I was working on a one-year contract as a consultant with a small organization in India. The contract is now coming to an end and I have got a new job that starts after the end date of current contract.
Do I need a relieving letter from the old organization? They have told me that they will take some months to verify that all my files are in place before issuing a letter.
As I'm anyway starting my new job after completing term of previous contract, do I still need a relieving letter?

Hi,
Yes you should for sure.
Relieving cum experience certificate is mandatory irrespective of the category of employment regular or consultant on contract.
What is the proof that you had successfully completed the one year consultant contract?. What ever experience you gained in the one year period how you are going to substantiate with your future employers without proper documentary proof in place ?
Relieving letter confirms your completion of past assignment and experience certificate certify your role with the past employer. So both are important. Some Employers combine both and issue in a same letter.
So please collect the same without fail.
Note : Always scan the relieving / experience certificate letter and keep a copy in your email inbox. Even if you misplace the same it would be easy for you to retrieve
the same through email.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I understand and will collect it.
However, as they are saying they will take time to verify my work before issuing the letter, it may take a few months. I'm just concerned if my new workplace will be okay to wait for this.

Hi
Yes can update the fact with the new employer.
But just wondering why current employer requires one month time to issue relieving cum experience certificate.
