I am writing to seek advice which can make or break me. I can explain the full story; however, to cut things short - I worked with an IT company/MNC for 6 months and resigned. However, due to certain reasons, I was not in a position to serve the notice period. I discussed the same with my manager, to which he did not agree. Hence, I left the company by writing an email to my manager.
After long email chains with HR, I received the letter of termination from the company. I checked if I can pay for the shortfall of the notice period, to which they said I have to pay for the number of days of the shortfall as per my Gross CTC.
Now, I want to join other companies which may or may not be an MNC. All the people I am approaching are saying, "you should have a relieving letter."
Questions and Concerns
First thing, I want to understand is if I have absconded from the company?
Secondly, I know I have made a mistake by not serving the complete notice period. However, is this such a big mistake that I cannot get a job offer from any MNC now? Due to this fear, I have stopped applying to companies now.
Am I blacklisted or can be blacklisted?
Some said to remove the experience of the company from the resume. If I do that, the gap now becomes 1 year as I joined a course and did my certification.
Please suggest.

The simple and straightforward solution is to make a settlement with your last company. Pay the dues in part and obtain a relieving letter rather than indulging in yet another manipulation and blunder.

Thank you for replying. The company has already issued a termination letter. Yesterday, I spoke with one of the HR personnel who was very busy and said they can't provide any additional letter even if I pay the amount.

Understanding Termination and Moving Forward
Termination letters can be a relief in themselves. Beforehand, check the reason mentioned in the termination letter, whether it is absconding or misconduct.
Since they have terminated you and it has been duly accepted by you, the only way is to explain the facts and circumstances to the new employer. If they agree, then there is no problem.
It is not that absconders are not hired at all. If you have the skills that an employer requires, then you can be hired. However, the employer will always keep an eye on you; that's it.
