About breaking bond
8 months ago
I want to resign before the committed period in the employment bond. What do I do?
A.Dear client,
If your company does not invest in your training, you have the right to terminate your work and walk away. This is only possible if you do not require a relieving letter or an experience certificate.

A.Dear Sir,
If the employer not spent any amount on your training then you can break the bond of employment and walk away. This can happen only when you are not in need of relieving letter and experience certificate.

A.Dear Client,
The validity of Employment bonds can be challenged on the basis of Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act,1872 which prohibits any agreement in restraint of trade and profession. The law states that an agreement (employment bond) will be illegal only if it restrains someone from exercising a lawful profession/ trade/ business. As per the mandate of Section 27, any terms and conditions of an agreement that directly or indirectly compels the employee to serve the employer or puts a restriction on them joining the competitor or other employer is not valid. The employee has the right to resign from the employment even if he has agreed in the employment bond to serve the employer for a specific period of time. In the case where the employer is able to prove that the employee is joining the competitor to disclose the trade secret then the court may issue an injunction order restricting the employee from joining the competitor. The following are the requirements of a valid employment bond agreement. 1) The agreement must be signed by the parties with free consent. 2) The conditions stipulated must be reasonable and 3) The conditions imposed on the employee must be proved to be necessary to safeguard the interest of the employer. 4) The employment bond is to be executed on a stamp paper of appropriate value in order to be valid and enforceable. Reach out to a Corporate Lawyer experienced in the subject for guidance and steps.
