In summary, your employer cannot refuse a resignation unless you haven't provided the notice period as is detailed in your employment contract. Even then, if you have a good relationship with your manager, a negotiation is possible about your final date.
It is a common misconception that an employee's notice of resignation is not valid unless it has been "accepted" by the employer. The position at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
It makes no difference whatsoever whether your employer accepts or refuses to accept your letter of resignation. Your letter is legally binding as soon as you submit it. Acceptance is nothing more than a formality.
File a complaint: If all else fails, you can file a complaint with the labour department or labour court under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The labour court can order your employer to provide you with a relieving letter.
If the employer has not formally (in writing) accepted the resignation, the employee could argue that the resignation was never accepted, or that the resignation never happened. The employee could even argue that the resignation was actually a termination and then file for unemployment.
Follow these steps to write a resignation acceptance letter: Use the right formatting and structure. Include the date and contact information. Include a salutation. Accept the resignation. Include the final date of employment. Add other information. Express appreciation. Add a complimentary close.
