Its demotivating to the new joinee. Its illegal. If you are hiring them, then hire with a faith into them. Otherwise, don’t hire.

Hai.,
Its one of the practice followed in HR, now a days, If you want take Certificates you should follow proper procedure and documentation.
1) In Written Agreement with Terms & Condition which are both parties must agree.
2). Give Acknowledgment what ever you received for the employee.

Dear Malik Sir,
I also came across few of the companies specially securrity services do take originals from filed officers in form of security as filed officers deals in cash distribution of the organisation. sometime they carry 10-15 lac. cash in one day. but after a fixed period let say 6 months of services companies return these documents.

It is not proper and is also illegal to retain the original documents of the candidate.
This practice reflects on the bad ethics that the Company follows - To be avoided at all cost if the Management is wanting to project a fair and clean image of itself to its employees and to the public.

Dear Ellundula
It is not illegal, but it is illegitimate to do so. I have time in and again stated that recruitment comes under the ambit of business risk, without taking this risks no company can work at any time.
Also if the document is misplaced, or damaged, then the person to whom the document belongs can sue your company for negligence and also for theaft.
As the case would be against company, it would amount the directors to be answerable.
Also just because few HR people did start some practice doesnt mean, that we have to follow the same, and if there is need to follow then follow practice that are good and sustainable.
By collecting original documents, the company is not only increasing its cost of recruitment and asset management, but also incurring additional legal liablity which is not required to be incurred at all.
And either ways the company cannot retain any of the original documents even if the candidate leaves company without proper formality, because as per law the employee is the owner of the certificate and you are just mere caretaker to whom, it has been given by the employee for safe keeping.
So think do your company want to go from all this troubles or keep it clean and free recruitment proceess
