I was working with a car dealership in corporate sales. I was asked to resign as I did not perform well there. I did so, and now I have joined a new company a few days ago. My previous employer is not willing to give me my relieving and experience letters, stating that since they asked me to resign and were not satisfied with my performance, they can't provide me with both documents. However, my current employer is asking for the same. I was not informed about this by HR or my immediate boss. Please suggest what needs to be done in this situation.

Hi Apoorva,
Please speak with your former HR as there are no other options available. You should have completed all the formalities before you left the organization. Try to resolve the issue by requesting their assistance. Avoid retaliating, as they may decide to issue you a termination letter.

Obtaining a Relieving Letter After Resignation
If underperformance was the reason you were asked to resign (i.e., you resigned of your own accord and your services were not terminated by the employer), then the employer is obligated to issue a relieving letter provided:
a) There is no inquiry of fraud or similar issues pending against you.
b) You completed all exit-related formalities before leaving the organization.
If everything is in order and the relieving letter is still being denied to you, then you should initiate legal proceedings against the HR Head of the organization.
