Good day all.

Recently, my sister received an offer from one of the IT consulting companies (starts with the first letter 'T'). She is an expert in her technology field, and she was selected. They matched her offer letter with a career band typically given for those with lesser years of experience.

She accepted the offer on the company portal, and now the background verification process has begun.

Meanwhile, yesterday she received another offer from a company (let's call it X) that aligned with her interests, career band, and salary. She had been attending numerous interviews simultaneously, so being selected by X was a pleasant surprise.

Now, she is contemplating not joining the 'T' company, even though the background verification process has started.

Question:

Will she be required to pay for the background verification? She has almost 15 years of experience and is an experienced professional who has not frequently changed companies. This would be her third company in her entire 15-year IT career.

Additionally, the offer letter did not specify the exact joining date—it only mentioned 120 days from the offer letter's issuance.

Do companies in India blacklist potential employees who accept offers but do not join?

Note:

I have avoided using the direct company name in this post—I have referred to it by the first letter 'T'. It is a well-known brand by JRD T.
