Confused About Resignation Dates and Payouts? Seeking Clarity on Legal Rights and HR Practices

Resignation and Settlement Dispute

I worked in an organization where I had a dispute with the company. They asked me to resign, and after discussion, they requested my resignation on the 19th of June. The company agreed to pay my salary until the 31st of August. They provided acceptance on the company letterhead, stating that my resignation had been accepted and that I was being relieved immediately.

Kindly suggest if they accepted my resignation and relieved me immediately, should I receive my payout after the handover or 45 days from the last working day? When I went for the handover, they informed me that they would pay my salary on a monthly basis, and the full and final settlement would occur 45 days after the 31st of August.

I asked them to provide an accepted resignation letter mentioning the last working day as the 31st of August. However, they refused to give acceptance even via email. As per law, can I insist on receiving an email? Now they are saying that on the final experience/relieving letter, they will mention the 31st of August as the last day. If I present this to my new employer, the first acceptance they provided stated my last working day and relieving date as the 19th of June. But according to the experience/relieving letter, the last day is the 31st of August. Can I request an accepted resignation mentioning the 31st of August as my last working day? HR informed me that the relieving date and the last working day can be different. Is this correct? Kindly guide.

My question is different.

1. Can I insist the company to provide acceptance of resignation via email?
2. Can the relieving date be different from the last working day in the case of a holiday on the last day? I can understand that, but my scenario is different.

Dear Colleague,

The last day is mentioned or required to be mentioned in the relieving letter. In your case, since they have agreed to 31st Aug as the last working day, you should insist on them to include it in the relieving letter before you complete your handover formalities.

They agreed to mention 31 August on the relieving letter, but on resignation, they have mentioned 19 June as the accepted resignation date and stated that they are relieving immediately. HR told me that the relieving day and the last working day can be different.
