Hi Sir,
I have worked as a trainee at a very famous mnc. After completing 5 months of my training I was affected with Hepatitis B and my medical leave extended way beyond the maximum period allowed for medical leaves. But I was allowed to come back but on the condition that I must undergo my training all over again. I had agreed to it but I fell sick again and had to resign because they were not allowing me leaves. I have a hospital certificate stating i was unwell and could not attend office for a certain period. However after my resignation, they are not giving me my service certificate nor are they sending me any acknowledgement stating the acceptance of my resignation. When i inquired, they said that I\'d have to pay a certain bond penalty for it. What should I do?

You are advised to go through various posts relating to employment bond which is probably a much discussed subject in citehr. In short let me say that if the bond is for reimbursement of training costs incurred by the company, you are bound to pay it. The amount payable, of course, may not be any huge figure but should be limited to the cost actually incurred by the company in giving training to you.
If you have not completed the training, what is the need of a "service" certificate or even a training certificate? And if the company is to give a certificate, can you direct how it should be drafted? NO. If the company gives a certificate that you were engaged as trainee for a period of 1/2/3 years and you discontinued the training after five months and like, what is the use of it? No employer is bound to wait for a trainee or an employee to become fit to resume his training or employment, as the case may be. In your case the company had permitted you to join back and after your joining back, when you ask for further leave on the same ground, the employer will be stuck. The reason may be genuine but if you think from the employer's side, there is nothing wrong even if your service is terminated especially when it takes place during a training or probation period. Therefore, you are advised to have a settlement to avoid payment of training cost.

Sir,
I thank you for your advice. But all I want is an acknowledgement from the company confirming that I have been relieved from services. Without a relieving letter or any acknowledgement from them, I am not able to appear for further interviews. Please help me out.

I don't think that a company who incorporates a bond in an appointment order will give an acknowledgment of your relieving because a relieving letter itself is a document which will relieve one from all the responsibilities. However, you may approach the company and settle the issue.
