Hi, I am basically in a fix because of having my last working day and date of joining as the same date.
I left my organization "X" with 22nd June 2010 being my last date as per the resignation tool used in the company. However, my manager changed the date to 23rd June 2010, and even the HR manager supported him. When I confronted them, they realized they had made a mistake and agreed to get it fixed through the backend (as the tool did not allow them to update it from the front end).
Till my last day, i.e., 22nd June 2010, they could not get the tool updated, and the HR told me to consider 22nd June 2010 as my last date and proceed with that, which I did. But she also told me to fill vacation for 23 June 2010 in the timesheet.
Now when I joined my next company "A," the date of joining is 23rd June 2010 and faced no issues till now. In fact, I have already changed jobs after that and have gone through various background checks, all of which have been positive with no issues around this space. I am joining a new company, and they have not even asked for any proofs for my 2010 employment (as they were only interested in the last 2 years of it).
Now, the problem is that my relieving letter from Company "X" states my last working day as 23rd June 2010 (I know I should have got it fixed at that time, but I somehow missed it, and it's killing me now). I also checked my full and final settlement, and I have been paid till 23rd June 2010 (though I thought vacations are taken as loss of pay during the notice period). My date of joining the company "A" is also 23rd June 2010.
Would this create any issue in the future, especially in getting a work visa and stuff? Is there a way to get this fixed?
And yes, one more thing: I have the emails from my company "X" with a detailed discussion that happened over email where I did ask HR if there would be a problem because of the mismatch between the tool date and my actual last date, and she clearly mentioned that it would not affect it and to consider 22nd June 2010 as my last working date.
Can these emails be used as legal proofs in case something goes wrong?
Can I use these emails to get in touch with company "X" to get the corrected relieving letter?
Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

I don't think you should panic. As you said, you've already switched jobs, and nothing was mentioned about it, which means that the problem was either overlooked or solved.
Secondly, why would you have a problem in getting a VISA? God forbid, but in the worst scenario, you can show your emails to explain that the 22nd was your last working day and due to some error, it was mis-typed as the 23rd. You can also show your company emails for reference.
You should get in touch with your seniors only when such a situation arises and ask him/her to explain the situation to the person who wishes to get it clarified by the authorized person. Otherwise, just keep calm.
All the best.
