Issued at full-and-final settlement; pulls notice-period details and last working day from the exit flow. Pairs with our F&F estimator so the numbers match.

On or shortly after the last working day, alongside the experience letter and the full-and-final settlement statement. All three documents are typically issued in a single packet, often within seven working days.
Withholding the relieving letter as a negotiation lever is a common but counterproductive practice. It strains the relationship and creates dispute exposure.
Three things: that the employee has been formally relieved, that all dues have been settled, and that no obligations remain on either side. The third element is the legally meaningful one and should be drafted carefully.
If the F&F is still being computed, the relieving letter can reference that the F&F is in progress and will follow within a specified window. Avoid issuing a relieving letter that contradicts the F&F numbers.
Run the F&F estimator first to compute the final numbers. Then issue the relieving letter referencing those numbers. This sequence avoids the common bug where the letter is issued before the math is done.
Ordering matters: notice pay, leave encashment, gratuity, recoveries, statutory deductions. Get them in that order or the TDS treatment will be wrong.
It can, but the letter should explicitly state that the F&F is in progress and the no-dues confirmation is conditional on its completion. Otherwise, wait until the F&F is finalised.
The recoveries are factored into the F&F statement. If a balance remains owing after F&F, the letter should state the obligation rather than make a clean no-dues claim.
Not by statute, but it is nearly universal practice and almost always required by the next employer for verification. Issue it promptly to avoid friction for the ex-employee.
The two are issued together at exit. The relieving letter formally ends the relationship; the experience letter is the verifiable record of tenure. See our experience letter generator for the companion artefact.
