Dear Client
There is no general legal requirement that an employer must issue a relieving letter after termination. If the employer has already issued a service certificate, it may satisfy its obligation depending on your employment contract and the company's policies.
If the remarks in the termination letter are false, defamatory, or unsupported by facts and are adversely affecting your future employment, you may seek their withdrawal or correction through a legal notice. You may also request the employer to issue a neutral separation letter, though they are not legally bound to do so unless required by contract or applicable service rules.
You may consult a local lawyer or advocate to examine your employment documents and advise on the appropriate legal remedy.
