      I am working as a Desktop support Engineer at one company got only 7 month experience.I got job at another company.When I said this my company and tried to relieve from my current company they are not ready to relieve me after 7 months.The new company needs relieving letter from my company.And the current company is saying that if you want to join new company you can join but we will not give the relieving letter.I said this situation to the new company they have just extended my day of joining to the company but they need relieving letter from my current company.How to handle this situation?I have given resignation mail to my manager,he is not ready to accept that.The salary at new company is higher than my present company.How to handle this situation?

        Is there some law requiring this there? Or are you under contract to work for a set period? We don't do anything like this in the US.

            Yeah, India is all kinds of strange when it comes to employment law. Doesn't even follow usual Commonwealth law. Let alone 'Murica.

            Explains a lot, to be honest.

              Sounds like this may be a question for a lawyer or other legal council then. We can't really help you with something like this.

                Yeah, I've never heard of such a concept, and you've got people from both the USA and the UK in this thread so far...totally foreign concept to us.

                  I found this
                  http://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/20945/what-is-a-relieving-letter-what-are-the-consequences-of-not-having-one

                  Apparently it's illegal to work more than one job in India.

                  But it's also apparently illegal not to give you one when you request it.

                  http://www.quora.com/Can-a-company-deny-the-relieving-letter-if-the-employee-has-resigned-and-served-the-notice-period-as-per-the-contract

                  http://www.citehr.com/259915-freezing-experience-relieving-letter-ok-per-indian.html

                  I think @scottalanmiller was right about this being a bad company that just likes to control you.

                      Huh? What experience are you getting there expect that they keep telling you to do things the wrong way?

                        @Lakshmana Did you rejected the offer already? If not, I would suggest you try to talk to the HR in the new company about the situation, and may be even ask for advise on how to tackle this situation. If they really need you and interested in getting you on board, I am sure they will help you, or at least give you some tips to tackle this. I know in India there are not much we could do, but its worth a try. Don't just give up. If this new company is good and you think this will benefit you not just income wise but your career as well, try harder

                          For this, only people with direct experience in India will be able to help. I know that in the Philippines there are similar issues where companies work together to hold employees hostage - making them unemployable unless the companies agree to the exchange. It's illegal in any modern country or any seeking to become modern. It's a massive form of corruption but one that you have to be well versed in the local options to know how to handle.

                          The big way out of the problem, of course, is to join a non-Indian company who would prefer people without getting a letter saying that you can leave - because companies will never release the best people. Western companies would never know to even ask for such a thing let alone be willing to get involved in asking for such as if news go out that they were doing that it would hurt their reputations greatly.

                                @RojoLoco I actually did that, but only once, it was either that or transfer to Virgnia, pfft, a C job with a bunch of TCL isn't worth that. I was young then, all other times I've quit, even when mad, I was polite about it.

                                  Never burn your bridges with your job. You may end up going for a dream job where one of your former coworkers has influence.

                                      You can't control someones reaction or their actions.

                                      You can't stay trapped forever in a toxic environment at the risk of hurting someones feelings.
                                      As long as you do your best to keep things civil and aren't all :fu: 😡 :fu:, then that's the best you can do in some situations

                                        Read: There was never a bridge at all. They burned it upon employing you in the first place.

                                          I've only ever basically told an employer they could go **** themselves once, and it was a very small company here in Syracuse. The owner was lying to his clients and was a completely incompetent idiot, so has he's insulting me as I'm just packing up my stuff, I called him out on it. It was quite enjoyable...
