I am working in a small firm based in Mumbai for the last 1.9 yrs. Recently from the last 4 months, we are getting a salary after 15 - 20 days. Last month they have provided only half salary and half is on hold for no reason. As many people are resigning from the company, they have come up with Bond / Contract to hold the employee only to one team in the company and others don't have to sign Bond / Contract. Now the situation is I don't want to sign either Bond or Contract, so I have searched a new job. I resigned from the current company, they have accepted the resignation. We have 2 months notice period. I am ready to serve 2 months period / ready to buy out my notice period. but now the company threatening me to server for 3 months and train my replacement, and that is also a tentative date, not a fixed one. In our appointment letter, 2 months notice period is mentioned.
Now they have started threatening me to serve for whatever they want, otherwise, they will hold my relieving letter/experience letter, and all dues. They have already put my March month's salary on hold and asking me to sign the bond or serve till they found a replacement otherwise they will not release my salary.
I don't want to go into legal proceedings/complaining. I am thinking after serving 1 month I will abscond from the company and join another one. As they are holding my two months salary now, it is sufficient to a buyout for 1 month notice period.
Please help me with what should I do now.
Should I serve 1 month and abscond, then after absconding will I face any legal action?
I have all the threatening mails from HR department on my personal email id, are they sufficient to tackle any legal action taken by company after I abscond.
