I want to submit my resignation just 2 weeks before completing 1 year with the organization. However, there is a clause which states, "In the event that you leave the services of the company within one year of joining, you shall be required to repay any joining expenses such as relocation bonus, travel allowance, accommodation, etc." Will this clause apply in my situation?

There is no mention about the notice period on resignation in the post.

What is important is the actual date on which resignation becomes effective, i.e., the date of relieving and not the date of submission of resignation. If the effective date of resignation falls after one year, including the actual service of the notice period, if any, the management cannot insist on the recovery of the sums mentioned.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. My notice period is two months. Therefore, if I submit my resignation within this week, the resignation submission date will be before the completion of one year. However, my last working day will fall after the completion of one year. This discrepancy raised a concern for me when I reviewed that specific clause in my offer letter.

If your date of relieving from the company will fall after completion of one year of service, you need not adhere to the clause mentioned by you.

Hi @stuti-karol,

My company has the same clause, and I'm planning to start my notice period two weeks before one year completion. My company has a one-month notice period, so I'll be effectively relieving two weeks after my one year completion. Did you face any issues? I too have the same doubt.
