All the 3 points have no legal sanity, these are formulated by the companies under the name of retention bonus but actually they use these harass employees at the time of leaving.

Yes there are not legal rules for these things, actually speaking its not allowed to take original marksheet from the employees. But recently this practise has increased in IT industry especially the newly setup IT company does this.
As we all know that IT industry has a very high attrition ratio to reduce that companies are using this as a tool. Money is something which employees would still think of leaving but not the original marksheets and certificate.

Sneha,
I'm aware about one company which takes retention deposit (which is deducting some part of employee's salary). It's not called retention bonus but is actually acts as a deterrent as employees were getting trained and leaving in between the projects. The owner was herself training the employees which also meant devoting her business hours to train + groom them. This part of salary which was deducted is paid as soon as the employee completes his / her probation period and that too smoothly. Employees are informed during interview phase only about this clause and is mentioned in their appointment letter too , rest decision is always in their hands. Like Aditi has mentioned about harassing employees - I've so far not heard about any such harassment or ill feelings amongst employees. The company which I'm referring is one of the leading architectural firm in my city and has a small team size.

Sneha,
I agree with s_shalu .She is absolutely right.First thing is that there is no legality regarding your issues but during the time of appointment if it is clearly mentioned in your appointment letter about any kind of retention bonus then there is no issue as company shows transperancy about its terms & condition from day one.So ,some of the above with the views that this tool is only used to harras is totally wrong,as the companies are bound to pay every due at the time of full & finals.But submitting your original documents should be avoided.
