I was working with this company (X) for 4.5 years. I had to leave this company as no more work was coming in its way and it was firing people, so people were worried about their job security. I had to join this company (Y) as i did not have any other option.The company (X) was making the employees sign an affidavit forcefully to get the relieving letter. The affidavit says that the employees cannot join the company (Y) till 1.5 years after leaving (X). But I was having no other option but to join company (Y), so i joined this company (Y)without releiving letter. Now I had left this company (Y) and had joined company (Z).
1. Is relieving letter is mandatory from company (X) for background verification. I had given resignation acceptance mail in lieu of relieving letter. Will that work?
2. I had informed my recruiter about relieving letter not present during the interview and told that I can give resignation acceptance mail from the company in lieu of relieving letter.
3. I had given all my salary proofs, ITR forms, resignation acceptance mail as support of my employment with company (X).
Also I had not served the notice period in company (X). There was 2 months’ notice period but I had served only one month notice period. As they were not giving salaries to the employees who were going without relieving letter.
What could be the consequences if my background verification is not completed?
