I have resigned from a company in August 2018, after taking a leave for about 2 months due to personal reasons. When I had resigned, I had no job activity pending on me as I had been on a leave and the job didn't require transition. Based on the discussion with my manager and the HR, I was relieved the same day from the company on return from my leave.
I was informed after a month that I have to pay dues for the shortage of notice period and then to collect the relieving documents. As I have changed course, I am in no need to obtain the relieving documents. But now, the company has sent me a mail that they are going to proceed legally to collect the dues. Is it really mandatory for me to pay it - as I find that I am not dependent on the documents and I have not created a loss for the company (say project loss or revenue loss). Please advise.

Hi,
The notice period depends on your employment terms. Some companies follow a one-month notice while others follow a three-month notice. Please check your appointment order.
If you have any pending dues to be received from your past employer, you can request them to adjust the same towards the shortfall in the notice period. If not, visit your HR in person, discuss it with him/her, and close it amicably to get properly relieved.
You may not require the relieving certificate based on the current scenario. However, in the future, the situation may change, and you may be required to submit proof of past employment to your future employer. If you leave this issue unattended, your past employer may proceed with disciplinary proceedings, warning/termination processes, resulting in your personal file being closed with remarks such as absconded/unauthorized, which will not be favorable for you.
