Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an experience letter and relieving letter?+

An experience letter describes tenure and work; a relieving letter confirms the employee was relieved after completing exit formalities. Many IT companies issue both.

Can client names be mentioned in an IT experience letter?+

Only if your client contracts allow it. Otherwise describe the domain, such as banking or healthcare, instead.

Why must dates match PF records?+

Background verification agencies check employment dates against UAN service history, so mismatches cause delays.
