In India, residential societies cannot legally cut off essential services like water supply solely for non-payment of maintenance fees. This is considered an unfair practice and can be challenged in court. However, societies can pursue legal avenues like sending notices and filing lawsuits to recover unpaid dues.

Previous Article I signed a two-year contract with an IT company in India. They promised a salary of ₹2 lakhs plus a 25% interest. They also said they’d pay ₹15,000 per month during training. However, they only trained us for three weeks before asking us to start working. I’ve been with them for two months now and want to leave. What should I do?
Next Article I joined a new company a few months ago and signed a document on an A4 sheet. It mentioned a two-year bond and a Rs. 45,000/- penalty if I left before completing the term. Unfortunately, I had to leave after three months due to health issues. Now, the company is demanding the full penalty amount, threatening legal action if I don’t pay. Is this bond agreement legally valid under Indian labor laws?
