Hello Friends, I have a doubt regarding relieving and exit formalities. I have 3.6 years of IT experience, and as per company norms, the notice period is 30 days. I submitted my resignation to my manager and HR. They asked me to serve the notice period, which is 30 days. I began working during the notice period, but my manager and HR didn’t inform me of the relieving date and exit formalities. I completed my notice period and asked them about the relieving date. After numerous emails and oral conversations, I received the same reply from my HR and Manager: “Please wait, we will check and update you.” In the meantime, I received an offer from a CMM Level 4 Company. I informed my HR and manager about this offer and asked them to relieve me. They simply told me to leave that offer and advised me to work for another 2 months. I didn’t receive my salary either. I described the situation to the HR of the new company. He asked me to bring bank statements, P.F. No, and a resignation copy email and advised me to join immediately. After completing my notice period, I joined the new company. My old HR is refusing to provide the relieving letter and service certificate. In my new company, there is no issue. My doubts are:
1. Will this incident disqualify me from attending interviews at TCS, IBM?
2. What about onsite opportunities?
Please help me; I am very confused.

Hi Arul,
Yes, it will harm your professional career. I recommend requesting a relieving letter from your old company's HR immediately. If they are causing any problems, you can consult a union or the labor department and explain the issues you are facing with your employer.

Hi Arul,
In case there is no shortage from your end, your old company cannot hold your exit letters legally. You can approach the labor commission and send them a legal notice. I have 9 years of experience in IT companies, and this pretty well works.

As per certified standing orders/model standing orders, it is your right to receive the experience certificate, which will be required by you in due course. I am sorry to say that most IT companies do not have a professional approach. Additionally, their HR departments lack qualified workforces. It is shameful on the part of HR when they do not even follow the laws of the land.
Please send a legal notice through an advocate regarding your salary and experience letter. If they do not comply after receiving the legal notice, consider filing a case in civil court. The labor court may not entertain your case as you do not fall under the definition of a workman.
Thank you.
