Hi all,
I've tried to give quick info below regarding my organization switch details rather than writing as a story.
Previous Employer: X
Resignation Date: 04 December 2020
Last Date: 03 March 2021
Notice Period: 90 Days
Next/Current Employer: Y
Joining Date: 09 March 2021
So as per the above, when I dropped the resignation mail, I decided to serve the full notice period of 90 days. However, I received a resignation acceptance mail from the project-level HR around 2 months later but with the wrong date (25 December 2020), resulting in my last working date being 24 March 2021.
This discrepancy was due to some mistake in data entry or something done by my manager at the system level, which he later explained and acknowledged to the project-level HR that 04 December 2020 is my actual resignation date. After much follow-up, the project-level HR accepted and informed the next level HR (Separation HR - who handles FFS and so on) that 4th December could be my actual resignation date.
I have now joined the new employer, and they have given me time to submit my Official Relieving Letter.
However, the Separation HR of my previous employer is requesting a 'Revised' Resignation Acceptance mail from my Project-Level HR. Yet, the project-level HR is still providing the old acknowledgment mail with the same mistaken dates. Now, my Separation HR is indicating that if the project-level HR fails to provide the revised resignation acceptance mail, he/she would proceed with the mistaken dates itself, which may reflect in the Official Relieving and Experience Letters (24 March 2021).
This situation could lead to a 'Dual Employment' scenario when I present my Official Relieving Letter to my new employer. How should I proceed further?
P.S: I have informed the HR recruiter of my new organization about this, and he/she has advised me to wait and see how it unfolds. I also have the email chain where they agreed 03 March 2021 as my release date. Despite my efforts to maintain communication with my project-level HR, the response from him/her has not been quite proper or timely from the beginning.
Could someone please suggest how to proceed if the situation does not end in my favor?

I do not see a problem. You have been officially relieved after completing the notice period. You have the original mail with the trail that they accepted your last working day. It will not really matter to the new company whether you did 90 days or 60 days as long as you were relieved after completing your notice. It would be stupid of the previous company to give you a relieving date that is 20 days later because that will entitle you to payment of salary for the period actually. Anyway, I don't think your new company is going to be stupid either in saying you cannot join because the notice period is not over. So don't worry about it too much.
