FAQs
A NOC (No Objection Certificate) is a letter from your employer saying they have no objection if you join another company or apply for a new job opportunity.
Mention your reason, last working day (if applicable), and politely ask for the NOC from HR or your manager. You can send an email or write a request letter.
Some companies ask for NOC to confirm that you have officially informed your current employer, and there are no issues with your exit.
Your resignation letter/email, ID proof, and sometimes a clearance or handover confirmation are required. You have to submit them to your HR.
You can politely follow up, explain your urgency, or request an email confirmation. If you absconded and didn’t serve the notice period, then you have to pay the notice period amount.
Most companies accept it if it is issued within the last 1 to 3 months. But there is no fixed validity, you don’t need to get an NOC from the same company every time you apply for the jobs.
No, an NOC gives permission to join a new company by mentioning that they have no objection to you. Where as experience letter confirms your employment duration.
