Recruitment Caution - Clarification in Public Interest

It has been brought to our attention that certain unscrupulous elements are sending out false emails purporting to be from Ashok Leyland. The emails ask the recipient to appear for a face-to-face interview for a job opening with Ashok Leyland and to deposit a certain amount as a refundable interview security in a designated bank account. The emails are falsely stated to be from officials of the HR Department of Ashok Leyland. Ashok Leyland has not sent out any such emails. Please note that Ashok Leyland, as a policy, does not collect any money as a pre-employment requirement. These communications may carry the ID or domain name of Ashok Leyland (or a deceptively similar name) to make it look authentic. Ashok Leyland is taking appropriate steps to tackle the issue. We advise candidates not to respond to any fraudulent emails and not to make any payments.
