Company forcing to serve the notice period for more days


21-Aug-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I am working in a Private Bank in Pune. I have recently put in my resignation and asked the HR for early relieving. My notice period is 90 days and I am serving 77 days which includes 6 days of my leave for which they have clearly said that money will be deducted from the salary. As per the service agreement they had stated that employee has to serve the 3 months notice period or 3 months basic pay has to be paid. Upon asking the HR team, they are quoting that, the policies have been changed and employee has to serve the notice period only and he/she can't leave, money won't suffice for the non fulfillment of notice period condition. They said, relieving letter won't be issued if notice period is not served. The have put me in a really difficult situation, I am joining a new organization on 5-11-2018 and they can't extend the joining date. The completion of notice period as per the policy is 14-11-2018 and I have asked to be relieved on 01-11-2018. In such a case I am not sure what to

Try to amicably solve the issue with the HRs and managers. If it doesn't resolve then you need not worry, join the new company on the expected date and before you join there give a leave application to the previous employer. They cannot hold your relieving letter.

This is my response to you:
1. Cite medical conditions for not attending the current office;
2. Go to the new organisation and start attending the same;
3. If the new organisation is going to create problems then approach your old office and send them a legal notice;
4. Tell them you want to buy out your notice period;
5. Ask them to immediately submit your relieving letter otherwise your new job will be compromised;
6. Take legal steps as method of last resort and file complaint to the labour court.
