I joined a company in 2024 which said they will give me a joining bonus of 85,000 INR along with my 1st salary and if I leave the company within 12 months , I will have to return the joining bonus.
The twist is, due to delay in Approval they credited joining bonus along with my 2nd salary (not 1st salary) and I left the organisation within 12 months.
Genuine question - Since they themselves did not honour the rule of crediting joining bonus with my 1st salary, can they still demand me fulfill the 2nd part of the clause (refund the bonus) when they themselves did not fulfill the 1st part of the clause?
As proof I have salary slip which shows that on the 2nd salary cycle after joining I received the joining bonus.
