Four traps inside every Indian offer letter
Most employees sign in 24 hours and spend years untangling what they agreed to.
Offer letters you don’t fully understand
Non-compete, garden leave, clawback, retention bonus, variable pay fine print — all legal, all negotiable, most people sign blind.
Notice period surprises at exit
Your offer says 90 days. The sector average is 30. Your HR says you owe ‘buy-out’. Most of what they claim is not enforceable under Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act.
Opaque salary structures
CTC includes gratuity, notional PF, and ‘special allowance’ that never lands in your hand. The tax impact of structure choices differs by 8–15% in take-home.
Gratuity and full-and-final disputes
Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, five years of continuous service earns gratuity within 30 days of exit. HR delays are common and actionable.
