Stuck Without a Relieving Letter and Settlement After Six Months – How Can I Resolve This?

Hi all, My name is Bijesh, and I am currently working as a Manager in a bank. Previously, I was employed at one of the leading banks in Kerala for over 6.5 years. I resigned from my position on May 10th and completed a one-month notice period, with my last day of duty being June 9th.

It has been six months since I left, but I have yet to receive my relieving letter and full and final settlement from my previous employer. They claim that the verification process is still pending. This delay is causing issues with my current employer, as they require an experience certificate for my confirmation.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to handle this situation effectively. Thank you for your assistance.

Have you completed your exit formalities/separation formalities with your previous employer in line with the separation clause mentioned in the appointment letter issued to you? If yes, please demand the relieving letter. In fact, you should have collected your relieving letter on the last employment day with your previous employer.

Now, the only thing you have to do is to approach the management of your bank, explain the situation you are currently facing, and request a relieving letter.
