Thanks a ton all of your for your quick response.
I also discussed with few.Bonds in India are not legally enfoceable be it employment bond or training bond.
But I believe atleast we can have an undertaking from the employee for forfeiting the amount spent by company in case they leave before some specific tenure. Whats your view?

Is Training Bond legal in India? Can a company/consultancy file a case against employee for Bond? Waiting for your responses — Group members Thanks & Regards, Chintan K Doshi

Dear Verma
There is nothing like training bond. If you are sending an employe abroad for training then all these clauses should be a part of the appointment letter.
In any case why worry about the employee leaving. If your company's culture is very strong he is bound to stay. Rather than working on the training bond work to make the company culture strong.

Hi Sujal_03

Regarding your statement;

"In any case why worry about the employee leaving. If your company's culture is very strong he is bound to stay. Rather than working on the training bond work to make the company culture strong."

I am a foreign national who's been living, and working in India since 2007 - specifically in the field of Technology. While consulting multiple companies within this field I have consistently seen that specifically "freshers" are problematic. In this industry, training takes between 3 to 6 months before anyone can be "productive". So, invariably, the freshers do the training and then disappear after the company has invested up to 6 months of time, money, and energy into giving them the knowledge required to actually do something.

I also notice that other companies, for example Punjab National Bank have every single employee sign a "Bond", and have been privy to them also executing the bond and taking 2Lakh+ from errant employees who decide (usually for some financial reason) to "switch banks". I've also seen companies like Google extract large sums of money from employees who do the same.

So, the question is this: If Punjab National Bank can do it... are they doing this activity illegally? If Google can pursue people for it then are they doing that "illegally"? Lots of people here are stating that a "bond" either for training or any other reason is "illegal". If it is they how can companies like the above get away with doing it then? Unless of course, it's actually a "legal" practice in some way, shape, or form.
