Navigating Job Offers: How to Tell Company B About Your Notice Period Situation

I had received an offer from Company A, and after that, I was relieved. While serving the notice period, Company B approached me. During the interview, I did not inform them about the notice period. Now, Company B has selected me, and they are asking for a resignation copy. How should I inform them that I have already been relieved and intend to join their company? If they ask why I didn't disclose this earlier, how should I respond?

Hi, I trust you were properly relieved from Company A. In that case, there is no harm in sharing the information that you were already serving the notice period with Company A while attending an interview at Company B. As long as the relieving process is done properly, there is nothing to worry about.

B Company questioned me about why I didn't inform them that I was serving a notice period during the interview. Now, I am mentioning this after receiving the offer. However, my relieving is valid with proper documentation. What should be my response in this situation?

Hi, you may provide a fitting answer like, "Though I submitted my resignation, my ex-employer was not very keen to relieve me and was forcing me to continue," etc.
