A.Dear client,
From the content of the query, it appears that you were duped by a fraud company. If you joined an online Work from Home Data Entry job work on receipt of any offer letter from the Company, then go through the terms and conditions of said letter that stipulate a condition of charging of fine in case of incorrect/inaccuracy response or non-performance of assigned job. In case you find no terms as such in your offer letter then on receipt of such an unethical and arbitrary demand from the Company, then just ignore it. Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act makes provision for unliquidated damages (not stipulated in a contract) and section 74 of the Contract Act deals with liquidated damages (stipulated in a contract) and no compensation is attracted for mere breach of contract u/s.73. 74 of the Act unless such breach resulted in an actual loss or damage to the opposite party. However, on receipt of repeated calls or messages demanding money or threatening legal action, then make a complaint(GD) against the Company at the local police station and serve a legal notice enclosing a copy of the police complaint and informing them that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the Company for cheating and criminal intimidation u/s.415 and 503 of IPC. Hope the matter stands resolved thereafter. In case the matter is not resolved then consult with an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear Client, check with the Delhi Bar Council if the advocate mentioned in the notice is legitimate. If you believe the company is engaged in fraudulent activities, you may consider reporting the incident to the local police.
