Am I required to serve notice, resign early, disclose job?

I joined my first job in March 2025, and there's a 1.5-year bond mentioned, but I only signed the offer and appointment letter. The role is not a good fit. A new company is hiring freshers without PF, and I do not have a PF yet. The notice period is 60 days. Am I legally bound to serve the full notice period? Can I resign sooner? Should I disclose this job to the new company, or will it affect background checks or future opportunities?

You are legally bound to serve the 60-day notice period unless your employer agrees to an early release. If you leave early, you may face penalties or salary deductions. It is important to disclose your current job to the new company, as not doing so could affect background checks or future opportunities. Check your bond's enforceability before resigning.
