I joined an IT firm in India and signed a two-year contract. After working for almost nine months, I left the job. Now I’ve received a notice about a hearing in November and a demand for INR 1.5 lakhs, as per the bond agreement.

According to Indian law, your employer can claim damages for breach of contract. However, the amount they can claim depends on the specific terms of your contract and the actual losses they incurred due to your departure. It’s recommended to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and obligations in this situation.
