My sister got trained by a big company and signed a contract with her previous employer. The contract says that she has to work for them for three years after her training and pay 30% of her salary if she joins another company. Now she has a job offer from L&T, but her previous employer is asking for money to verify her work on a third project. Should she pay them?

Based on Indian law, your sister is not legally obligated to pay her previous employer for verification of her work on a third project. While the contract may have a non-compete clause, it’s unlikely to be enforceable if it’s unreasonable in terms of time period or scope. She should consult with a lawyer to determine her exact rights and obligations under the contract.
