Dear Sir
I had received the offer letter from one company & I accepted the offer by signing it. The offer letter contains the following clause:
1. I should confirm the date of joining with in ten days & detailed appointment letter will be issued after joining.
2. Please confirm your acceptance. After acceptance, we both are committed and therefore as per the policy, the notice period of two months would be applicable, if either party withdraws & pay the equivalent compensation.
Due to some personal reasons, I cannot join this company & company is asking to pay the money equivalent to two months salary.
Please advise me, whether I have to pay the money to the company, if I don't pay the money, Can company take any legal action on the basis of this offer letter.
I need your help in this regard.

Dear Poonam,
An offer letter is given by the company to the candidate so that one can consider the benefits and opportunities they are receiving and make a decision. As per my understanding, accepting or rejecting the offer is entirely at the discretion of the candidate.
Once you join the organization after accepting the offer and your appointment letter has been issued, the notice period clause applies. Generally, offer letters do not include a notice period clause.
Now, Poonam, you need to check what was mentioned in the offer letter and have you already confirmed that you will be joining them. Please clarify when the offer was made to you, whether you have accepted it, what the date of joining was, and when you withdrew the offer.
Please provide more detailed information.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I believe that you have just accepted the offer letter but have not yet joined the organization. You need not pay anything to the company since you have not joined it. If you are on a probation period and you leave without completing it, in this case, you will not have to serve the 2-month notice period as you have not been confirmed by the employer.

Dear Poonam,
An offer letter is the letter of intent issued by the company and generally mentions only the details about the position appointed for, the location of appointment, and the tentative date of joining. The letter of appointment issued by the company mentions all the terms and conditions that are binding to the employee as well as the employer, and either of the two parties can challenge the other legally.
In your case, if the offer letter and appointment letters are two different documents, you are not bound to pay them unless you have been particularly advised to do so at the time of accepting the offer letter.

Hi Poonam,
Anuradha is right - it is your wish whether you accept the offer or not. Once you receive the appointment letter, you are bound to follow the terms and conditions. The offer letter does not bind you to the rules.
In your offer letter, did they mention the notice period? Please provide more details.

Hi Poonam,
As per my past experience, I would say that the meaning of an offer letter is "You are selected for that company." Whether you wish to join or not totally depends on you. Since you have given a confirmation email, this is only an offer letter. Until you have accepted the appointed letter, you are not an employee of that company. Only once you have accepted the appointed letter will these conditions apply.
Please send me the contents of that offer letter. I would be able to provide a brief overview after reviewing the contents.
Keep in touch.
Bye, take care.
