If you have complied with the terms and conditions of the employment on separation i.e with stipulated notice and the employer has not replied to your resignation then it is deemed acceptance. It would be further advisable that you send a reminder noticing that since you ( employer) have not replied to my letter dated........, I presume that you have accepted the same.

also in the letter demand settlement of your dues. If you are holding any gadget supplied by the company or any other property of the employer, return it with acknowledgment.

You can file a suit for recovery of your dues if the same are not paid after notice.

If your new employer does not insist upon producing NOC from previous employer you can join the new job.

1. If you have the copy of the correspondence which you exchanged with the company, more precisely the intimation regarding your ill health, you can sue the company to pay your unpaid dues and also issue the relieving letter to you.

2. Without a relieving letter from your current employer it may not be possible for you to join another employer. Since you had intimated your health status and sought the balance leave or termination, the company cannot treat you as an absentee.

3. Issue a lawyer's notice to the company.

If you have submitted the medical certificates for leave of absence, then the company cannot unilaterally declare you as absconder. You should have obtained acknowledgement for the leave applied. However you can secure the evidences even now and withdraw the application for resignation sent already (since it was neither accepted nor acknowledged), and join back the duties, watch for the reaction b the company.

After getting a negative reply for all your positive steps, you may contemplate to initiate appropriate legal action as envisaged in the rules for relief and remedy.

First and foremost if you have resigned under grounds of health constraints with necessary medical certificates. Then you must raise a demand for your balance payments.

If your balance payment needs are not met then the best way to proceed against a Pvt Limited company for outstanding debts is by filing a winding up petition. Its the most efficacious remedy available for outstanding payments against a private limited company. This proceeding starts with a notice under sec 433 of the Companys Act, 1956 and has to be written by a lawyer.

Consult a commercial lawyer at that stage.

2. send resignation letter as per your company's rule,

3. If you have already resigned as per company's rule, send a legal notice to the company seeking release letter and all pending benefits,

4. Mention in the said legal notice that if no response comes from the Company within 15 days it will be treated that you have been released by the company and there will be no dues from your side to the company.
