Dear Sir / Madam,

A performance or service bond of any nature, being bonded labour, insisted by a Company is illegal and a criminal offence. The bond period and the penalty for breaking the bond is mentioned in the Service Agreement. It is never advisable to join a Company that insists on such a bond from you, because if you break the bond midway, the Company will press recovery of salary for the bond period short served by you in the Company.

Regards,
