Dear Atif,
The employer cannot blacklist you from future employment. This is just pressurizing you to sign the bond.
If anyone have signed the bond with a company for a particular period of time that doesn't mean he can't leave this company before that particular time. These bond are just to ensure that you leave that organization in a proper way according to rules of the company e.g. serving notice period after resigning etc.
You need not to worry about signing the bond. If you are willing not to do so then still they can't force you to do so or they can't abscond or blacklist you. So don't worry . . . . just chill

    Dear Atif Ahmed
    If it is possible please contact the Nasscom and submit your side justification for not willing to proceed further. Hope you made all the record for your support. You can challenge the decision made by the Company and file a case against the employer and Nasscom as a Defamation Case. Better you consult a good lawyer who is having good knowledge about the Administration Activities as well as Nasscom and BPO work culture.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains incorrect information. There is no legal basis for filing a defamation case against the employer or Nasscom in this scenario. Seeking legal advice is advisable, but defamation does not apply here.

  • Hello Atif Ahmed,
    Further to what S. Bhaskar suggested, a few queries.
    1] Did your Appointment Letter have any mention of the Bond/
    2] Was anything related to the Bond mentioned to you anytime during the selection process [interview, etc]?
    3] Reg your objections to sign the Bond, you mentioned 'due to some reasons,I refused to sign it'. Can you mention the reasons--at least in general terms, if you don't like to discuss the EXACT reasons in this Forum?

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect. The user should be made aware that signing a bond after receiving an appointment letter without prior mention violates labor laws and is not enforceable.

  • Hi Atif,
    Do your offer letter from this particular company mentions, you should sign a bond for a specific tenure?
    Did the recruiter communicated to you on this agreement at any point in recruitment process? Any written proofs based on which offer is made?
    FYI, No company will complete your joining formality (generate appointment letter) wihtout ensuring, you signed all the necessary statutory documents, NDA/s, code of governance and ethics and necessary company specific documents without required BG checks done.
    No company have a right to ask to sign any agreement against employee interest unless communicated and agreed by the employee earlier.Company is narrating cock and bull stories to convince you to sign the bond. As Mr.Bhaskar said, you inturn can go legally against the company.

  • Hi everyone,

    firstly,i wnt to thnx evrybody for their suggestions.I would like to tell u,that my offer letter does not contain any clause which says i have to sign the bond,however,it is given that in certain conditions the company may ask to sign a bond,and it was communicated in the interview,that on certain conditions the company may ask you to sign a bond,but before joing,i asked my many of my collegues working over there,they told me that the bond is not needed,they just say like that only,so i orally agreed.but after the joining,they asked me to sign it,but since i was also preparing for some jobs in gov. sector,so i thought,if i would sign the bond,i would nt be able to leave the company fr 1 yr,even if i would be selected in my gov. job.So,i refused to sign it,and as they were forcing me to do that,so i left frm there,and now they r callin me and saying that they will abscond me and blacklist me.

    So,please tell me that,can they do so?

    and will it have any effect in my future jobs.

    regards,

    Atif

  • Hi,

    Good morning!

    Can someone help me with the below query? I have joined a service-based company 25 days ago, and now I have received an offer from a product-based company. Therefore, I have resigned from my current service-based company. They are requesting me to serve a notice period of 60 days, but the new company requires me to join in 15 days. Please advise if I walk out without serving the notice period, will they declare me absconded.

    Please assist me with the following question: If my current company declares me absconded or blacklists me, will other companies that are part of the National Skill Registry (NSR) be able to view these reviews?

    Thanks,
    Vish

    (Fact Checked)-The current company can declare you absconding if you leave without serving the notice period, affecting your career. It's essential to negotiate a feasible transition period with your current employer to avoid negative consequences. (1 Acknowledge point)
