If you apply Job web sites like Naukri, Monister 99% they asked this questions. But No one was given me the Job after taking all this data..90% of HR run through Mafia to kill big companies operations or secrets of Business process.

Answers are already given in the Resume or the Form already filled up by the candidate. If interviewer wants to
confirm from his answer face-to-face —– its just time pass.

Question should be asked from related job-fields only.

If the recruiter can be sued for asking these so called illegal questions, then all those Government as well as Private Companies should be sued for asking these questions. As the recruiting Company put the condition of Age Limit at first in their Advertisement.
Besides Marital Status, and all other illegal questions remains in their Printed Forms or Verbal questionnaire kept with themselves.
Now, The question arises that if the recruiting agency or company is having not any legal right to ask these questions, then why do they ask these questions ? And above all why not any legal action be taken against those culprits,who are involved in such illegal practices .
At last Where should the sufferer go for Justice ?

All companies want to do a KYC on prospective Employees. There is nothibng wrong or illegal about knowing some of these details .
If you do not wish to answer these questions forego the opportunity of an employment with that employer. If you are going to give a notice or file a case on such interviewers, the word in the field will go quickly and all your prospects will dry up
You have the freedom to choose

Very few questions 1-9 are relevant for interview. Most of answer are in CV apart from .

HR team has his own ways to assess ? Can be clear diplomatically not hurting anyone.

Thanks.

Object of the Exercise is Opaque
Seems exercise relates to walk-in-Interviews, where in back-up of candidate(s) is just unknown
There is no expression of any qualification, abilitiy, interest & aptitute etc…at all in the question box.
In the present world of sociological setup a balanced system of recruitment is to persist
Yes, question of Nationality, Crimes committed/arrested, evils of dri nking etc. are ever unavoidable.
ANY WAY, QUALITY OF MANY ANSWERS AND ENGLISH THEREIN MAY NOT VERY MUCH GO INFAVOUR OF THE CANDIDATE(S) CONCERNED please

In reply to Unknown. Yes I do agree with the porvided explanation. But calling for interview and asking these questions it would be better to include these questions in the CV or companies wanted profile itself so that it will save the time money from both sides if corporate world is really sincer in their approach of selection no body is 100 percent perfect in all respects even th e interview takers are also have some drawbacks in their personal and professional life

All questions are relevant from a recruiter perspective:
1. Are you married?
Relevance: Married people generally leave offce at 6.00 pm sharp. hence if a job requires extended hours probably not a good idea to hire a married person.
2.Do you have plan to have children?
Relevance : Specially for ladies in India, after child’s birth they don’t bother about work at all and go on paid leave, you would not like to pay someone for doing nothing, in case the lady is employed by a company for long, it is company’s liability to give her leave for it.
3. How do you plan to balance your work and family responsibilities?
Relevance: it’s the company’s responsibility to provide a work-life balance to the employee.
4. How old are you?
Relevance: knowing age is related to multiple things, companies want young blood to perform with full pace in junior level jobs, and the person with more age (might be related to a number of years of exp) will be assigned job in management to bring experience in company matters.
5. Do you have disabilities or health problems?
Relevance: Company provides health insurance cover and invests a lot to groom an employee, why a company will hire a person with health problems, knowing the fact that person will take frequent sick leaves and enjoy health program while he/she has not done anything for the company.
6. What you religion affiliation?
Relevance: It might not matter, but I have seen some employees go for namaaz in work hours and leaving early on Friday, taking off or no productivity in Navratri, Ramdaan etc.
7. Have you been arrested?
Relevance: Obviously, it’s a relevant question, nobody wants to hire a convicted criminal. Later once the person is associated to a company, can bring bad name for enterprise also. for ex – News that employee of X company did a robbery.
8. What country are you from?
Relevance: Behavioral and cultural differences are big, when people say “Send email soon”, in Canada “Please bring file soon as per your convenience” -for another Indian it wont be a big deal but probably for Canadian its offensive.
9.Do you like to drink socially?
Relevance: Multiple companies are adopting no alcohol policy in their company functions, knowing the fact, some employees drink irresponsibly and bring chaos.
Remember the fact all these things in behavior can be very big for performing a job and business is not charity to pay for you, but pay for the work you do for it.

I was attracted by the word “Illegal” in the title. I hoped to see some case law. But the article goes on to use words “unethical” and “inappropriate”. It is highly inappropriate and unethical to say some thing is illegal and then move to ethics. It is not illegal, though!

It happens generally, When an individual is asked such questions they either answer or when they refuse to answer they get rejected giving any lame reason or without any reason. An interviewee will not think of filing a case not because the process is lengthy but because the company has best of the lawyers and has ability to play the game. But for an individual who went for an interview most of the time are not aware of such like humiliation or these actions or questions are also known as humiliation. How it is important for an individual to know certain rights that they possess, companies should also be warned for their such like activities. May be the best and user friendly way to highlight their humiliation is sharing the experience on social media platform. It is much convenient and easy to reach and also cost effective. We all should come together to cut the crap of corporate world. May be this link will be useful to deal with in office humiliation if any.

Even if the interviewer asks the mentioned questions, one can literally do nothing about the company and interviewer. They would find a different excuse to not take take the interviewee if one would not answer their questions appropriately. Its the monopoly the companies play by asking in-appropiate questions and the candidate is left with no other option especially females.

Age should not be a burden to a candidate and or the employer should not reject him for the job for age.
