Frequently asked questions

Can an employer in India reject a notice buyout?

Availability and approval depend on your employment agreement and company policy. Most contracts stipulate termination by notice OR pay in lieu of notice. Ask HR to confirm the calculation method and approved release date in writing.

Can an employer withhold my relieving letter or experience certificate?

Under Indian corporate precedents, an employer cannot arbitrarily withhold a service certificate or relieving letter if duties were performed and no company dues or assets are outstanding. Always obtain written handover clearance.

Can I adjust earned leave against my notice period?

Leave adjustment is subject to company policy and manager approval. Many Indian companies allow accumulated Earned Leave (EL/Privilege Leave) to offset the final days of notice period, reducing the cash buyout shortfall.
