I have been working in a company for 1 year. The company has a 3-month notice period, but due to personal reasons, I am unable to serve the full 3 months. I have already served 1 month, and I am not absconding. The 1-month notice period is also mentioned in my resignation email. Can the company send me absconding letters after my last working day? Additionally, can they withhold my relieving letter? My salary for the 1 month has already been stopped by the company.

Notice Period and Resignation Terms
If you have mentioned serving a 1-month notice in your resignation, but the contract or appointment letter states a 3-month notice period, that does not fulfill the requirement. It is the employer who needs to accept your resignation and determine the notice period to be served, which can range from 0 to 90 days. Yes, they can stop your salary and adjust it against your notice period. Providing a relieving letter is at the discretion of the organization and needs to be mutually discussed with HR or the employer.
Cite your personal reasons to HR. If they are genuine and serious, they may relieve you smoothly with the necessary documents.
