Hi,
I left my company in August 2014. Almost 3 years completed, and the management is not giving me experience letter. They have given me a letter with old designation of Officer-HR at the time when I left. I have asked legally through a lawyer and still they are not responding. At the time of leaving, they have given me promotion. What to do. Please give me a advice.
Thanks,

Don't you have the promotion letter? Has not your lawyer attached the promotion letter and sent the notice? Tell your lawyer to issue a second notice to the CEO of the company with a cc to the signatory. That should normally resolve the issue. Since you have initiated action through a lawyer, please go by his advise. Am sure he will advise you to file a case to get an order to implement what is in your appointment letter, if the notice to the CEO fails to get a response.

Are you sure you have given us the complete description and all details of the issue ?
Why did the company give a relieving letter in old designation ?
How many days had passed since your promotion when you resigned ?
Do you have any proof that you were given a promotion ?
Getting a letter changed through legal threat will not really solve anything. If anyone does a background check the company will tell them the letter is fake. You are not even going to know why you were suddenly thrown out

Thank you Saswata Banerjee and other person for your reply and guidance. I really appreciate it.
I resigned from the company because it was under crisis/lock out. They wanted me to continue to work there as Executive Director to reconcile with the employees, since i had developed a good rapport with them.
I dont have any proof that they had given me promotion. Orally at the time of resigning, the management informed me about my new position, and said will be given in letter ASAP.
Since, the company was under crisis, we did not serve the notice period. But till now, I have not got any letter.
If getting a letter changed through a legal threat is not a good idea, what else can I do. Help me please.

Oral promise is not valid in absence of a letter. You have put yourself in a position where you will never get this letter by going through a lawyer, since you have no evidence. So, just reconcile yourself to the facts and the reality.

The employer wanted to retain you and hence offered you a promotion, only if you continue working but on the other hand you have left the company in lurch and that too without serving the Notice Period as per the clause (as you have mentioned above) now if you claim that you want the experience letter with a designation of promotion for which you have not adhered to and even worked for a single day. If you feel that sending a letter through a lawyer/ Legal Threat will help you am sorry you may create legal tangle which will not help you in long run.
