Difference between release order and acceptance of resignation

As per the terms and conditions of appointment letter, a resignation letter is served with 30 days notice period and the same is accepted by email with communication by email about release and no further salary going forward.

However, Maharashtra based company will issue Release Order after 50 days-which may delay joining other company. During this 50 days, there is no reporting to old company-no salary-absence of release order may restrict joining a new company-where offer letter is already accepted.

What is your well though advice?

Thanks in advance

Show the appointment letter to a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of terms and conditions envisaged / accepted as the facts posted by you are impractical and unbelievable .

If the previous company's terms say that you have to serve 50 days which was accepted by you at the time of joining then you cannot agitate that now, you may have to request the new company to defer your joining date accordingly.

In my understanding, the acceptance of resignation amounts to release, unless such acceptance itself in conditional and there has been no cessation of employer-employee relation.
