Indian IT mein 60-90 din notice period normal hai. TCS, Infosys, Wipro mein 90 din. Startups mein 30-60 din.
Yeh notice period tumhare liye opportunity bhi hai aur problem bhi. Use sahi se handle karna seekho.
Pehle resign karu ya offer ke baad?#
90% logon ko yeh confusion hota hai.
Rule: Offer letter haath mein aaye bina kabhi resign mat karo. Indian market mein anything can happen. Offer rescind ho sakta hai. Hiring freeze ho sakta hai. Backout ho sakta hai.
Pehle naukri dhundo, offer secure karo, fir resign karo.

Recruiters ko notice period kaise bataye#
Yeh sabse common question hai phone screen mein: "Notice period kya hai?"
Honest jawab dena hai but smart way mein.
Agar tumhe 90 din notice hai:
- Pehle yeh bolo: "My current notice is 90 days, but I'm open to buyout/early release"
- Highlight karo flexibility: "Once I have an offer, I can negotiate with my manager for 60 days release"
- Buyout amount mention nahi karna jab tak puche
Agar tum already serving ho:
- Exact remaining days bolo: "I'm currently serving notice. 45 days left."
- Joining date confirm karo: "I can join on [exact date]"
- Yeh game-changer hai. Recruiters notice-serving candidates ko prefer karte hai.
Job search timeline notice ke andar#
90 din breakdown:
Day 1-7 (week 1):
- Resign formally email + meeting with manager
- LinkedIn pe "Open to Work" laga do

Notice period buyout: kya, kab, kaise#
Buyout matlab tum apne notice period ke remaining months ka salary pay karte ho aur jaldi exit karte ho.
Buyout formula (varies by company):
- Standard: Remaining months ki gross salary
- Senior roles: Sometimes 1.5x
- TCS, Infosys: Strict policy, full salary buyout
- Startups: Often flexible, negotiable
Kab buyout karo:
- Naya offer hai aur joining urgent hai (1 month ke andar)
- New employer ne reimburse karna confirm kiya hai
- Tumhe gap nahi chahiye
Kab buyout mat karo:
- Tum apna paisa kharch karne ko ready nahi
- Naye offer mein flexibility hai joining ki
- Tumhe break chahiye
New employer ko buyout request#
Most new employers buyout reimburse karte hai for senior roles (4+ years experience).
Negotiation script:
"My current notice is 90 days. To join earlier, I'd need a buyout of approximately ₹X. Is this something the company would consider reimbursing? This is a standard practice for senior hires."
Tier-1 product companies (Razorpay, Cred, Flipkart, Microsoft GCC) usually reimburse. IT services companies less likely.

Manager ko kaise sambhale notice mein#
Awkward situation hai. Tum already mentally check out ho. Manager naye work allocate kar raha hai.
Do:
- Knowledge transfer documents banao
- Pending kaam complete karo
- Replacement onboard karne mein help karo
- Smile and grind karte raho
Don't:
- "Mujhe kya farak padta hai" attitude
- Notice mein hi attitude dikhana
- Team meetings skip karna
- Toxic gossip
Yaad rakh: Manager future reference ho sakta hai. Burn karna mat.
Common scenarios#
Scenario 1: Job mil gayi, notice 60 din baaki
Action: Tumhe lucky ho. Naye employer ko 60 din wait karne ke liye keh do. Aaj kal startups ek hi mahine bhi wait kar lete hai for right candidate.
Scenario 2: Job mil gayi, notice 90 din baaki, naye employer 30 din mein chahta hai
Action: Buyout option discuss karo. Agar reimburse nahi hota, apne current company se early release negotiate karo (60 din kar sakte ho). Worst case, dono jobs ka loss ho sakta hai (rare).
Scenario 3: Notice serving, naya offer rescind ho gaya
Action: Current company se withdraw resignation request karo. 50% chances hai accept ho jayega. Parallel mein dusri jobs search karo. Don't panic.
Scenario 4: Notice mein extension chahiye for current company
Action: Mat karo. Notice extend karna unprofessional dikhta hai future mein. Stick to dates.

Background verification timing#
Naya employer BGV (Background Verification) kar raha hai notice ke during. Yeh smooth honi chahiye:
- Current company ko BGV ke liye HR contact ki list de do
- Reference managers (current and previous) bata do ki call aa sakti hai
- Documents tayyar rakho: Form 16, PF passbook, payslips, offer letters
Agar tum currently serving notice ho, BGV mein "Currently employed" likh do. Don't lie.
Joining date kaise set kare#
3 options:
-
Notice end date + 1 din: Direct join, no gap. Most common.
-
Notice end + 7-15 din gap: Break for mental reset, family time. Most employers cool with this.
-
Pre-notice end (buyout): Aggressive, but works for urgent roles.
Joining date offer letter mein clearly mention karwao. Email pe written confirmation lo.
F&F + relieving letter timing#
Current company se exit hone ke baad:
- F&F settlement: 30-45 din (usually)
- Relieving letter: Last working day pe
- Experience certificate: 1-2 weeks baad
- Form 16: April mein next financial year
Naya employer relieving letter mangega 30 din ke andar joining ke. Time pe collect karo, follow up karo HR se.
Yaad rakh#
Notice period stressful hai. 90 din ka guarantee window hai tumhare paas naukri dhundhne ka. Use it wisely.
- Daily 5-10 applications
- Weekly 2-3 interviews
- Aggressive networking
- Don't slack at current job
- Documents collect karte raho
JobRise pe job-ready resume banao aur notice period mein next chapter ke liye taiyar ho jao.
