Dear Sir/Madam,
Can you please help me?
I am working at XXXX (MNC) company and have submitted my resignation. I sent my resignation letter via email to my manager, but I have not received a reply. I then sent a reminder, requesting acknowledgment and a response. I received an acknowledgment in my Outlook inbox, but one of my managers replied stating that they need to discuss internally before responding. I had given 1 month and 20 days' notice from the date of resignation. However, to date, I have not received any communication from my employer. In the appointment letter, it is mentioned that if an employee decides to resign, the company requires a 3-month notice period, whereas if the employee is terminated by the employer, one month's notice is given.
Now, what should I do?
Additionally, the appointment letter states that if an employee resigns, they are restricted from joining a competitor for up to 3 years. Is there a legal provision in India that allows an employer to prevent an employee from joining a competitor? Can the employer take legal action against the employee for this?
Seniors, please advise on the next steps. I am looking forward to a prompt response.

Hi,
Regards,
This is Prakash. I just saw your post. This was the most interesting case I have ever seen. But, I can give you one suggestion.
If you have a rule where the employer has made a bond that you have to work for three months, just work for three months from the date of your resignation and remind them that you are quitting the job. This way, you will have additional proof of your resignation email. The second bond made by you for the company is that you are not allowed to join any competitor for three years. This may not be beneficial for your career because you cannot work with another company with the same designation. However, I think you can work with a different designation and job type. That's what I believe.
Thank you.

Dear Ratna Prakash,
Firstly, you have made your stand clear that a 3-month notice period is not acceptable and that it should be reduced in case the company requires your services. Having acknowledged the appointment letter/offer letter, it is mandatory to maintain discipline.
Secondly, you were instructed in writing that you will not join any competitor's company for a period of 3 years, and you have duly acknowledged this. It is morally binding on you.
Henceforth, it is advised to clarify the terms & conditions clearly and to seek clarifications regarding the notice period before acknowledging the offer letter.
