A few days back I got an opportunity to work from home with the company, “ Skyhigh Technologies “ They called me and asked for my adhar card and a photograph and sent me an agreement to sign on. I received multiple calls from the company as I reading the contract hurrying me to sign the agreement. They issued me a workload of 230 pages within 6days. In the 7th day, early morning I receive an email from a person named Mr. Raghav Sharma who claimed to be the companies advocate. In the mail he mentions that I would have to pay the company an amount of ₹6700 for not completing the work on time or legal action would be taken against me by the company. I, for some genuine reason could not complete the work on time. So, I paid the company the requested amount and the helpline people told me that the matter was solved. After an hour or so, I receive a call from the advocate with him asking me if I wanted to continue working for the company or would like to cancel the registration. I wanted to cancel my registration so I said so. He told me that I would have to pay the company ₹25980 to cancel my registration or I would be taken to court which would cost me ₹1.5lac. He gave me another option of paying the company ₹26, 000 or so to stay with the company and work with them for another 10months.
None of this was mentioned in the agreement. The only thing that was mentioned was the penalty amount which had to be paid if the employee failed to complete the task on time - which I had already paid. On what grounds can the company demand such an amount of money from its employees? Also, Mr. Raghav Sharma who is claiming to be the advocate of the company has been continuously mentally harassing me demanding money from me without even giving me enough time to think - says he would take serious legal actions if I failed to pay the company.
