I have resigned from the services of my existing company on March 11, 2015, via email, stating the actual reason for my inline manager's inhumane behavior. I marked the email to the HR head and MD of the company, not to the inline manager. I am on probation and have been working for 5 months. As per my appointment letter terms, I had mentioned that I would serve the 1-month notice period until April 10, 2015. However, to date, no one has acknowledged in any written form whether my resignation has been accepted or rejected. Today, I found out that my March 2015 salary has been put on hold. When I approached the HR Head, he said that my resignation has been accepted and that I will receive all the money on the F&F date. However, he remained silent when I requested that the company acknowledge my resignation in writing.
I wanted a smooth exit, but they are making things difficult for me. Please guide me on the steps I should take; my last resort will be taking legal action against the company. All I want is to be officially released on April 10, 2015, with all relieving certificates and F&F settlement on the same day.

It is not compulsory for HR to sign the resignation letter as a token of acceptance. However, it is your responsibility to make a photocopy of your resignation letter. You can be relieved after one month's notice to ensure that you have fulfilled your responsibilities properly.
Please ensure a smooth transition without any friction.

Thank you for your comments, but I meant only to address the issue of reverting back to my resignation email. Furthermore, even after serving my notice period, what if the organization doesn't provide me with the necessary release-related documents and my full and final settlement amount?

Resignation Acknowledgment and Full & Final Settlement
There is no need for an acknowledgment email from the HR side if you clearly mention in your resignation letter your one-month notice period and your date of leaving the organization. If they are holding your March '15 salary, it is self-explanatory that they have received and accepted your mail. The matter is clear, and no one is empowered to hold your full and final settlement while they have not found any obligations against you. Therefore, my advice is to complete your notice period silently and then demand your full and final settlement after the completion of the notice period.
