I gave the interview on 18 Feb 16, and on the same day, they released me the offer fitment mentioning the post and break up of CTC, to which I accepted the same after they asked me for 2 references on the next day. Till now I have not received any formal offer letter from them. I am continuously asking HR and other respective persons, but they are still saying it is pending approval from the business head.
Even though they have not asked for any sort of documents like salary slips or certificates, it's a really do-or-die situation for me as I have already resigned from my previous employer and am not applying anywhere else. I called HR a few days back, and she said the offer letter has been put on hold until the first week of April. Meanwhile, you can search for other options, and if you find something, you can move ahead with your career. She mentioned that once we receive approval for the offer letter, we will contact you.

Dear Sahil,
It appears that you had jumped the gun by tendering a letter of resignation. You had done this on the strength of the "offer fitment" and not the "Offer Letter" per se. When one receives a letter clearly specifying when one should join, then only one should resign. Your anxiety is increasing as the company could leave you in a lurch.
In the last paragraph, you have written, "[Also, I called HR a few days back; she said the offer letter has been put on hold for the first week of April. Meanwhile, you can search for other options. If you get the same, then it's your career. She said once we get approval for the offer letter, we will surely contact you]." This is a clear indication that the company's hiring decision could go against you.
Without getting more anxious, start searching for a job. Now, your liability of serving the notice period has come down. Any company will be more than happy to take on board a candidate who is ready to join at short notice. Turn this adverse situation to your advantage.
All the best!
