I’m working in a hospital in Navi Mumbai. My appointment letter mentions a one-month salary deposit that won’t be refunded. It also says (in a separate circular dated 10/10/2016) that I need to pay an extra month’s salary or have it deducted from my salary. Plus, they won’t give me an experience letter if I resign with 24-hour notice. Is this legally sound? Could you explain in detail?

The one-month salary deposit and the additional month’s salary requirement are likely illegal under Indian law. The hospital cannot withhold your experience letter for giving 24-hour notice unless it’s explicitly mentioned in your employment contract or you have signed an agreement with a bond period.

Namaste. I’m a doctor, having completed my MS degree a year ago. I’m looking for a hospital with good surgical exposure to enhance my skills.

We’ve decided to use an affidavit for this contract, but they’re refusing any bond or notice period. Will this affidavit legally bind me if I resign after a year?
