7 Documents to Collect Before Leaving a Company 

Planning to resign? Don’t leave without these 7 essential documents. Missing them can cause problems later in jobs, taxes, or legal work. 

1

Relieving Letter 

A relieving letter confirms your official exit. Most companies ask for it before hiring, so don’t leave without this vital proof. 

2

Experience Certificate 

This certificate showcases your role, duration, and responsibilities. It strengthens your work profile and career timeline. 

3

Final Salary Slip 

Your last payslip is proof of full and final settlement. It’s also needed for loans, tax filings, or your next job’s CTC discussion. 

4

Full and Final Settlement Statement 

This shows bonus, leave encashment, gratuity, and final dues. It protects you from future disputes. 

5

Form 16 or Tax Documents 

Form 16 helps in filing ITR and verifying your tax deductions. Collect it before the financial year ends. 

6

Exit Interview Feedback Copy 

Many firms offer a summary of your exit feedback. It’s optional but useful for HR references or future queries. 

7

Transfer Forms 

Don't forget your PF details! Whether you're withdrawing or transferring, ensure you have the necessary forms and UAN details.
