Hi All,
I have worked in a company and got terminated for reason 1. I had shown a fake counteroffer for a higher salary. After joining, I gave money to the person who had interviewed me. These points were mentioned in the termination letter. After a year, I approached them for an experience and relieving letter. They only provided a Service letter and mentioned they cannot give a relieving letter as I had been terminated.
My questions are:
1) Is there a way to obtain an experience and relieving letter?
2) Is a service letter sufficient for the next company? Will the new company accept it without an experience and relieving letter?
3) During background verification, will another company know the reason for my termination? Will there be any negative mark from the company where I was terminated?

If you were charged with some serious misconduct, how can you ask for a service certificate? If the company had issued a service certificate to you, that itself shows the immaturity of the person heading the Personnel/ HR Department. If you were given a termination letter, that would be sufficient to relieve you from service. In other words, the termination letter itself is your relieving order. In the service letter, of course, they would have written the date of joining and the designation also. But it should also contain the reason for your leaving or relieving from service, and that should be nothing other than "dismissed for misconduct". What is the use of that certificate? Just a paper. It will not make your career, but only spoil it.
The service letter and experience letter are one and the same. If the company has given you a service letter, then what is the issue? If you want a relieving letter, you just produce the termination order which itself is the order relieving you from your service.
If a prospective employer offers you employment, and prefers a background verification, then naturally, the employer who dismissed you from service will disclose the reason for termination in detail. Even if your service certificate does not speak about the reason for termination, the past employer can give the real reason when a verification comes.
You should have thought of all these things before you committed the crime. Yes, for me, it is a crime.

Whatever happened has happened; you can't go back and correct it. Think of the future. If you plan to offer this service to your future prospects, undoubtedly, they will inquire about your past, and you cannot lie during the interview. There is no need to go as far as Background Verification. Your fate may be sealed even at the screening stage just by examining your CV. The mere mention of 'termination' is enough to draw a conclusion. Therefore, set this incident aside, move past it, and forget this chapter of your journey/career. It's advisable to explore alternative ways to present a favorable picture of how you utilized this time convincingly, even if it may be considered unethical. By enhancing your skills and possibly your qualifications, you can make yourself competitive for job opportunities and increase your prospects in the job market.
