Hello, I have been working in a company for the past 2 years. Now that I have resigned. I have to serve a notice period of 2 months. After serving the notice period, my present company is not providing me with the date for relieving. The offer I have in hand is very good, and I want to join them before it expires after 5th June.
So kindly advise me on any ways I can navigate this situation. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Dear Ms. Vivian,
Revolting! Well, I understand fewer companies do this act purposely, but in here I cannot comment as I'm unaware of the exact situation. Didn't your HR give you an acceptance on the resignation? -- If yes, then you are ON. If No, then how did you assume to be in NP?
A normal remedy is to write a letter (in brief) to your HR or your reporting head of the department requesting you to be relieved at the earliest as you've completed serving your notice to the company. Do not forget to take an acknowledgment from the HR as this would be your only proof of acceptance. If nothing works, you need to ask your new employer to extend the DOJ by explaining courteously.
If the situation demands, you need to sway your management with the "Convince or Confuse" theory.
All the best!

Dear Sharmila,
They are not replying to any of my emails regarding the same. When I ask them face to face, they say management hasn't decided about my relieving. I had a talk with my new employer, and they say that they cannot extend the day of joining. My management isn't having a word with me. They are saying come back again tomorrow. The same goes on for a month. Is there any way I can come out of this situation?
Regards,
Vivian

Dear Vivian,
Please send an email to your reporting manager and your HR stating that you will not be able to report beyond 3rd June '13. Since your resignation has already been accepted, kindly request to initiate the relieving formalities on the 3rd. Offer them every support towards the release. Additionally, remember to mark a copy to your personal id so that it remains as a document with you.
Inform your new employers about the relieving date and assure them that you will be joining them on the 6th. If necessary, kindly request their support in obtaining the required relieving documents from the firm.
Hope this information helps. Wish you all the best!

Vivian - It's time for you to handle circumstances a little differently rather than bemoaning about the current employer. Since you have completed the notice period, you have all rights to inquire about your relieving process. Write a letter and an email, elucidating your situation and also mention that you do not have any pending work to complete. Address these to the HR, HOD, and Management personnel, updating them that your NP has been served and requesting them to relieve you with the F&F at the earliest. Keep a copy marked to your personal email for any further correspondence.
Wait for a day and if you do not receive any response, share the email copy with the New Employer (mentioning that you are being bullied by the management) seeking their approval to join as usual. See what they have to say. If the present employer does not respond to your case, you may seek the labor commissioner's office with all the necessary documents (appointment letter, resignation letter, and a copy of the email enquiring about relieving). An application from a conciliation officer can help solve all your problems. This method is modest, and employees should follow the proper procedure for a better future.
I understand that the new employer will review the situation before proceeding further in this process. Before all this, make sure to settle things with your new company and then take the next step. Self-confidence should be your biggest tool.
