Hi Cite Contribution,
My joining date was mentioned as 1st September 2011, and it was stated that I would be on a one-year contract. Nothing else was mentioned in the letter, except that if I don't join within this timeframe, this offer will expire.
Thank you for your insights.

Hello Garima, glad that you have learned the lesson—but a word of caution: take it in a positive way rather than with a feeling of being cheated or taken for a ride (I know it's tough, but that's a much better way). It's only then that the lesson you learned will stand by you later—a part of the experience in life and career.
A comment on your response ["...the company is a very reputed one and previously I was working with a small firm so I was tempted..."] to Anil's remarks. Please note that the size of the company doesn't really matter in such matters or cases. After all, they too are staffed by 'human beings' and human nature being what it is, such situations can occur irrespective of the size or stature of the organization. Just use the research feature at the top of this page and you will see how many threads have been posted regarding such issues or situations—some with the company names mentioned.
Another possibility—maybe the consultancy HR person couldn't (or rather didn't want to) see the disappointment on your face by giving the 'bad news'? I have seen this happen quite often—just as we know 'how' to give the good news, it's also important to learn 'how' to give or break the 'bad' news to someone—else maybe you could find yourself in that HR person's place later in your career.
All the Best. Regards, TS

Dear Girima,
I would like to remind you about your own punchline under your signature - "If you think you could, you definitely can!" Read these words again and again; you will definitely get the inspiration to fight back in the current situation and later in life as well.

Hi Garima,
I totally agree with the above suggestions and would advise you to understand the "time value." Wasting a single hour in your career may hamper your success in life. Hence, please try to seek other opportunities. Moreover, if you have the caliber and potential, you will get a better chance to work for a more reputed company.
Normally, companies do not opt for such practices as stated. This adversely affects their prestige and market value. There must be a genuine reason for putting you on hold. Tomorrow or later in your career, you might get a bigger opportunity in the same company. At that moment, would you really feel comfortable working with those people against whom you made a complaint? Every employee of the company is bound to work as per company norms, so you really don't know the actual reason for delaying your appointment.
I would suggest you have a positive attitude and treat "NO" as "NEXT OPPORTUNITY." Move further in your life and climb the steps of success.

Dear Ms. Garima,
It's not about the company you want to complain about; it's about the management or those who are operating it. To be honest, NO COMPANY IN THIS WORLD IS BAD because it has NO LIFE, but it's all about those WHO PUT LIFE IN IT, the so-called "MANAGEMENT" or whomever is held responsible for making employees complain about xyz issues. It's not the company that needs correction but the SYSTEMS and PROCEDURES in place or in practice.
With profound regards
