Force early relieving without any benefit - they have a right to do?

Clarification Needed on Early Relieving Pressure

I am working with XXX Global Services Ltd. I have resigned, and my notice period is 90 days. However, my manager is calling me and pushing me to accept early relieving. He forcefully wants me not to serve the notice period and leave with immediate effect. The reason given by him is, "Business has no requirement of you in the role." I have informed my manager that I do not have any job in hand, which is why I can't go for immediate relieving. I can only accept this if they pay me for 3 months in case the business wants me to quit my job. He denied this and insists, saying it's a management decision and I will need to leave.

All this discussion started since I resigned. Prior to that, there was no such announcement or anything indicating that the company is ramping down and asking engineers in my team to resign.

Concerns About Manager's Intentions

I never had a very good relationship with my manager, and he never had any chance to fault me for any issue. Maybe he is now trying to kick me out and get rid of me as I always had questions against his decisions and processes. The same thing happened today with one of my team members who has been serving their notice period for the last 40 days.

Please suggest if this is something which is acceptable or if they have the rights to do this.

P.S. - Both resignations, mine and my colleague's, were due to manager/management issues.

If your notice period is 90 days as per the offer letter, then the company cannot officially force you to leave earlier. If the company is so eager, let them pay you 2 months' pay and release you earlier. Whether the manager likes you or dislikes you is another matter, but here you should focus only on rejecting pressure to leave on unfavorable terms when there is no ready job for you.

Now my manager has accepted the resignation and set the date to 15 Jan 2018. I didn't accept the same on the Online Tool. I have call recordings and other evidence that prove the manager is provoking me and forcefully wants me to leave the organization ASAP. What should be my next course of action as he is trying to harass me mentally? I have also sent an email to the HR team explaining the issue; probably they will get back on Monday as we are in the weekend now. :(

Don't get provoked and remain strong. Mental harassment has no meaning if you are not getting outwardly upset or reacting angrily. The manager will find no reaction and will stop it. Stick to your requirement, which is legally correct. By provoking you into an angry reaction, the manager or whomever is trying to get another handle to change the direction of the whole case.

Write him an email with cc to his boss, HR, & CEO.

Dear Sir,

This is in reference to my resignation dated ----, where I provided a 3-month notice period in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in my appointment letter dated ----. As per my RL, my last working day will be ----.

During our meeting on (date), please accurately quote the exact words he has communicated to you and elaborate on your conversation.

I would like to emphasize that should you require me to leave earlier, kindly reimburse me for the remaining notice period. If you are unwilling to buy out my notice period, I have no intention of departing without completing the full notice period.

I am committed to upholding the terms and conditions of my appointment. It is important to note that these service conditions have been established by you.

Kindly provide me with clear insight into your intentions.

Thank you.

Letter of appointment states that in any circumstance, the notice period will be a minimum of 30 days following the acceptance of resignation. Does this mean that I can be relieved 2 months before my actual end date without being paid for another 2 months?
