Relieving Letter questions

Is a relieving letter mandatory?

Not by law, but most employers in India ask for one, so it's good practice to issue it on the last day.

Relieving letter vs experience letter?

The relieving letter confirms exit formalities; the experience letter describes the role and tenure. Many companies issue both.
