Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Dear sir/mam, I have signed a bond for 2 years for my ex company in which it was mentioned that I have to pay Rs 60000 as penalty if I leave before my bond period. I left the job after 16th month since in my offer letter it was written that I will be in a prohibition period of 6 months and after that period my salary will be revised but my salary was revised in the salary of my 16th month that to Rs 1230.

I have not given any notice period. Now they have sent a mail asking Rs 60000 immediately. They have not mentioned about any legal action in mail. But is it legally wrong if I don't pay.

Please reply. If you want personally my mail id is [email protected]

Dear Anshu,

Since there is a provision in your Offer Letter that the Company will revise your salary on completion of six months probation, and since the Company failed to revise your salary, you have a valid reason to quit the Company prior to completing of the bond duration. No, it is not legally wrong if you do not pay the amount demanded by the Company. In fact, you have a perfectly legal reason for not paying the Company any money since the Company did not revise your salary on completion of probation.

Regards,
