I am sorry that I am able to give my comment only now on this topic as I have seen this thread just at this moment .
In my opinion , Umakanth did not abscond as he did not join the original company .
Absconding can only happen when you work in a Company for atleast a day .
In this case he seems to have signed a an appointment letter which would mean agreeing to all the conditions mentioned therein but he has not joined the job itself.
Hence the said company cannot file a missing persons complaint as he has not become an employee i.e. working with the company for atleast a day .
However professionalism demands that Umakanth informs the previous Company that he has already joined another company and the reason why he hass not joined the Company which was offering him third party work .

Hi Friends,
I do not understand why one should abscond when there are options before oneself regarding not accepting the job.
If you are told that you will be on the rolls of the particular company A and will be working for them, and the offer/appointment letter also states that clearly, you can always take up the matter and tell the concerned people that their actions are unprofessional and they have misled you into signing the offer / appointment letter. Then you have a case of quitting company as per the rules agreed.
Whenever one gets a offer letter or appointment letter, please read, understand every thing that is printed out there and then accept. Also make sure to clarify every aspect of the employment ( like this one where one was asked to work at another company while being in the roles of another) and make it clear to them about your concerns too.
Use the option of making public the unethical & unprofessional work culture of the company by revealing it to public wherein atleast some other prospective employee wont suffer on account of lack of information. Such companies will definitely lose talented employees - current & future.
There is nothing to fear when you get a notice. They are trying to arm twist you or trying to push you into doing something more stupid. You can consult a lawyer who specialises in Labour Law and related matters and approach the labour dept. Best thing to do is to send in a resignation letter and state the facts - based on which you had joined them and how they misled you into signing it - hence your resignation. Before pointing finger at the company, read all the clauses in the appointment letter and verify if they have said anything about your being posted to another company to work while being in the former's rolls. Atleast from now on, read, understand and if you are satisfied, only then join any company. There are hundreds of such black sheep MNCs out there who exploit employees. Do not forget that there are thousands of good Indian companies too who are ethical in their approach and work culture.
I have seen many companies during interview want the employee to join immediately and leave their current job on a days notice. But their own offer letter always states that the notice period to be served in case the employee wants to quit the job generally around 2-3 months. Always ask them bluntly why this clause in the offer / appointment letter while they expect you to quit the current one instantly to join them and ask them to reduce it to the same on the terms they asked you to join them or fix it to 15-30 days period. If they are not willing or flexible, say good bye right at that stage and walkout. Do this while you have a job in hand. Do not resign in haste because the other offer is mouthwatering.

The only difference of opinion I have with this post is that he should not send resignation when he didn't actua join. Instead he should reply to notice saying he didn't join on account of change of service terms from offer.

Hello Ms Saswata Banerjee,
The thread has generated an interesting long debate.
If you may please see the beginning of the thread, he has joined the company as seen from
his own words in the first sentence.
"I have recently joined an MNC for a hefty package. But on the joining day they informed me that I will be working for other company in the payroll of this MNC.I have already signed the agreement on the joining day.Since I don't like to work for other company in the payroll of this company, I decided to abscond from the first day....."

The third sentence also reinforces it. He mentions that he signed the agreement on the joining day.
In this case "joining" is as per the documents, even though it may not be physical presence and work.
