I was working in a school before a week. 5 days I resigned, and I gave the reason that my mother-in-law is not well. I told them I will pay one month's salary. At first, the Chairman agreed, but now he says I will be relieved on one condition - I must not work anywhere else this year.
Can the Chairman threaten a lady like that? If I work, can he take action?

He cannot say so. This is not a valid clause. If there was no contract between you and the school while joining, or if there is a contract but there is no minimum employment period, then he cannot impose any restrictions on you. Please specify what the clauses of the contract are, if there are any.
He cannot impose restrictions that are not there in the contract itself. So, you are not bound by any such limitations. See the website below for more.

The clause is that we are supposed to give a month's notice or one month's salary which I am drawing. I am ready to pay one month's salary. He says he will be behind me and has very good contacts in the city, so if I work anywhere, I will be in trouble.

I have not signed any bond but signed in the appointment letter which the clause says above I have written.

Dear Ms. Jyothi,
The Chairman is not convinced with your reasons for leaving the organization. He thinks that you are leaving to join elsewhere. The solution is to either convince him by showing various documents relating to your mother-in-law's illness or leave the department, taking the risk. If the case relates to Bengaluru, the city is so big that nobody has the capacity to keep surveillance on one person in such a large city.

Continuance of paid employment under the same employer or elsewhere is a matter of personal choice as well as discretion of the employee concerned. Therefore, restrictions, if any, imposed by the employer in order to reduce attrition by way of notice or payment of notice salary in lieu thereof, facilitate finding a suitable substitute and to recover the cost of training, if any, incurred in the event of the trained employee's failure to fulfill the stipulated minimum post-training service should be reasonable as well as justifiable. When these conditions are fulfilled by the outgoing employee with the due approval of the employer, formally or informally, the employer cannot impose fresh conditions like the ones mentioned in the posts.
Paid employment cannot be converted into a system of slavery suiting the whims and fancies of any arrogant employer.

The clause is written that I cannot go for an interview or join a new job without any information, which is subject to law. What should I do for my living? I am not interested in working in the previous institution as the workload is more. If I work in the same city, will I be in trouble.

Such a clause, even if written and accepted by you earlier, is illegal. It is violative of article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India. So, don’t bother about it unnecessarily.

I think the chairman is just trying to threaten you for not leaving the job, as you have already paid him one month's salary. Nowadays, no one is that free to act like this. There are many unemployed individuals in the nation, so don't worry. Be relaxed, first take care of your mother-in-law, and then proceed.
