What is Relieving Letter?

An official letter from an Indian employer confirming that an employee has been formally relieved of duties after completing their notice period and clearance.

Why it matters in hiring

Relieving Letter comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
