Dear Mr.Saikumar,
Thank you for your valuable guidance on this regard.
My new employer is ready to join me without relieving letter.
I assured the current employer that, other than Rs.130000/-, I am ready to fulfill all other conditions. So I decided to stop going to the current employer after completing the notice period.
Please comment ob my decision.

In my opinion probation period is kept to judge the employee capability , performance before his Confirmation . There is always a clause in regard to notice period of One Month available to both parties during Probation. The Employee has liberty to resign any time during probation with one month notice or salary in lieu of period. But this too as per terms of appointment letter only.
