Hello folks, I worked for one year and ten months with X company. Due to some personal reasons, I left company X. However, they haven't provided me with any relieving letter even though I asked for one a month ago. In that X company, my PF was generated. What should I do now? If an MNC company conducts a background verification (BGV), will the absence of a relieving letter jeopardize my career?

No, just because of not submitting a relieving letter from a company, no one's career would come to an end. It is a common practice among unprofessionally managed companies not to provide a relieving letter. If you mention the same in your CV, stating the reason for leaving as unprofessional management with a note in the remarks column that "No relieving/service letter available," the matter could be resolved. You need not hide your service with that company, but you should disclose it by explaining that you left due to their lack of professionalism and poor HR climate.
A company offering employment based on your disclosure will not initiate a background verification. After all, background verification is not a mandatory procedure as per any law in India. If a company does not accept your 'remarks' about the previous company, you should certainly avoid joining that company, as it might be similar to the previous one and conduct background verification just to avoid you even after you join.
