poor chap
six months notice periods' requirement is thoughroughly unheard thing.
the issue before him are
first = whether he is a person who fights? if yes then he can go to courts against his current employer. while doing so, he has to keep in mind, how this move will be taken there at his new place, they may make negetive opinion about him. as such he should discuss the issue of litigation beforehand and proceed.
else= if he is a meek and submissive kind of person, then frequent correspondance with his current employer for acceptance of resignation and at a later stage producing copy those correspondances to his new employer may help. he may talk to the top bosses in his current company (i presume it must be some small time establishment) for a way out.
see, one has to help himself, thats the only way out. on such forums as these people can give only suggestions. what happens in such situation is something which only those know who FACE it.

Dear Yeas,
First you go with your term of employment, what is it say about notice period by either party, employer cant compel to staying to employes beyond the notice period, if you are under notice period and you want releve and your employer is not relieveing you,in that condition you can do one thing, just you send your Resignation through speed post as well as UPC with relieving date and ask him to full&final settlement on it.
Thanks &Regds

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all of you who have replied and given suggestions. My friend has decided to knock all doors of his company before sending the resignation by registered post as suggested by many. Some non IT firms have this 6 months notice period when the employee reaches managerial level but many will accept for the buy out option, which is not happening for him. Will let you all know if any improvements are there.
Thanks and Regards

Yash, thanks for your update. It is a learning for all HRs to stop such practices in their organizations by convinsing the authorities...persistent efforts would be required :) Regards, Rahul

Hi everyone
My friend's future employer has agreed for the submission of acceptance letter at the time of joining and for the buy out also.
I just want to know one thing. Can HR of his current employer can be of any help to him in getting the letter ?. Or is it in the hands of the superior only ?. My friend has not yet approached his HR as his superior does not want him to do that.
Need your suggestions.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Yash,
The person who had resigned might have marked a CC/BCC to his/her own mail_id.This is the usual practice that everybody does.In case if the person has handed over a hard copy,then he is supposed to take the acknowledgement of submitting the hardcopy,though it is not accepted then.That acknowledgement will be considered as just submission of resignation.
The employer is supposed to releive the employee after the successfull completion of notice period.But the notice period clock starts,on acceptance of resignation.
So,the priority for your friend would be to have the resignation acceptance first.Unless he gets his resignation acceptance,he will not be able to chase against the protocols.
And some organizations do have the policy of giving the releiving letter after a specific period of time,i.e, 30 Days/45 Days/60 Days after serving the notice period.And they do execute this policy fairly.
In such cases,future employer do consider the resignation acceptance and ask the employee to join according to the date mentioned in the offer letter.
I request our seniors,to correct me if i'm mistaken to guide you over this issue.
