Hi, I received a new job confirmation email from the HR department of my new company after completing all interview rounds and submitting documents. Consequently, I resigned from my old company based on the confirmation letter from HR. However, I have been waiting for the offer letter from HR for the past 7 days, but I have not received it yet. Whenever I call HR, they answer and explain that there are internal staffing issues causing delays. They assure me that I will receive the offer letter soon. I have already informed HR that I am serving my notice period in my current company.
I am feeling a bit nervous about this situation. Should I continue to wait for the offer letter? Can I trust the confirmation letter I received from HR via email? I would appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to proceed.

Understanding Your Job Offer Status
The forum cannot determine the status of your offer with the company. Since you have applied and been interviewed, you must be more aware of the company's stability and reputation than any other member of this forum.
Since the HR department has sent an email from an official email ID, there are fewer chances of them withdrawing the offer, as you have proof of it. However, you cannot take any legal action. Even if you take them to court, they might appoint you, but you will be in a probation period, during which they can terminate your employment without notice at any time, so there is a risk.

Job Offer Confusion and Communication Breakdown
From the talent acquisition mailbox, I received an email on the 14th of November regarding the offer for acceptance after the interview I had on the 11th of November in NOIDA. The HR representatives for the interview were Karan and Anchal, who sent me for the final round. At that time, there were four of us who cleared all the rounds, including me. The manager for the final round was Natraj from Accounts Payable, and we all went through the interview process. Subsequently, we all returned home.
On the 14th of November, we received the offer for acceptance, including myself and another girl who interviewed alongside me. The email requested specific documents such as a birth certificate and a resignation from the current employer. Additionally, the note stated to send the documents by the 14th. Consequently, I resigned from my current employer the following day. After that, there was no further communication.
However, I reached out to Karan through my friend Nikhil Aggarwal, who works at Aon Hewitt. Nikhil confirmed with Karan that I was shortlisted for the Accounts Payable position in finance. Karan mentioned that by the end of the last week, they would send me the offer letter to my email address. Today, they called me and questioned who instructed me to resign. They abruptly stated that this conversation would be our last and abruptly ended the call, mentioning that they had hired me in error, and there were no current openings available.
