I am a software developer in Mumbai. The company is an Indian private limited company. I have recently resigned from the company after serving the mutually agreed notice period.
1. The company deducted a bond amount of 1 lakh from my salary, although they have not provided me with training and have not met the mutually agreed terms. At the time of joining, the company had informed me that the bond was in place as they provide training. However, the company has refused to provide photocopies of the bond and the letter against which they are claiming the amount.
2. The company is not paying the annually fixed incentives that are always payable to me if I resign after 12 months. I have resigned months after that period.
3. Over the phone, HR has informed me that they make people sign these letters according to their lawyers' advice and do not necessarily follow everything written in these letters. However, they have to include those clauses as it is a legal requirement. HR refused to confirm this information in an email to me, but I have proof of our conversation.
4. The company is pressuring me to settle first before providing me with signed payslips, Form 16, and letters regarding the non-crediting of salary.
Kindly advise?

Contact a lawyer and send them a notice to comply with the terms of the appointment. Also, ask them how the 1 lakh is deducted when no training is provided. In the same notice, demand Form 16. Your lawyer will know how to word the notice.

A bond cannot be enforced unilaterally. It entails deprivation of property, and hence, it is obligatory that the company should have initiated due process of law if they have decided to enforce the bond and recover the amount. You may serve a notice through a lawyer.
