Frequently asked questions
Is an experience letter the same as a relieving letter?
No. An experience letter confirms the duration of employment and the role held, while a relieving letter formally releases an employee from their duties on a specific date. Many organisations issue both documents. A combined letter is also common.
Can an experience letter be issued on plain paper?
Technically yes, but to be credible it should be on company letterhead with the HR head's or authorized signatory's signature and the company seal. Prospective employers and background verification agencies look for these elements.
What if my employer refuses to give an experience letter?
Issuing an experience letter upon separation is standard practice and often a legal obligation under labour law. If your employer refuses, you can write a formal request citing company policy, escalate to HR leadership, or as a last resort, approach a labour commissioner.
How long does it take to get an experience letter after resignation?
Most companies issue the experience letter on the last working day or within a week of separation. Some may take up to 30 days. It is good practice to request it formally in writing during your notice period.
Can the experience letter be sent via email?
Yes. Many companies send digitally signed experience letters via email in PDF format. These are valid for most purposes. For government applications, a physically signed and sealed letter may be preferred.
