I had completed 1.8 years. After that, I decided to change for new opportunities. I asked HR to adjust one month's basic salary for the notice period, as specified in the notice letter. However, my resignation is still not accepted, with HR stating that my supervisor must accept it. No such condition is specified in the offer letter. I did not join the office for two days during the notice period, and HR warned me that the notice period would be recalculated and disciplinary action would be taken if I failed to join the office the next day. However, I really do not want to join the office to serve the notice period. Please help me?

Attending Office During Notice Period
Better attend the office during the notice period if you want a smooth relieving from the company. Attend the office, resolve issues, request and obtain a relieving letter. Ego is not important at this stage. There is no point in talking about the legality of not issuing an acceptance letter at this stage. Some will say it is legal, and some will say it is illegal. However, you will suffer. Many small companies act in this fashion, and there is no point in discussing the same. Attend the office, request all concerned, satisfy their ego, and obtain a letter of relieving. Join a new company with peace.
If you do not want any relieving letter from them and believe you will be wasting your time and energy, then take a different route.

Understanding the Importance of Notice Periods in HR
As an HR professional, salary doesn't always matter when you offer someone to adjust within the same month. Employees strive to perform their work with discipline. If you choose to leave abruptly today, soon others may follow suit. This may not seem important to you right now as you might be receiving a new job offer or about to join another company. However, fulfilling your monetary responsibilities towards your current company is crucial.
Managing Work Responsibilities
What about your work responsibilities? It's quite simple – if you leave abruptly, it will be challenging to manage the workload in your sudden absence, and the recruitment department will also face pressure. When they struggle, it's certain that you will face consequences too. It's advisable not to argue with them. Instead, try to resolve the issue amicably, provide a proper handover to the authorized person, and inform HR about your career growth plans.
I am confident that they will understand if you give at least half of your notice period and ensure a thorough handover of your tasks. Avoid being absent during your notice period; otherwise, you will be held responsible for any resulting outcomes.

As Sivasankaran has said, let us get into the legalities at this point. Discuss with your employer and obtain a proper relieving letter. You have nearly 2 years of experience, and a proper experience/relieving letter is definitely needed. Do not fight with them to relieve you at the earliest. Follow the procedures.
Even if the new company where you plan to join doesn’t insist on an experience/relieving letter, still don’t leave abruptly from your present employer.

Thanks for the valuable suggestions. When I joined the office, I was advised to withdraw my resignation letter by my account manager. I promptly discussed the situation, but it was not being considered. Later, I was advised to discuss it with HR for further processing. After meeting with HR, I learned that I would be terminated for taking unauthorized leave during the notice period.

You haven't given some basic details.
1. Is this your first job?
2. Do you have any bond? If yes, for what duration?
3. Why don't you want to serve the notice period? When you joined the company, I am sure you would have been aware of this aspect.
4. It's surprising that you didn't seem to have discussed your resignation with your boss - any reason(s)?
5. You take umbrage in the fact that it wasn't mentioned in your offer letter that you need to take your boss's OK for the resignation to be processed by the company. But you don't want to follow the other points/clauses in the very same offer letter - meaning you wish to be choosy? Unfortunately, things don't work this way in any company. Like Atul Khanna mentioned, what about your work responsibilities? And also, what about the work ethics & the company's interests?
Frankly, I think you have to blame yourself for this situation. I can see only two options:
1. Talk to your boss & HR to resolve the issue.
2. If not, take back your resignation & rejoin. Look for other opportunities - and next time you want to resign, better be more careful & professional.
Also, since you have ~2 years of experience, it will surely be tough for you to explain any lack of employment records later in your career - if not immediately, it could be much later too, when it would be too late. Just use the 'Research' facility at the top of this page - you will find dozens of postings of those who faced such problems. All the best.

Resignation Process and Notice Period
Email your resignation letter, requesting to be relieved with a 1-month notice period and to acknowledge it within 5 working days. Failure to acknowledge will be considered implied. Additionally, send the same letter as a hard copy via registered post through the post office. The company will respond positively if the notice period matches what is stated in your appointment letter or bond. If the company does not agree, even with a 1-month notice period, the agreement between you and the company becomes void, and the company can be sued for causing you mental agony.
