How Can My Friend Get His Service Certificate After Resigning Without Legal Hassles?

One of my friends worked for 10 months in an industry and then resigned. He completed the notice period as per the company norms.

After resigning, it has been almost two months, and he has found another job. His current company is asking for his service letter, but his previous company has not provided him with the service certificate.

Legal Options for Obtaining a Service Certificate

Can he pursue a legal notice or explore any alternative options in this situation? Kindly suggest, guys...

Dear Guru Nageswara Rao,

Your friend's former employer is not providing him with the relieving-cum-experience letter. Since the employer is not providing the said letter, what follow-up has your friend done, and why is the employer refusing to provide it? Although the notice period was completed, did the separation have a negative connotation? Does the employer wish to settle the score in any way?

Rather than pursuing the case legally, let your friend approach the former employer and request the relieving-cum-experience letter. The legal route is long and arduous. If the employer remains unyielding to your friend's entreaties, then we will consider what to do further.

Thanks,
