Can relieved employee get a negative remark on his relieving letter when he/she was relieved during an ongoing investigation?
Your question is not clear, but to the extent I understand, an employer can show the reason for relieving in the relieving letter only after the investigation/ enquiry is over. Normally, an employee will be relieved from duties after the inquiry is over and if he is found guilty of the charges, naturally, the relieving letter would contain the reason for relieving as dismissal/ discharge as recommended by the disciplinary committee/ authority. But if the enquiry is not over, the employer should not show any reason and if any negative comment is put as reason for relieving the order will become a stigmatic order. That is not permitted.

This is an important thing! Maintaining the process's fairness and transparency is crucial. If the investigation is still ongoing (slope game), an employee shouldn't have any unfavorable comments on their letter of release because this could unfairly impact their chances of finding work in the future. These guidelines must be followed by employers in order to preserve a fair workplace. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention!
