Dear all, I have joined my current company as a software engineer with a 3-year bond. After completing my bond period, I asked my MD for a relieving. He offered me that if I extend my bond up to 6 months, he'll hike my salary to 100%. However, I don't want to continue in the company and asked for relieving on 01-06-2014. He accepted and promised me that I can be relieved from the company on 15-08-2014. He then sent me out of India and used me to visit all clients for the same 6 months with my old salary, but I don't want to ask him for a hike. I want to leave this company. So, after 6 months, I returned to the office from clients and met my MD. He again asked me that I should be here for the next 1 month, and he'll hike my salary to 100%, and I am still here. He openly said that if I want to be relieved, I should go. I shouldn't expect an experience letter and relieving letter from him.
What Can I Do?
My friend suggested sending a resignation letter via registered post.
Therefore, I have:
1. Offer letter from my current company
2. Bond papers
3. Bank statements
4. Employee number
5. Registered post acknowledgment of my resignation letter
With the above documents, can I move to some other companies if I receive any offers?
Please guide me on how to overcome this situation.
Thanks in advance.

I joined on 02-05-2010, and my bond period ended on 02-05-2014.
Sorry.
He again asked me, "You should be here for the next 1 year, and I'll hike your salary by 100%, and still, I'm here." He openly said, "If you want to leave, go. Don't expect an experience letter and relieving letter from me."

So, you have a choice?
Your company is unprofessional in its approach by not relieving you upon resignation and not keeping the promise of a higher salary. If you get a job offer, you should leave. Speak to the HR of the new company and inform them that you will not be receiving a relieving letter. If they are okay with it, then you can make the move.

If HR accept me without relieving letter, what will happen during background verification? Because my current company will not give reference for me.

Addressing Employment Challenges with a New Company
Both of the above are problems. But for that reason alone, will you continue to work forever with your current company? If yes, then this thread has no further meaning.
You will need to explain to the HR in the new company that the company you were working for is unprofessional and did not provide a relieving letter and that it holds a grudge against you. You can prove your working period with them by other means. If the HR is not willing to accept that, then don't join such a company.
You don't really have a choice then.

Addressing Employer Influence and Resignation Steps
Your present employer is exercising undue influence on you by holding back certain documents and posing a potential danger point by providing a poor reference. This aspect will need to be communicated to the new employer during the initial stages, clearly and directly.
I recommend sending a detailed, yet polite letter to your employer to formally give notice of your intention to quit. Make sure to document all pending work and complete as much as possible before leaving. Adhere to the notice period as per your existing company policy.
When resigning, surrender all company property in writing and in the presence of witnesses. Safely preserve any related correspondence from the company. Additionally, continue your job search efforts and do not succumb to pressure from an employer whose actions seem unethical and manipulative.
Regards.

Thank you for your valuable replies. I am going to send a resignation email and leave the company without a relieving letter. I have no other option but to explain in detail with proof to my new employer.

Shibumass,
That appears to be the only way out. But ensure there are no dues from your side to the company, and no property of the company whatsoever is held by you. Return it under written documentation duly acknowledged so that later on the company does not have any issues to threaten your happiness. Send copies of your letter to higher management, HR, and your manager as well.
Best of luck.
