Legal way to get experience letter?

I worked for 2 months before starting my MBA. Since I left early for higher studies (MBA) and didn’t serve the 15-day notice period, the company marked me as “absconded” and refused to issue an experience or relieving letter. I have my offer letter, employee ID, and salary credit proof as evidence of employment. I want to know if any law applicable for — 👉 whether I can still legally request or claim an experience/relieving letter for the short tenure I worked

Quick Summary

If you left a job before completing your notice period and were subsequently marked as 'absconded', you may face difficulties obtaining an experience or relieving letter. While companies often have the right to refuse such letters in these circumstances, especially for short tenures, it's worth reviewing your appointment letter's terms and conditions. You may still be able to request a letter, though its importance for a brief period of employment might be limited.
