Employer not accepting resignation and not releasing

I have a notice period of 1 month with my current employer (US Based startup newly started in India) and I have resigned from my company and expecting to get released by next 1 month after serving due 1 month notice period.
My employer is not accepting my resignation and not giving final release date .
I checked the offer letter and see that one of the clauses of termination is that "Notwithstanding anything aforesaid termination by you shall be subject to the satisfactory completion of all your existing duties, obligations and projects."
My question is, can the company delay the acceptance of my resignation and my subsequest release using the above clause.??

Can I seek legal recourse against the company for not releasing on time.

How to get release properly in this case??

Employer  have assigned some tasks to me to me and are ready to release me only when it is complete .The completion of the task they assessed will take 1.5 months  even though my notice period ends in next 15 days.They are stating this clause as valid to hold me back in offer letter.

"Notwithstanding anything aforesaid termination by you shall be subject to the satisfactory completion of all your existing duties, obligations and projects."

You have not replied pointwise to all points.

You may also post the extract of the clause on Termination/Notice/resignation.

Does employer also agree to grant indefinite time with wages  till employee has found suitable employment in case the termination is initiated by employer.
