I cracked a small startup interview (they have just 13 employees) and they have already released offer letter. But I also want to sit for further interviews throughout my notice period. But this startup is pressuring me to give them an update about the offer. I have asked a couple of days' time from them. If I accept their offer now and not join later, can they take steps against me?

Hi - I have donations given to Team Everest for Nov 2021 with receipt. But IBM AskHR says no support for donations tax exemption on Form 16. Thus, the donation isn't deducted on my Form 16. Can I now update the donation directly on E-filing.gov u/s 80G for exemption or will that cause an issue ? IBM

They cannot take any drastic steps. You can politely reject it as early as another offer is available. But I highly suggest that, if you are not interested in joining just let them know upfront, you probably have the offer letter already.

You have to accept.. that's the norm. Any company will give you less than 3 days to accept. No harm accepting and not joining.. at max you can never work with them again in future

Accept and keep giving interviews for other business

Thoroughly read the terms and conditions in that offer letter.
Some startups involve fine or some hidden clause to keep hold of the employee.
Won't that apply only if I sign an employment contract and join them?

In another thread there is a similar case where company's lawyer had issued notice to the candidate.
Yes. Just saw that. But an offer letter doesn't have legal validity. The lawyer should know that. How can they sue?
