Actually, I am in trouble. I stopped working at my previous company since my salary was due for 3 months. However, the mistake I made was that I didn't send them any formal resignation letter. So, they took advantage and sent me a termination letter intentionally. At that time, I didn't bother much since I had already secured a job in my current company. But now, when I am attending interviews, they are asking for the release letter, experience certificate, or payslip from my previous company, which I don't have. I tried to contact my previous company, but now they are charging INR 50,000 for these documents. What can I do now?

You should take this as a lesson and don't repeat these types of mistakes again in the future. Small things will backstab you.
Go and meet them and compromise with them. You may say that you will support them in their projects or provide training for their freshers, etc., or you can demand three months' pending salary from them. Come to a joint settlement and get a service certificate in hand before returning home. Just pay Rs. 10k if required to get things done. You can earn that later.

Thanks STEPHEN_7 for your advice.As you mentioned I have already talked to them but they made it clear to me that that they will give those certificates only if I pay them 50K otherwise not.

Actually, during these two years, I also used to do some work for my friend's company. But I don't have any official letters. So instead of showing this company's experience, can I show the experience of my friend's company? In that case, I can get all the documents from him, and I have also actually worked for him. So if I write that experience (friend's company) in my CV, then in the background checks, will the name of the other company be revealed, and will my experience be treated as fake?
