All above comments are correct as individual, either it is right or not, but signing any letter need some sense, if company sent legal notice, one has to respect law. Decision may in favour or not in employee, but it is unnecessarily problem which will be hurdle in career. Company wants bond because mostly Employees too have not any creditability, they change job frequently, thats why company keeps some bond. Now it is on the contents in bond to see and take further steps.

Mr. Jamadar,
I can understand under the circumstances that you must have signed the bond. Off course you cannot say you were forced to sign it. On the other hand you need not take that defence also. The bond that you have signed needs to be approved by a court of law under the Contract Act also. That apart unfair labour / employee practice is also an issue here. We have delt with such situation several times for our clients and have shown the employer where they stand in the eyes of law. They cannot think, just because they are a company and you an individual will not be able to take their might and cannot fight them if challenged, and meekly give up Rs. 50,000, I don't think so. I would first retaliate with a harassment (legal) notice against them, first and then wait for their reply. Its only then we know how serious they are about extracting that money from you, even a average lawyer will make them spend at least half of that amount to begin with. If you need any help in Bangalore do let me know. Do not fret, you have not committed a crime, the bond is a litigation-able if need be, and you will succeed for sure.

I don't think there is anything to worry about right now. If the company follows up with you send a legal reply to them asking for the copy of contract signed by you, so that you can look into the finer details, including working hours, and facilities etc.
I they had asked you to work for 12 hours and the same is mentioned in the contract they will not furnish the copy of contract as this can be challenged.

Generally such type of Bond is not legally valid in India,since it is executed under coercion.Moreover, it is a violation of Section 27 of The Contract Act,being an agreement in restraint of profession.It is also a violation of aticle 19 of our Constitution,which guarantees freedom to to do any trade ,business or practise any profession in India.However, if it is executed to recover any actual loss suffered by your employer then it can be recovered e.g. to recover actual trainning expenses incurred for your training abroad.Under no circumstances, you should agree to pay any amount from your own pocket.Let them recover it through court by proving the actual loss suffered by them.If they do not accept your resignation or settle yur dues,please file a writ against them before the concerned High Court.

Hi,
Later review all opinion, i would like to inform you that no one can pressurize to anybody to work under such scenario, i am from Pakistan and currently working as HR Manager in reputable firm and just want to inform you that as per 'International labor law' no one has right to bound, while in Pakistan when anybody hired in Government organization, he has to signed such legal bond paper but if he didn't want to work, no one can bound him/her.
Advice: You can take medical certificate against that company that you are not able to work under such scenario and your mental abilities don’t supports/match with their organizational structure.
Advice: Colleague’s Leg pulling environment in that company badly effecting on your physical/mental health in just (6) days.
I don't think so that anybody will agree to hire/or to pressurize such employee after receiving such arguments.

Important word what you have mentioned is the word "Force"..... how do you justify that?? Once you justify that and if it is accepted legally you are put of your obligations.....
For more accuracy, I shall peruse the agreement and may think further........

Dear Fellow,
Signing a document without reading through it first is the greatest mistake any unexperienced software engineer can make. Nevertheless, while you have not received any salary from the company, you can not be forced to pay any thing to them more so when they did not give you any training. No law court any where in the world will enforce that bogus rule and regulation of that company.
Relax and think of better things to do.
