A Relieving Letter is a formal document issued by an employer to an employee who is leaving the company. The primary purpose of a relieving letter is to accept the formal resignation of an employee. The letter signifies that the employee is released from their job responsibilities and obligations towards the organization.
It is common for a Relieving Letter to include a statement indicating that the employee is leaving the organization on good terms and without any negative impact. The letter may also state that the departing employee has cleared all outstanding dues, returned company property, and fulfilled financial or procedural obligations required by the organization. This document is often required by new employers as part of the onboarding process.
