Frustrated with Resignation Denial: How Should I Handle My RM's Cancellation?

Hi All, I have been working in an IT company for the past 3 years. I decided to quit and submitted my resignation. As per the company policy, the notice period is 2 months. I resigned on 1 July. I never accepted the withdrawal of my resignation during the discussion with the RM. The RM cancelled my resignation, stating that it was discussed with the employee along with HR. I was surprised and disheartened. When I asked the RM, he said to speak with HR. HR informed me that the RM cancelled my resignation due to business reasons.

I am frustrated with the denial of the basic employee right to resign. I have already sent a concerned email to the RM about the reason for the cancellation of the resignation request, but he is not replying.

Please advise on how to proceed further.

Thanks,
Sudhakar

Did you take a signature from HR or RM on the duplicate copy of the resignation letter in person or via email as proof of receipt? If so, then even if they reject your resignation letter, the notice period continues the same.

Thank you for your reply. I have email proof. The tool itself sends automatic emails to HR and RM. Please advise on how to proceed further. They are threatening with termination if we do not comply. Please let me know the governing laws for IT employees, as well as the options available for seeking justice.

Forward that email to the company's main email ID. Also, that will be valid proof. Even if your RM excuses that they had never received such mail, then show that copy also. Don't worry; after two months, you will be relieved.

As Ashish mentioned, if your RM has acknowledged the copy of your resignation or if you have received any automated mail receipt, that should be sufficient for your release. Don't worry. In case of any threats, please contact the Ministry of Labour.

Thank you,
Sudhakar

Need not worry. They can only threaten, nothing beyond that. Try to document all correspondence in all forms. In extreme cases, you may refer to the Labour Commissioner's Office.
