Can a company be sued for offering high CTC and reducing it later
18-Jul-2023 (In Corporate Law)
I got job in a MNC located in gurgaon and they offered a certain CTC(Salary) which I accepted and resigned from my current job. After 20 days they sent me revised CTC which is 3 lakhs less than initially offered CTC. I asked them to give a joining bonus of 2.5lakhs for reducing CTC but they agreed to give only 1.5 lakhs. Can I sue them for cheating me with initially offering high CTC and then reducing it after accepting the first one?

To prove criminal charges, for such cheating, you may find it difficult; further, if you intend to sue them for breach of offer letter, you need to be sure that you had accepted the offer in writing before the revision. Thereafter they have reduced the offered CTC. You can certainly reach to civil court for relief and breach of employment offer terms. Keep in mind what are you trying to achieve from this whole exercise while legal remedy is a long process to exercise your contractual rights and is it worth or not in proportionate of your time and relief expected.

They have offered you CTC after the negotiation between both side and your acceptance was on the basis of the CTC value. This was the basis on which you decided to resign from your current company. They should not reduce the salary post the documentation which was done after the negotiation. I would like to know few more aspects before coming to a conclusion.
