Hello Everyone,
I am Surej. Currently, I am working in a small software company in Bangalore. I have been working with this company for the past 1.2 years. I have a bond agreement with the company. The bond period is 2.5 years, and if I breach it, the bond amount is 1.5 lakhs. As part of the bond, I have given my consolidated mark list, which my company is holding. I was a fresher when I joined this company. Therefore, I wanted the job very badly and accepted the bond agreement. I have been offered a better job in an MNC. I wish to take up this offer and proceed to this new company as it is better aligned with my career goals.
I initiated my resignation from the present company by first sending an email to my immediate PL and TL. I have a copy of the email with me. Regarding this, I talked to my PL, and he insisted that I remain in the company and that it's difficult to relieve me. I have discussed the situation with my parents, and they are ready to pay the bond amount. So I told him that I am ready to pay the bond amount as part of the damages that I might cause while leaving the project. Now he told me that there would be a meeting with me on Friday regarding this issue and that I rethink what I want.
I will be giving my official resignation letter in writing during that meeting. The bond agreement that I have signed is very clear as to what happens when I break it. But my PL indicated that it would be difficult to relieve me from the company, and the word that he used was "tough."
My new employer requires my relieving letter from this company. I wish to do things in the right way. Also, I am willing to train a person in my work area. I am trying to be as professional about this as possible. I wish to know what my options are if my company doesn't provide me with a relieving letter. I hope that someone will read this and provide me with some advice.

Dear Surej,
I appreciate the way you are trying to be professional. I think, why don't you try discussing with the HR of the new company you are trying to join about the non-availability of a relieving letter and ask for some other alternatives? He might suggest some other options too.

Hi,
You mentioned that you have signed an agreement for 2.5 years and have also accepted the conditions in case of infringing the terms of the contract. The company will need to consider your benevolence in paying the damage amount in case of a breach. Additionally, you have stated that you are prepared to find a replacement.
I recommend speaking to your immediate supervisor calmly and conveying that from the date of resignation, you are willing to serve at least two weeks in the company. Furthermore, the management will decide whether to discount the money you owe to the company based on the agreement made. I am confident that the management will agree to these terms, and the situation can be resolved easily if handled correctly.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the quick reply and for supporting me. During my HR interview with the new company, HR emphasized the requirement of a relieving letter from my previous company for joining. I am uncertain if they will allow me to join without this document. What options do I have if my present company refuses to provide me with a relieving letter, even if I am willing to pay the bond amount?

I have a similar situation. I am currently working in a private limited IT company. Two days ago, I submitted my resignation. My reporting manager acknowledged my resignation, stating that from his side, there are no issues to relieve me. However, HR is not willing to relieve me. She sent an email saying:
"First of all, we need to find a replacement since you are in a senior position. We want you to properly hand over your knowledge to the new joiner and then leave. We will relieve you only after we find a better and suitable replacement. There are no hard rules written for the notice period as well."
This is the email HR sent. I have to join a new firm since my current company is not confirming my relieving date. Please, somebody help me.
