I am working for an IT firm and I was made to sign a Travel Contract.
Now, I have got an offer from another company, they are ready to pay the contract value. However, they have requested me to get a letter from the company on the letter head stating that I owe that amount.
I had a few questions regarding the same.
1. My company refuses to give me writing that I have owe the money is this valid.
2. The travel bond does not state the value that I am supposed to pay. It says that I will have to pay all the costs that the company has incurred for me for my travel. The company is asking me to pay 2.5 lakhs which includes charges like company travel agent cost and so on so forth and are also not ready to give the break up of the amount. Am I suppose to pay for these costs.
3. What would be the consequences if I don’t pay the money, as the amount that I spent on my travel was not more than 1.2 lakhs, as I have bills for my flight ticket, food and hotel stay.

Well i think the questions raised by you are contract concern,the important instrument is the contract executed between you and the company,the terms and conditions govern your relationship,if the company demands 2.5 lakhs where as you state that the expenditure comes to the extent of Rs. 1.2 lakhs,it amounts to dispute;if the contract instrument contains any provision as to consequences in case of any dispute then you are bound by the terms of contract,in nutshell the contract agreement WILL PROVIDE YOU THE REPLIES.
