Can an employment contract be subsequently changed by the employer, unilaterally, to the disadvantage of the employee, like reducing his salary or perks etc.?
Also if company does so then does it need to take acceptance of employee? if yes then when we give increment to employee then why dont we take his consent?

Dear Shraddha,
First thing I wud say the contract between employee and employers works in many ways for both the parties and none of them can breach without any mutual understanding or consent. Not employer can do make the changes without getting prior consent of any employee nor employee can breach employment letter and if one of party do breach, have to compensate for this. Well they can't change it without your consent. If they make changes to your contract without your consent you can sue them to honor.
But tell me something, what does your contract letter say about amendments or changes to the contract? Does the contract say it is subject to changes and amendments by the principal/employer? If the contract is subject to changes or you have some clause who are saying something in favour of your employer, may be able to make such changes without any notice. However, at the same time you probably have the ability to reject or accept these changes.
Therefore, you also have to care about the clauses in your contract that allows your employer to make a lot of changes to your agreement at their whim and to recognize them you must have to go through your employment contract again.
