Employer Asking For Clearance Certificate In Advance To Settle Dues And Issuing Reliving Letter

Dear Professionals,

More than a month ago, I resigned from the company. After a week, I asked for my relieving letter, 12 days' salary, and a conveyance amount for 3 months. The company has accepted my resignation but has not issued the relieving letter for over a month. Consequently, my current company doubts that I am still working with my previous employer.

My previous employer is delaying the issuance of the relieving letter and the settlement of dues because they require a consent or clearance certificate from me beforehand. They will provide the relieving letter and settle all dues after I serve the clearance certificate.

My question is, should I issue a clearance certificate in advance or not? What action should I take? My current employer has stopped my salary for the current month as I haven't submitted the relieving letter. I feel a bit hopeless.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

What "CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE" from the "Employee" Please clarify? Do you have a resignation acceptance letter? What was the Notice Period as per the Appointment Letter? Normally, the Employer will issue a Clearance certificate. Some Employers insist on a "No Dues certificate" from the Employee. You were employed as what? Have you not shown the resignation acceptance letter to your present Employer?

You have only one choice. Give a "No Due Certificate/letter" subject to payment of the following dues:

1) Settlement of salary for the period worked from...............to ...........amounting to Rs..........
2) Conveyance (Allw) amount for the months/period of: from..........to............. amounting to Rs......:
3) Other payment/clearances such as: EPF, GRATUITY, BONUS, BALANCE OF LEAVE ......DAYS IN EL A/c, etc.

And request you to issue my Relieving Letter and Experience Certificate.......

Also try to obtain transfer forms processed like EPF/Gratuity/pension a/c. You also can give a copy of this letter to your present employer.
