I work in a branch of a stock broker. The company is small. At the time of my interview, I was promised a salary raise after two months. On this condition I joined this company, but now 8 months have passed and no raise is coming.
I want to resign from this job, but they ask for a notice period of one month, otherwise they will not provide the relieving letter to me. But nothing was mentioned about a notice period in my offer letter.
My new employer wants me to join within a week.
What can I do?

Find out if there is such a thing as a 'default notice period' under Indian law.

You can usually buy out of that notice period for a salary amount equal to the notice period salary. If they want you right away have them pay for your notice period.

@Pheonixblade9 - It really sucks. Here there is a standard option to skip your notice period by paying the notice period's worth of salary to the company. And some employers deny this even when mentioned in the employment papers.

There is really no answer to the stubborn management in a small company. As the Indian saying does, try to reason with them, plead to them, if nothing go brute force. But we being a non-violent country, ignore the third stage and let life take its turn.

Easiest way out is to mentioned some medical exigency and resign from the company. Do not mention that you are going on for another job. Try to talk with HR and get things done.
If they already know you are going for another company, and then holding the relieving letter, without suggesting any action, such as buying out the notice period or so, the best way is to get your friends and superior's to reason and bat for you. If even that is out of question, and the new company does not require a relieving letter, just jump to new company, ask an old friend in previous company for some relieving letter format and edit to make it yours. Nobody, is going to bother, since the broking company you are with, now, are totally useless people (since you have tried all options). It is recommended that you do not argue or go legal to get the letter. Handle the situation diplomatically. This part of answer may be unethical, but if the situation demands there is no go. Do this only if your new employer needs relevant experience and letter to act as proof. Otherwise, simply ignore this and move on with new company.

While this may seem like a weird answer to say the least, I agree sometimes this is the only way to get things done. :-|
