Company is terminating me after 3 years of service

Hi Friends,

I am working in a reputed IT MNC company for last 3 years.

Recently, I applied to move in a better domain which initiated my Background Verification again.

I had submitted 3 months experience of a small company which is shut down.

I've already provided them Relieving cum Experience letter of that company.

They are asking for HR contact person or any colleague who worked there earlier; but I don't have any such info now as company is closed and I am not able to reach out to anyone.

Background verification team has asked my Delivery manager to terminate my services.

I am already under Service bond now which is of 1 Lakh value.

Would I have to pay that money also?

Below are the Screenshots of a clause in bond and consequence of Breaking that clause:

Clause 4(d)

Consequence of Breaching Clause 4 (d)

Please assist as of what can be done from my end to avoid such embarassing situation as I had already provided them all the details.

Your prompt assistance will be appreciated from heart.

Thanks all for your help...

Repeated Query:

The BOND is crafted in lieu of What Extra Ordinary favor by employer?

Some certified training at employer's expenses from some certified Instt that added to your qualification?

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for your answer.

Now, the question is a bit different as I want to confirm authenticity of bond.

Company is moving me to a different track which is resulting in this bond of 18 Months duration.

My question now is that if they terminate me on the basis of failed background verification which is not my fault, do I still have to pay 1Lakh bond amount?

I heard from fgew of my colleagues that Bonds are not legal in India and only issue would be in giving me my experience letter.

Please share some light on it.

Thanks everyone for being so helpful.

Is it stated in any of the documents/rule/policy that employee has to make an application to move to dept/domain of………………(name of Dept/Domain) etc………………..and sign a BOND/Service Agreement? Download all such documents/rules and attach these with email from personal email id followed by letter thru Redg.Post!

Was the BOND/Service Agreement place before you after moving you to other Dept/Domain?

Did you sign it and do you have the copy?

The BOND/Service Agreement was created in lieu of what extra ordinary favor by the company e.g. some certified training from some certified Instt. at the expense of company that would add to your qualification? If there was no extra ordinary favor then your counsel may opine that  BOND is unconscionable/unreasonable/VOID.

 

It is none of your obligation to provide any HR personnel or anyone else working in the company.

As per law of the land each company has to register before starting its business and apply before closing to an authority as prescribed under law/enactments applicable to the company.

If it was IT company then it was covered by (name of the state) Shops and Commercial establishments Act and as per (name of the state) Shops and Commercial Establishments Rules it had to submit various registers (even if by electronic mode) pertaining to DOJ/LWD/Wages Paid of each employee………………………e.g. Form ‘N’ as in Tamilnadu Shops and Commercial Establishments Rules. If the company has not submitted these again you are not at fault.

If you have submitted experience certificate and BGV was conducted on joining and it succeeded then it is sufficient. It is internal/private need of the company and you are not involved in it.

If company does not know how to conduct BGV or is unable do it on joining and repeatedly later, you are not responsible and accountable and not liable to pay any penalty.
