I haven't served 35 days out of 60 days of my notice period and returned the laptop to the company. What will be the last working day of mine that will be reflected in the UAN portal? Or what will be the last working day of mine in Cognizant as my ID is still active? I returned the laptop just 2 days ago.

The last working day will be the day your resignation and you are relieved from service. Though you have returned laptop, you would still continue to be on the rolls till you are finally relieved.

Ya, I know, but I just want to know that I have stopped working from 30th September, and my HR has not contacted me. So, what will be my last working day? I resigned on 9th September, and my last working day was supposed to be 5th November. But as I emailed them that I will not be able to work from 30th September due to some reasons, what will be the last working day they will give me?

Hello Muskaan-Mahendru,
Handing over of company material—in your case, the laptop—is different from the relieving date calculations (which syncs with the last working day (LWD) of the employee). What would the concerned manager do if the employee informs very clearly that he/she would not be able to work from such-and-such date? Run after you? There may be some HR persons who may do that, but don't expect all to do it.
Suggest being realistic and practical—you ought to have discussed and arrived at a mutually agreeable LWD between you, your manager, and HR. That would have even preempted this issue in the first place. If indeed there was a discussion and your manager and/or HR didn't agree with your request for 30th September as the LWD, then you ought to have followed the rules and served until 5th November. Further, please remember that it's you who needs the experience documents for your career records—and quite possibly to be submitted to your next employer too.
I would suggest that you call your HR or your manager and resolve the issue amicably. In the present-day hiring scenario, most HR will treat resignations in a different way—I know of cases where the resigned employees were cajoled with counter offers, etc. But at the same time, they wouldn't like to be taken for granted.
All the best.

Ya, thanks, but I will join the other organization as a fresher so I don't need any experience. I need to join there by 6th October. It's a great offer, and I have no option but to leave my previous employer as they are not giving me an early release.

The issue here is of LWD or an exit date to be put in EPF portal? If it's about the exit date, then no worries; it is the obligation of the principal employer. In case of disputes on this, there are other ways too to resolve the exit date issue with EPF.
Now as an employee, I would always say that every employee should know that he should know the company policy regarding how one is given clearance from the company. Usually, companies issue a relieving letter or a clearance certificate mentioning the last date of working, last salary drawn, dues cleared, assets returned, and many other remarks, which is a documentary proof.
Advice - Go by the policy of the company and get relieved on good notes.
