What you can do

  1. Ask HR in writing for your relieving and experience letters, and attach your resignation acceptance and handover proof.
  2. Keep your resignation email, the acceptance and your last payslip. New employers often accept these while the letter is pending.
  3. If the letter is held back to force a payment, a lawyer's notice or a complaint to your state labour department can help.
