Is My Company Right to Extend My Notice Period Based on Portal Update Date?

I have sent a resignation through email and updated it in the resignation portal after two days. My organization is considering the date on which I updated it in the portal as the resignation date and extending my notice period by two days. Is this valid?

In my opinion, the management's decision seems correct. What prevented the poster from simultaneously updating the resignation portal? When the employee sets the notice period as per the exit clause, it is always better to take into account the possible administrative delay.

My opinion aligns with Mr. Umakanthanji. The management's decision is correct. It implies that resignations should be submitted through the company portal as a mandatory rule of your company. You cannot hold your HR people responsible for your own oversight.
