The relieving letter should be issued the same day you are going to leave the company. If the company does not issue the relieving letter it means that your resignation is not accepted and you are still an employee of that company until the company issues the relieving letter.

If the terms and conditions of the agreement (as mutually agreed in the form of an appointment order) contains a clause like this “Employer is not liable to issue relieving and experience letters if employee serve no proper notice or abscond from work place.”, employer may deny relieving and experience letters.

In some cases, employer may issue relieving letter at a later stage with special mention about not serving notice period or absconding incident. Also in such cases, employer may deny assistance to back ground verification agencies as well.
