This is in case the Employee is not covered under ESI scheme or not contributed towards ESI:
Section 53 of ESI Act, 1948 debars us from getting any compensation under any other Act(s). Section 53 may be read as under:
53.Bar against receiving or recovery of compensation or damages under any other law.—An insured person or his dependents shall not be entitled to receive or recover, whether from the employer of the insured person or from any other person, any compensation or damages under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 (8 of 1923), or any other law for the time being in force or otherwise, in respect of an employment injury sustained by the insured person as an employee under this Act.
An employee whose wage/salary is up to Rs.15000/- is to be covered under ESI. In case of death or permanant disablement ESI will take care of the compensation part and there will be no need to pay compensation under Workmen's Compensation Act since dual benefit is not allowed.
Compensation under the Employees Compensation Act, 1923 is not an accrual based fund created by any periodical contribution from the employee over a period of time at the end of which to be paid back to him with interest. On the contrary, it is a definite sum of compensation to be paid by the employer to the affected employee as defined under the Act of 1923 or his dependents on the contingent of any employment accident resulting in death or any disablement of partial or permanent nature.. So, no deduction from the employees towards this is permissible as this Act is applicable only to establishments and/or employees not covered by the ESI Act,1948.

Hello Tamizh,
It's not happening. There is no hard and fast rule that an estt. should issue confirmation letter irrespective of the time served and/or completion of probation period. When you decide to resign no escape to serving the notice period of 60 days. However it's the discretion of the management as to when you could be relieved after acceptance of your resignation.
