As per Indian law, what is the duration of notice period once the resignation is issued? I work for a company that demands a notice period of 90 days to be served before letting the employee free. If this isn’t served, the employee is expected to pay his salary amount to the duration of 90 days to the company. Is this policy of the company legal as per the law? If not, can this be challenged?

There is no such law as far as i know, but if u don’t serve notice period then they will not give u experience letter and will give u a hard time before leaving. If u don’t want to serve try to buyout atleast 1 or 2 months or better serve whole

Indian law does not cover notice period. The contract you signed with your employer has this clause. 

Also the buyout will be at the discretion of the company. If they wish they can reject your buyout offer and ask you to serve the full notice period.

Yes that’s legal. The law does not specify the notice period. It’s agreed upon by the employer and the employee. And since you’re working for this company, you would have already signed the appointment letter where these policies would be mentioned.

If there are major companies doing it, then you better understand that they know the law far better than you know including it’s loopholes and all.

Yes it’s completely legal, as many said here already.

If you breach it, some companies even file a case for recovery of notice pay(i.e,. 3 months salary)

As per agreement between you and your employer. That’s why some companies have 1-3 months notice period.
