As a software developer in Mumbai, I recently resigned from my Indian private limited company after serving the mutually agreed notice period. However, I’m facing some issues:
1. My company deducted a bond amount of ₹1 lakh from my salary, despite not providing the promised training or meeting the agreed terms. They refuse to provide copies of the bond agreement and the letter justifying the deduction.
2. They are withholding my annual fixed incentive, which is always paid to employees resigning after 12 months, even though I resigned well after that.
3. The HR department admitted over the phone that they make employees sign agreements based on their lawyers’ advice, but don’t necessarily follow everything in those agreements. They refuse to put this in writing, but I have proof of the conversation.
4. The company is demanding I settle the bond amount first before they provide my signed payslips, Form 16, and letters explaining the salary discrepancies.
I’m seeking advice on how to proceed with this situation.

You have a strong case for challenging the bond amount deduction and withholding of your incentive. The company’s refusal to provide documents and their admission of selective adherence to agreements raise serious concerns. You should consult a lawyer specializing in employment law to understand your rights and options, including filing a complaint with the Labour Department or initiating legal action.
