According to me, you are not under any obligation to give an experience letter or a relieving letter to any employee who has not served the notice period. Both under the labour laws and under the contract act, it is not necessary.
However, some state shop and establishment act require that service certificate be given. You need to see the wording of the sections. In many of them the wording is such that it allows you to hold it back unless the employee has also completed his side of the bargain.
No one who is on the wrong side of the law can legally force you to give the certificate.
About payment of balances, you are required to give the wages due after adjusting any amount of notice pay. And this notice pay is not only basic and DA but gross including all allowances that he would get if he was working during that notice period. You can not adjust more than the notice pay.
Also check the standing orders applicable to you. It may have some specific provisions applicable to such a case.

I think there's a bit of dichotomy in the remarks of Nathrao & Nilesh about the mention reg not issuing Experience / Relieving Letters in the HR Policies.
In so many threads by employees who wanted ways to abscond or avoid serving Notice periods, all of us keep insisting that there's no way they can avoid serving the notice period IF they want their Docs.
And here we are mentioning that it's illegal to mention that clearly in the HR Policy.
There ought to be some way out for HR to preempt such situations in the first place.

There appears to be much inchoate notions regarding the conditions of employment that could be imposed through a contract. First of all, terms of agreement confers only rights and no powers, even if the Government happens to be party to the contract. Hence there cannot be unilateral enforcement; if the other does not comply with the requirements of the contract, the remedy lies in decree from the court or award in arbitration.
The terms and conditions of a contract or a similar instrument do not have the force of law of a statute. Hence the conditions cannot invoked to deny, deprive or curtail the ordinary rights of a person unless there is a statute that sanctions it.
Getting the experience certificate for service rendered is the ordinary right of a past employee. The employer cannot deny or deprive the certificate for collateral considerations. Such an action may amount to steamrolling the rights of the person concerned..

One can safely do the following:- As the law makes its complusary to give the experience letter, why not mention in the releving an dthe experience letter that the reason for employee leaving is resignation and he has not serverd his notice period as per the agreement in the appointment letter.
No employee would like to have this remark in his letters.

Hello, I have a doubt, if the employee is not willing to serve the notice period and is willing to pay his one month salary, that time we have to give experience certificate to him right?
