I was selected in a company and they forward a portal to enter my details including education details and after 3 days they sent a offer letter through email and I accepted the same. I left the old company and went for 1st day formalities to new company but they kept my offer letter hard copy on hold and told that they have some doubt on my Degree certificates. Now i'm job less. Please advise what action should I take now

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave these specific reasons:
- "Questions seeking advice on company-specific regulations, agreements, or policies should be directed to your manager or HR department. Questions that address only a specific company or position are of limited use to future visitors. Questions seeking legal advice should be directed to legal professionals. For more information, click here." – IDrinkandIKnowThings, NotMe
- "Questions asking for advice on what to do are not practical answerable questions (e.g. "what job should I take?", or "what skills should I learn?"). Questions should get answers explaining why and how to make a decision, not advice on what to do. For more information, click here." – Joel Etherton, gnat

The only answer other than "it sucks but you have to move on" is a legal one so I'm a fraid this is off-topic.

First action, start looking for a new job. If you left your old job gracefully, ask them if they would consider taking you back. If they haven't filled the position, they might.

You don't necessarily need legal advice here, but some common sense. If your degree is genuine, then resolve all their concerns by (for example) getting them to contact your University directly. If your degree is fake, there really isn't any question here.

Go to a lawyer... Cannot think of anything else based on what I have read. If they had any doubts they should have expressed them before offering you the position in the first place.
Validate first your legal options first, then you will be able to have a number of possibilities to see which one you should pursue.

I'm not sure what a lawyer could do to help. A company has every right to rescind an offer letter.

@DavidK While we're heading into a legal discussion it's indeed the case that in some countries offer letters are the same as contracts and have legal power. The very act of creating one can constitute a binding offer to employ someone and legal shenanigans can ensue if they eventually refuse to hire the person.
