Dear Members/ Experts / Professionals
Please guide me in addressing my issue.
From 10th Jan 2005 to 9th July 2010 I was employed at ABC, a Society registered under State Society Registration Act, and from 10th July 2010, I was transferred to XYZ Pvt Ltd, a NBFC, a separate legal entity. During my tenure at ABC I was made to sign on Employment Bond of Rs 1 lac with ABC for 5 years on 25.01.2010. This Employment bond becomes automatically null and void with my transfer from ABC to XYZ Pvt Ltd. The transfer was made at the instance of Owner
Owner of both ABC and EFG are same. Under this 2 organization I have working for 9 years. From last week Dec 2013 as per my request, I was transferred to my Home State but Salary was reduced by 1/3. As this was not viable, on 24th March 2014, I submitted my resignation and no Notice Period was serve. On 14th July 2014, my Final Settlement along with Experience Certificate and Relieved Letter was released from my last employer i.e XYZ Pvt Ltd.
The issue is that in the Final Settlement, they have not incorporated Bonus and Leave Encashment. Instead of adjusting Notice period deduction with leave encashment, they have deducted one Month Salary Directly. Even though Final Settlement was release from XYZ Pvt Ltd, they have deducted Rs 50 k as Bond amount that was signed with ABC. Gratuity and EPF is released.
Please let me know the legal validity of deduction of Bond from 2nd company on the basis of bond signed 1st org and how to take up the matter and to whom I should approach for refund of deduction of Bond Amount and payment of Bonus and Leave Encashment.
For Clarity , Employment bond is reproduced below
