But I have only 30 days to join to new one and I also want to payout my probation period but HR said if you don't serve your notice period complete then we don't give you letter of relieving instead it , it may letter of termination ( because according to HR there is no clause mention in offer letter regarding payout relieving/payout early relieving) , so what should I do in such case (5th month of probation period).?

A.Dear Client,
An appointment on probation is an appointment on a trial basis. If the employee feels that the role is not for him/her, or he/she was offered alternate employment, it is perfectly acceptable to quit during the probation period. When a condition is stipulated in your contract of employment specifying that you have to serve 90 days notice period, in case you tender resignation, you need to serve your notice period if you want to leave your company during the probation period. In the absence of a provision in the offer letter, you cannot opt for a buyout policy for non-compliance with the required notice period and in such a situation if you left your existing employer/company and join a new one without a relieving letter provided your new company allowed you to resume without a relieving letter. In that case, your present employer may terminate your service for breach of contract which is considered a stigma to the career of an employee and may be a cause of concern in future in course of Background Verification(BGV) of an employee which is a process many organizations carry out in order to verify the information provided by the candidate during hiring. In the prevailing situation, you need to speak with both the employer in detail and try to negotiate the matter suitably. No employer can exploit a career of an employee if it causes no harm or injury to their establishment ignoring the principle of natural justice. If required, you may escalate the matter before the concerned Labour Commissioner or Chief Inspector of shops and establishments praying for their kind intervention into the matter for a resolution considering your career prospect..
