Can I Give Resignation To My Employer Within Two Months Of Joining

Since left TCS after two months there as a fresher, and I received a bill regarding final settlement charging me for the bond amount of 48,000, so should I pay it?

You don't need to pay anything.Just because an agreement is notarized with a stamp paper attached, doesn't mean that it is defensible in court. In layman's terms, the stamp paper merely says that an agreement did take place. But if TCS were to take you to court for breaking it, the court will rule that this agreement is unconstitutional because it is in violation of your rights. Courts have already made this ruling before in the past, so a legal precedent is already set. The case would not last long.This is similar to how a law can be passed in the parliament but later if a petitioner challenges it in court, and the law is found to be in violation or in contradiction of other legal tenets, then the court can strike it down.TCS knows well that these agreements cannot be defended in the court. They are never going to take you to court, because they already know they'll lose. But making an agreement is not illegal, so they do it anyway. Simply because it scares and discourages less-informed employees from leaving before 2 years.What the government needs to do it make this agreement bullshit illegal and make people more aware about this widespread scam.I left my first company without paying my bond. In fact, I challenged them to sue me. Ofc, they didn't. At my next job when they wanted me to sign a bond, I told them, "You know as well as me, that these bonds don't hold in court". You should've seen the look on that HR person's face. But that wasn't a win for me... They reduced my monthly salary and told me that I would be paid 2 lacs together after 1 year, thus ensuring that I would have to stay for a year if I want my money. In fact, this is what most companies do now. TCS can't because they don't want to pay so much in the first place, which is why they resort to these empty legal threats.

Should I take a project after joining the base location in TCS if I'm planning to leave the company in 2 months? Also, will it affect me negatively if I give my resignation letter immediately after joining?

If you're in TCS (or other services provider), it doesn't matter you're in a project or bench. You have to serve the whole notice period.When you resign , you suprisingly become a critical resource and they cannot let you go before 3 months( notice period).There will be a formality, where they (hypothetical ly) tried their best to retain the critical resource without giving promotion or salary hike or written confirmation of onsite(trap to destroy your technical career).If you have a job in hand, I would suggest you not to join TCS and get the offer from other company telling your present salary to them. You will get a good salary and that would be your first company. That helps when you again try to switch. This shows you are loyal to your company and you would be to the new one also.Moreover, best thing to do is getting a master's either from A level institutes either MS or MBA, otherwise, you might stuck in the office politics , you have to remind your manager even for a 50 rupee cab reimbursement that you took on Diwali holiday to come to office.Decision is yours.
