My employer is asking me to pay a bond amount of ₹66,000 even though I’ve served my one-month notice period. They’ve also held back my last one and a half months’ salary and are asking for an additional ₹16,000 to reach the total bond amount. They’re refusing to release my PF until I pay and won’t provide me with a copy of the bond agreement. Is this legally acceptable?

This practice is likely illegal under Indian law. Employers cannot legally deduct salary to recover bond amounts, hold back PF, or refuse to provide a copy of the bond agreement. This action may be considered unlawful restraint of trade and a violation of your employment rights.
