Being in Hr profession for last 4 years I believe one should have all the documents in black & White. No verbal confirmation stand good in court of law nor for any future records.

Dear Amit,
No, it is not mandatory, but to be on the safer side, it would be better if it is written. Suppose any issue arises in the future, then verbal confirmation will not hold ground. When you are submitting your resignation in writing, why not ask for written acceptance of it? What's wrong with that? Go for written acceptance...

Resignation has to be given in writing. Acceptance of resignation also has to be in writing.
In the interest of the employee who resigned, settle all dues and obtain a relieving order and a no-due certificate from the employer. An employment certificate will also be helpful in the future.
