My current company has a lengthy notice period of over two months, and they’re not flexible about early release, even if I’m willing to pay for it. This long wait has cost me several good job opportunities. I’m considering quitting on medical grounds to accept a new offer. What are the legal options for quitting on medical grounds without any repercussions?

Indian law doesn’t explicitly allow quitting on medical grounds to escape contractual obligations. While you can resign for medical reasons, your employer is still entitled to enforce the notice period unless it’s a genuine medical emergency. You should discuss your situation with your employer and seek their understanding, as it’s generally advisable to adhere to the terms of your contract.
