Even after serving three long months of notice period, asking to remain or stay back is unfair.

There is no practical solution for this though there are legal solutions. But if you take the latter one, ie, legal solution, you may lose your career. Therefore, it is always good if you convince the reporting officer and get relieved. The HR Manager is only a glorified clerk always. He cannot take an independent decision unless he takes and uses his power. He should have the authority to say that "his" employee has completed the notice period of three months (which is again a long period as far as a small company of less than 100 employees is concerned) and it would be harmful if we don't relieve the employee who should have committed to join another organisation. He should have the courage to say that forcing an employee to remain in service after his normal notice period would send a wrong message about the company and its culture. Therefore, you should talk to the HR and while talking you can also highlight the responsibilities of the HR in creating an fair image in the minds of employees currently working and those who may join the company in future. If anybody publishes the attitude of the RO in social media, that will remain there and any person intending to join the company will take a back and rethink. If required, you can approach the higher officials to whom your RO reports.

Very difficult situation you are in. On the one hand, you have completed the notice period on 29th Sept., on the other hand, your relieving is held up. The employer definitely has no legal right to hold your relieving and delay the full and final settlement beyond the notice period. Yet, if the employer chooses to act nasty, then the employee has very few effective options.

No Employer is entitled to deny or hold Experience Letter (Service Certificate in legal terms) of an Employee or former employee. If the employee demands such an experience certificate during or after the term of employment, the organization is BOUND to issue one. To cite the labour law, 2J(3) of Kerala Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961 mandates that the employer shall issue the service certificate in Form BE, within seven days from the receipt of such a request from the employee (every state has its own S&CE Act, and they will have similar provisions).
