Hi Sir/Madam,
I submitted my original documents to the third-party company at the time of the offer. They said they would provide it after one month following verification. I joined their client company on 02 May and was not able to adjust due to the timings. So, I talked to the third-party HR, and they said I have no option but to serve a three-month notice period or pay the equivalent salary. However, I did not sign any bond, and I did not have any such agreement. Feeling anxious, I continued to work, but when the client inquired about the situation, they understood and released me from my duties.
Now, the third party is insisting that I pay the three months' salary, or else they will not provide me with the certificates. I suggested they assign me to another client to fulfill my notice period, but they are not considering this option and are only demanding payment. What should I do?

First of all, you should have given only Xerox copies of certificates for verification.
Anyways, the company has no legal right to retain your original documents. I do hope you have some official acknowledgment of them receiving your certificates.
Talk to them firmly and demand the certificates back or tell them that you will take legal action against them, including a complaint to the civil police.
