To add:  My Appointment Letter States: "The Services May Be Terminated By Either Party, Giving Notice In Writing For Three Months Or Payment Of Salary In Lieu Thereof. The Company Reserves The Right Not To Accept Salary In Lieu Of Notice"

As per service matters and rules, the Agreement between the Employer and Employee is the instrument which decides the terms and conditions.

Practically, the law favours the Employee when he is ready to forego  salary of say 3 months , in your case. The Employer cannot evoke anything else including any criminal action for example FIR as the same provision is not included in the Agreement.

At the most, the Empolyer shall harass you by not providing you the certificates which you require at the time of quitting or change over.

Remedies:

- Take the next Employer into confidence.

- Send resignation letter by registered post.

- Offer them 3 months salary deduction thus clubbing their options.

- Go fearlessly;if you stay, they will harass you.

An abnle counsel specialzing in labor-service matters,that has examined all employment related docs, communications and nature of duties can advise you the best.

Your boss has already indicated that he/she won't let you withdraw notice/resignation.

It might be his/her personal decision or corporate policy as many believe that one that has decided to separate is no good for future.

His decision in any case is apointer that you have virtually lost this employment and you will not be getting the requisite letters/certifcates.

You have the option to escalate to good offices above VP/employer/appointing authority/MD/Chair

man etc...................

and offer to tender notice pay/adjust it in FnF statement..............................and indicate advance decision to decline to issue acceptance of resignation and releiving letter shall render you unemployable...............................and bild some irrefutable grounds for future use.

You must mention that NO tasks are pending at your end and within 30days/LWD to whom you should handover the charge.

You must indicate to next employer preferably in writing under proepr acknowledgment that current employer is unwilling to release in 30 days and impresses to serve full notice period and hence it should state in writing that it shall not terminate for the want of relieving letter, that you can supply only if it is supplied to you by employer.

Relievng letter signfies that employee has resigned and nothing is pending towards employee.

All points mentioned are first hand impression and suggestions.

You may choose wisely what suits you, your interest, your future and draft carefully and preferably seek examination by an able counsel.
