What is a Relieving Letter?
A relieving letter is a formal notice that is issued to an employee when they leave their place of work. It is a formality that takes place between the employer and the employee where they ensure that the employee is in fact leaving the particular institution and that they don’t have any dues to pay to the organisation.

What is the difference between relieving letter and experience letter?
With a relieving letter, the HR department of an organisation states that they accept the resignation of the employee, notes the final date of employment, and states that the employee has no dues left with the organisation.
Whereas with an experience letter, the HR department of an organization mentions that the employee indeed has experience of working at the organisation for the defined tenure. It is a way of conveying to the next employer that the employee has proof of experience.

Is relieving letter compulsory?
Having a relieving letter from the last employer is not entirely compulsory. Where some organisations will not ask for this letter, there are some that might not move ahead with your employment without one. The organisations that ask for a relieving letter want to either make sure that the employee is no longer a part of their old establishment or that they have completed all formalities with the last employer.
