I am working in a private school paying RS 50000 as security amount and signing a bond of one year. The management makes the teachers suffer by deducting their salary on account of inadequate reasons.viz; fluency of English.

If any skipped the job, the security will not be paid back.
Sir, is it against law. If I skip ,will the law procedures be in favour of teachers. Is it part of bonded labour.

Bonded labour is a form of slavery where you owe your employer money, so they take wages. What country are you in because you are on an international site.

What they are doing is illegal if they are doing this because of the reason you stipulate. Not knowing the country you are working in makes it hard to judge, where the laws and practices may be different then in the US or Canada.

This would be entirely illegal in Canada.

I'm pretty sure, the currency in Canada isn't "RS", but I don't know what country it is either.

As I undestand what OP is saying, the employer required OP to post a bond, conditioned upon performance of the job. Although I have never heard of such a thing being done in the U.S. it wouldn't be quite the same as indentured servitude (which, of course is unconstitutional here). The employee is free to quit, although he or she might have to forfeit the bond.

RS is Indian Rupees

Of course it isn't Canadian currency AK, it would be preceded by CDN, I live in Canada, AK. This is an asian currency which would explain 'identured'. Forfeit the bond, and yes, come up with a lot of money to pay it off.

Yes, Smoothy, it is, I just googled it. So yes, indentured makes sense now.

in kerala state (INDIA)

Bonded labour is a modern-day form of slavery where a person takes an advance and then works for the owner in an attempt to pay it back. Of course, they never end up paying the loan back because the owner exploits the victims.

In India
According to the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976, bonded labour is illegal in India. However the law states that there needs to be a advance or obligation (due to the existence of caste-based bonded labour) and at least one of the four following conditions:
- victims is paid less than minimum wage
- restricted/no freedom of movement
- no freedom to take another job
- no freedom to sell your goods in the open market

Your case is not bonded labour but you may want to discuss the rights of teachers with a lawyer.

Hope this helps.
