Hello! I have recently been offered a job position as a content writer position in a gemstones company. However, due to possible (seems to be very little or none) contact with gems, I have been asked to submit 3 blank cheques on the joining date as per precautionary measure. Is it right for the employer to ask such?

Dear Colleague,
It is not lawful to demand " Blank Cheque" from any one. Never ever give such cheque and later it will hit you back any time. It is not a healthy practice hence refrain from such practice from your side and look for a better offer next.

I wonder what is the meaning of the demand anyway.
It is stupid because legally it can not be used.
The employee just has to issue a stop-payment order right now and sit pretty. Even if there is a reason and the employer banks the cheque later, it will not clear. Or the employee may give a blank cheque of a different bank altogether where he has no money.
In case they think of filing a sec 138 case, the existence of a dispute and absence of a real debt, will result in the case getting thrown out of the court. And if the employee files a FIR stating the cheque is stolen, then the criminal liability may come on the company.
