Resignation letter format — with your notice period and last working day
Short answer. Enter the day you resign to see where a 30, 60 or 90-day notice period ends. Notice period: set by your appointment letter or company policy (your contract — the law does not fix it).
We will ask you to confirm this address, then email you the recipient’s reply.

Tell me the day you resign, and I will show where your notice period ends.
Keep a dated copy — your notice runs from the day you sent it.

Questions
What is the notice period for resignation in India?
It is set by your appointment letter or company policy — commonly 30, 60 or 90 days. The law does not fix one number for every job.
When must my last salary be paid?
Under section 17(2) of the Code on Wages, 2019, wages due on resignation are paid within two working days of resignation.
Can I leave before the notice period ends?
Ask for early release (version C). Whether the company agrees, and whether it adjusts leave or recovers pay, depends on your contract and policy.
Can I resign by email?
Yes — version B. Copy HR and keep the sent email as proof of the date.
What should I ask for on my last day?
Relieving letter, experience letter, full and final settlement statement and, later, Form 16.
How do I prove HR received my resignation?
Send it from Layers with tracking: you see when it was opened and for how long, and you can set a reminder to follow up.
