    In India, not serving a three-month notice period can have consequences depending on the nature of your contract:
    • Legal action
      Your employer may sue for breach of contract, which could lead to legal disputes and penalties.
    • Withholding of final settlement
      Your employer may withhold unpaid salary, bonuses, or other benefits until you meet the notice period conditions.
    • Loss of relieving letter
      You may not receive a relieving letter, which is a formal document that confirms your exit from the company and is essential for future job applications.
    • Negative reference
      Your employer may provide a negative reference, which could affect your future job prospects.
    • Damaged reputation
      Not serving notice may harm your professional reputation and relationships within your industry.
    • Forfeited salary or benefits
      You may forfeit part of your salary or benefits for the notice period not served. 

      However, in many cases, a notice period is a formality and an agreement between employee and employer to forego the notice period can be beneficial. You can ask your employer if they’ll agree to reduce your notice period, and you can reassure them that leaving early won’t cause them any problems. For example, you could agree to finish any urgent work. You can also remind them that letting you leave early will mean they don’t have to pay you for as long.
