Hello, I have completed 4 years, 8 months, and 18 days in my office. Now, for the purpose of cost-cutting, they want me to resign. The company is ready to pay one month's salary. My question is, can I resign or ask the company to terminate me? Which option would provide me with the maximum benefit and be good for me in the future?
Please answer ASAP.

If the company gives you one month's notice with gratuity for the 5 years, then you can be relieved over there; otherwise, you should ask the company to terminate you with the proper reason for your termination in your relieving letter. If the company provides the reason/explanation for relieving your service, in that case, you can also approach the labor commissioner. However, peaceful relieving is good for your future assignments and avoids wasting your time on further litigation.

Considerations for Resignation and Gratuity
Termination is not a good term to use when considering your future career perspective. You are entitled to gratuity, and it is important not to forfeit that amount for any reason. Please provide one month's notice along with your gratuity request. Make sure to receive the gratuity amount before submitting your resignation letter. You can also request a three-month notice period, even if the clause states one month.
