You may send your formal resignation notice with clear 60 days, but with assurance that you are ready to pay for the period of 30 days, as short of notice period, the amount to be deposited for which may be intimated by the management. Wait for the written response from the management. If no response is received within a few days, just start reminding in writing every 10-15 days to intimate you about the decision of the management.

Joined in the new assignment if they accept you without relieving. Settlment of terminal benefits will be a matter of dispute, which you can think of solving the problem if it really arises.

This is all your own making. You know that you need to give 90 days notice period to the existing employer. Then how can you accept the condition to join within 60 days. Are you not supposed to tell your new employer that you need minimum 90 days to join from the date of their offer letter by you?
Having committed the basic mistake, now approach your new employer whether they will grant you 30 more days to join, or in the alternative whether they will accept you into the job without relieving letter from your previous employer.
Do accordingly. Keep the advice of Mr. P.S.Dhingra also in view.
