1) if you are not willing to work for 2 years in spite of having agreed to do so company is not bound to give you experience letter
2) you can rely upon your appointment letter , salary slips to show that you worked for 9 months in the organisation
Employer not ready to give experience letter
I am working in a company for 9 months , I had signed a contract/ bond of 2 years. Now I want to resign for some reason, but they are not ready to provide me any experience letter. Is that legally allowed for a company to do.

Since you have breached the agreement of not serving 2 years as originally agreed the employer is expected to cause some trouble which they are doing by not giving the experience letter.
I regret you do not have any legal solution for this.
What you are wanting to do is not legally allowed. If the contract mandates a 2 year service then you cannot resign earlier than that. Resignation has to be given in accordance with the contract, The company can refuse to relive and give you the experience letter if you breach the contractual obligations.
Thanks for the answers, 1. The contract is not written on a bond paper, its normal piece of paper.... Is it still valid ? 2. Is a company allowed to have such policy ? Ideally they should have a policy to make us serve the notice period and then relieve or recover certain amount as componsation for contact breakage. They make us work for two years on very pathetic pay by intimidating that we won't get papers and they will not help in background verification if we move to other company. Also 2 years bond is too much. Can we challenge this policy in court, all other employees are suffering too because of it.

1) company spends money on your training , incurs lots of expenses in hiring you . hence if you have agreed to work for period of 2 years with organisation it would be binding upon you
2) if you had not signed the bond it was sufficent if you served the notice period mentioned in your appointment letter , taken your relieving letter and left the organisation
3) even if you challenge the policy in court you may not get any reliefs
1. A contract can even be hand written on a plain paper.
2. The terms and conditions mentioned in the contract are legally enforceable. If a notice period is prescribed it has to be followed, verbatim for a lock-in period.
3. If 2 years bond is ''too much'' then you should not have signed it.

By violating the conditions of contract you are not eligible for seeking experience certificate and moreover the 9 months experience shall hardly be counted against your credit even if you get one.
However did you apply for it in writing and did you get a reply in writing, if not, do so and think about further course after that.
1. The contract need not be in a bond paper, if it is agreed mutually between parties with witnesses then it is valid.
2. Why did you not think about the said conditions while accepting the offer, it will not prove your cause at this stage.
3. You concentrate in your case alone and try to get relief by legal means, the others who are affected shall raise their issues individually.
