Dear Client,
If any contract is to be signed between the employee and employer the same is supposed to be signed in between the parties at the time of joining the organization only and not at the time when you have served the notice period.

Further, NDA agreement are signed when in the course of the employment certain confidential assignment is being assigned by the employer to the employee, then at that point of time the employer may ask you to sign NDA for that assignment.

However in any circumstances you are not advised to sign NDA.

As far as full and final settlement is concerned then same depends upon the internal procedure of the company. However if they take unusual time for the same, you can approach the competent court after serving notice of immediate release of your salary. In case of any other clarification please feel free to contact.
