How Can I Get a Relieving Letter After Being Terminated for Absconding?

Dear Sir/Madam, I am an employee of XYZ Bank. Due to my father's illness, I was held up in Delhi for the month of June 2022 and was unable to join the bank. I had already informed my senior authority via email. However, I briefly rejoined for a few days in June 2022 and applied for privilege leave. Unfortunately, none of my leave requests were approved, even though I have many days of leave remaining for the year. Consequently, I received a termination letter for absconding due to voluntary abandonment of service. Could you please advise me on how I can obtain a relieving letter?

If the organization has not issued the relieving order, you need to get in touch with your branch and inquire about the reason. It is quite possible that, in this case, the termination order itself serves as the relieving order since the termination is done at the instance of the bank. Have they completed your full and final settlement? If so, it also means that you are finally relieved of all responsibilities towards the bank.

Full and final settlement has already been completed, but HR states that in the event of voluntary abandonment of service due to an absconding case, a relieving letter will not be provided. I have mentioned that I will require this letter when joining a new company. Please advise on how to obtain the relieving letter.
