Is Salary Certificate Compulsory?

Dear Seniors,
Kindly help me out by providing solution to my question,"Is Salary Certificate from previous employer is compulsory to submit instead of Salary Slip for the calculation of Income Tax for financial year in case of a new job?."

Awaiting for your response!
