Hi, I'm Piyali, working as a value banker at ICICI Bank. On 29th August, I submitted my resignation and am currently serving a notice period of 1.5 months. However, I now wish to withdraw my resignation and continue my services at ICICI Bank. Can anyone suggest to me whether the withdrawal of resignation is possible or not? And if it is possible, what would be the formal procedures?

Dear Piyali,
The withdrawal of the resignation is possible. You will need to submit the application for the same to the concerned authority in your company with a cc to the HR department. Upon their acceptance of the withdrawal of resignation, the process is reversed. However, acceptance is needed from the competent authority.

As resignation from a job is a voluntary act of the concerned employee, he/she has the right to withdraw it before it is accepted by the employer. Since you are in the notice period, your resignation is prospective. Therefore, the acceptance of it by the employer before the specified date in the resignation letter does not affect your right to withdraw it before that date. A resignation tendered to take effect from a future date will be in an inchoate state until the specified date expires. According to the ratio decidendi of the judgment of the Honorable High Court of Karnataka in Kushalnagar Works, Kudige v P. Nagaraju [1988 I LLN 1019], the refusal of the employer to permit the withdrawal of resignation is unjustified. Upon the withdrawal of resignation, the employee continues to be in service.
To avoid unnecessary conflict in this regard, send copies of your withdrawal to your immediate boss and the HR department as suggested by Ashutosh.

Dear Piyali,
Please do confirm with your HR and reporting manager whether they have issued an offer letter to your replacement and if that candidate has accepted the offer.
Yes, you can withdraw your resignation. One option is by sending a formal email on top of your resignation email. I believe both HR and managers aim to retain employees who are already familiar with the work, and they will be pleased to welcome you back.
