The private sector in the job industry is yet to be regularised by any Central or State Act and hence it can act on its own wish or caprice.
Generally when the employee breaches any terms of the job contract or it does not wish to let the employee leave the company, it neglects to give such relieving letter.

However , nothing to worry as most of the companies knows these things and hence absence of any relieving letter does not pose any hindrance to join new company if the new company is of course so willing.

if your employer is not giving relieving letter although you have served the notice period inform your prospective employer . you cna give an affidavit that no dues are payable to your ex employer and you have served the notice period

If the threat of the company is unfounded then you can file complaint u/s 506 IPC.

Sir. the ex company HR personnel are discussing with the new company HR personnel that though the employee has give resignation letter we have not received the report regarding his duity compliance. But the fact is that the ex company is delaying the process and the employee is willing to hand over the document and other details to company.

Due to which the new company is constantly arguing with the employee to clear the matter as it is feared about the litigation procedure.

u can go to labour court against the management of the company, if u r on a correct side..
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 17 October 2011
Heena! Employee has already been selected for subsequent job and if he starts litigation which may take even more than 5 years, how shall he survive?

You should make a written representation through registered posts sending all documents in your hand necessary for further action of your previous employer company and should pray to settle the matter within a stipulated time and also send its one copy to your new employer failing which serve a legal notice through your lawyer and CMD of your previous employer. I hope, the matter shall be got resolved within a week.
