Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Is a relieving letter different from an experience letter?+

Yes, a relieving letter confirms separation, last working day and completion of duties, whereas an experience letter focuses on confirming tenure, designation and responsibilities; many employers issue both documents at exit.

Do we have to mention the reason for exit in the relieving letter?+

Not necessarily; most organisations use neutral language and may mention whether the exit is via resignation or other modes without going into detailed reasons, which are usually kept in internal records.

When should the relieving letter be issued?+

Good practice is to issue it on or shortly after the last working day, once the employee has completed handover and basic exit formalities, even if financial settlement is processed later.

Can this template handle exits other than resignation?+

Yes, the exit type field drives conditional wording for resignation, termination, redundancy or contract completion, so you can maintain clear and consistent language for all exit modes.

Should we print the relieving letter on letterhead?+

Yes, in India relieving letters are typically on official company letterhead or a digitally signed PDF derived from the letterhead template to support authenticity during background checks.
