I joined L&T Construction two years ago and signed a bond with a ₹2 lakh penalty if I leave before completing the term. It’s been 16 months now, and working conditions are really tough. Plus, they promised me confirmation after a year, but it’s been four months since then, and I haven’t received it. Now, they’re also letting go of employees. I’ve found a better opportunity and want to leave, but will I have to pay the bond penalty?

Indian law allows you to break a bond if the employer fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, such as providing confirmation or maintaining reasonable working conditions. You have a strong case to argue against paying the penalty due to L&T’s breach of contract. You should consult a lawyer to assess your specific situation and understand your legal options.

Is it possible to transfer the service bond from a public sector bank to LIC, since they’re both government entities? Please advise!

I joined a recruitment firm in India a couple of months ago, but realised the role wasn’t right for me. When I resigned, they pressured me to quit without serving my notice period, threatening to deduct my salary (around ₹10,000). I’m willing to complete my notice, but they’re refusing. Now they’re saying I have no choice but to accept this. Should I send a legal notice? How can I get my full salary back?
