Hi,
I am not sure whether other guys may have asked the same question.
I was working with one good "B" company for 21 months. I have an appointment letter, salary revision certificate, FORM-16, and IT return for the same year, but I do not have a relieving letter. As I gave short notice to the company (I feel that I made a mistake at that time, but due to a stressful employer and no salary hike for more than 1.5 years, it caused me to do so).
I know I followed a bad practice by giving short notice, but I feel that even after giving complete notice, it was difficult to get a relieving letter.
I feel it is impossible to get a relieving letter. I had a good relationship with other guys who worked for the "B" company for more than 4 years. I am getting a good opportunity which will help me achieve my career goals.
Could you advise me on what course of action I can take? I have real experience and not a fake one (I really worked for the "B" company)... and just because of the relieving letter, I am losing an opportunity. Other organizations do not require a relieving letter from the "B" company. I am a little worried. Could you please guide me?
Thanks in advance.

In this case, there is only one thing you can do—tell your new boss that you can sign a declaration wherein it will be mentioned that you accept that you have been relieved from your previous employer and you have no dues to settle with him. Due to XYZ reasons, you are unable to submit the relieving letter.
You will also mention there that in case your previous employer files a case against you or takes legal action, your new company will not be responsible for the same, and only you will be the one who will be responsible.
If you think you can get the relieving letter after some time, you can mention it there. If you think you can't get your relieving letter, it will be mentioned there in the declaration.
I'm sure that should work. You can try and give this advice to your new employer and let's see what happens. All the best for your future, man. Do keep me informed of what happened.
