Yes, you can resign after 9 months. But after the resignation, you need to serve 3 month service period. This is how your 1 year will get covered. Remember that you are "resigning" not "leaving".

Yes and No both.
Yes when? You need to pay bond money only if you are last day of working falls before the bond period. For example, If you joined TCS on 1 July 2021 and your last working day is 29 June then you need to pay bond money as 1 year is not completed.

No when? If your last working day falls after your bond period. For example, If you joined TCS on 1 July 2021 and your last working day is 2 July then you need not pay bond money as 1 year completed.



Is it risky to resign after 9 months?
Yes, but connect with HR and get a solid confirmation that you will be not released before the bond period. 


What should I do to minimize the risk?

A way could be to resign after 10 months. Then 10 + 3(service period) = 1 year 1 month which is more than 1 year so you will not be required to pay any bond money.
