Hi Uday,
It is not one year from now, but one year from the date I leave. A blanket "No Hire" clause is way too much - we will never know who is a client, who is a client contractor, a client competitor, is it only a client I have worked for or only the specific project I have worked for, clients of sister companies, and so on. (By the way, I am still to work on one yet).
To coerce an employee with threats of action into signing one-sided clauses is unethical. Just for getting this clause signed, the company forgot all the dedication and loyalty I had shown for the past one year. What assurance is there that they will treat me any better even if I sign now?
Thanks,

Dear,
If they introduce a new cls, you can refuse it; it amounts to novation. As far as the bond, if they do not give you an assignment, demand it. If they are not willing to, they may relieve you of your persistence, and you can overcome the bond.

Hi Roshan,
You need not worry so much, dear. Your current HR cannot harm you. As an HR professional, I want to share a few things with you about getting a job:
- First and foremost is the attitude and potential of the person.
- Eligibility, experience, and soft skills.
I believe that if you have the above, nobody in the world can keep you away from a good job.
I agree with the previous advice; simply sign the non-hire bond and separate yourself in a harmonious manner. As for the relieving letter, it cannot hinder your employment in any major IT company.
And always remember, what happens, happens for the best because the best is waiting for you.

Thank you very much for all the above discussion!!
I appreciate the reply posted by "Nitin" who resolves the issue in a single line.
Dear friend, please note that this is a universal truth as well as a country-wide prevalent law and practice. Any amendment, change, or insertion of a new clause made by one party in a contract that is already signed and agreed upon between the parties renders the contract abolished. The contract would be null and void in the eyes of the law.
For example, as per the contract, an employer is bound to pay you a monthly salary or stipend of Rs. 5000. If, after a year, your employer raises your stipend/salary to Rs. 5100 or more, that is a clear-cut change in the contract's clauses, which cancels the contract. So, you may not need to worry, just sign the paper under reference, which would later exonerate you from the liability to serve the organization for two years within the bond period, and you would be at liberty to leave your employer at any time.
