No Relieving Letter Is Issued, Although Service Certificate Is Given ,TCS

I have received a service certificate from the company but not the relieving letter. Should I include that experience in my resume for my next interview? The company is reluctant to provide me with the relieving letter. Is it worthwhile to have such a service certificate? The company is TCS, and I have settled all dues in full and final. I did not serve the notice period as I had to leave abruptly due to health reasons. They claim my status has been updated to absconding, and only after that, the resignation letter was obtained. Is this a valid reason? Is there a way to obtain the relieving letter? Please help! Thanks.

Also, the reason for separation is written as abandonment in the service certificate. What does that mean?

Dear Member,

Please clear it with your HR in TCS. A Service Certificate that mentions 'Abscond/Terminated' is barely of any use. You have to convince your new employers a lot. Why take that pain?

Write a letter to the HR in TCS, with all the copies to the financial clearance and claim a relieving letter. If they had taken the money for the settlement, they need to issue the letter too. Offer all your support and speak to the highest authority, stating the health concern with proof. Request on humanity ground for a relieving letter, as it will impact your career.

However, on the flip side, if you can explain all this to your new employer and if you are getting hired by a genuine employer, who knows how these firms work, you would barely need the document.

Large MNCs stress a lot on perfect documentation, especially for release and background verification. Hence if you plan to work with such firms, you better escalate it to the Head of HR and request on humanity grounds.

Wish you all the best!

I completely agree with (Cite Contribution). You should share all the required documents with the highest authority in TCS as well as your new employer. If TCS is strict about providing you with the letters, I am confident that your new employer will consider the same.

All the best!!!

Hi,

I totally agree with (Cite Contribution) and Monica here. Additionally, when writing an email to TCS, make sure to keep your current employer's Head of Department or HR higher authority (with permission) in the loop for transparency, as this concerns your career.

All the best!
