Can I decline accepted offer immediately after accepting it?


13-Dec-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Hi sir/mam, I am an IT professional. I recently got an offer from a leading IT MNC. They sent me a mail and there was a link in that, after clicking on that link I cliecked a button which said 'accept offer'. Now the conditions have changed a bit and I want to decline the offer. There's a separate offer letter where I will have to sign and submit when I join there. I think, as I have not signed anywhere for now in any sort of contract and this is just an offer letter which confirms the intent and no contract, there's shouldn't be much issue but I really need advice from a legal advisor over here. Nothing is written in the offer letter in case somebody declines it. Please help me out here. i shall be highly obliged if somebody could reply asap. Thanks.

Dear Mister,
You are very much free to terminate your acceptance since ot was merely an offer letter and not a employment contract . The serious language or legality might have worried you but it is totally fine to deny the employment at this stage . You won't be asked for any compensation . Your on boarding process has not been formally initiated yet and it was just company's way of getting a commitment from a prospective employee . Hope the information was of help to you .
