Legal Question in Business Law in India

01.04.2015

Dear Sir / Madam,

You should have the selection letter from the Indian Engineering Services (IES) clearly stating your joining date as 9-10 months from now. Otherwise, that future selection is not guaranteed, and is hypothetical and meaningless. You should request the Meteorology Department to waive off the bond condition, which they may not agree to. Only if you already have the IES selection letter with the future joining date, you should first check whether both the organizations fall under the same or similar State or Central Government or semi-government undertakings, and ascertain and confirm whether the prevailing Government rules and regulations and conditions that permit the transfer of the employment Bond you are signing with the Meteorology Department, to the IES if you join them 9-10 months from now. In my opinion, if both establishments do not fall in the same or similar category, transfer of Employment Bond is not permitted. If you do not have the IES selection letter in your hand, you should simply take up the job in the Meteorology Department as a Meteorologist by signing the Employment Bond, without raising any doubts or questions.

In the event of transfer of bond not being permissible, you run the risk of paying up the money to the Meteorology Department, for breaking the bond before its completion.

Regards,
