I was on the payroll of a third-party organization for banking clients in Mumbai. I shifted from Pune to Mumbai and joined the client office in April 2024. However, due to an unforeseen situation where my grandfather is blind, I hired a caretaker for him. Unfortunately, the caretaker decided to quit and move back to his village, which led me to quit my job and return to Pune immediately. When I contacted HR, they asked me to complete a 2-month notice period.
Given the emergency, I informed them that I couldn't serve any notice period, to which they agreed. I sent a formal email to both the third party and the client regarding my resignation, and they accepted it. However, now when requesting a relieving letter, HR is not providing me with one. Would the offer letter and the confirmation receipt of my resignation suffice as documents during background verification when I join a new company?

In the absence of relieving letter these two documents may be shown as proof of having worked in an establishment. But an offer letter is not a solid proof of employment.

Dear Friend,
An offer letter and the confirmation receipt of my resignation don't suffice, as the next employer is always interested in knowing whether the employee joining them is properly relieved or not. In simple words, it shows the behavior/conduct of the employee during employment.
To substantiate your employment history, the employee may need the following documents:
1) Bank Statement showing salary credits
2) EPF Contribution Statement
3) Experience Letter
4) Relieving Letter or No Objection Certificate (NOC), if provided
5) Offer Letter or Joining Letter
6) Full and Final Settlement
Following this, you can justify to the next employer the non-issuance of a Relieving Letter.
