Relieving letter

it is very sad to hear after 9 years you company is not reliving means your working and your patience with your ceo was very understandable 

if you have appointment letter and salary slip say yearly one slip means you can make sure join in new company wiht those proof of experiences, as in the hr round you can explain that the company will not leave you because will not give reliving letter because 9 years is not a small word to say 

Dear Diljeet ji,

Advise your friend, after 9 years service, it is better to come out without complications.  Advise him to submit Resignation letter under acknowledgement and also advise him to insist for Service , Releaving letters and for releaving benefits in the Resignation letter.

Tell him to submit resignation.  Ask him to take copy of service agreement and any other document that is relevant and establishes his relationship with organization, before submitting resignation by visiting HR department.  He should not speculate about all these without submitting resignation.  After submitting resignation if the company does not give him relieving letter and experience certificate as feared he can file for interim mandatory injunction from High court/any Civil court which does not take much time. If he loses any opportunity in any organization which he is not able to join because the present company has not issued relieving letter, experience certificate etc., he can also claim compensation/damages in the writ/suit.
