No, you don't strictly need a relieving letter if you haven't received it yet. You can use other documents to verify your work experience.

An experience letter from your previous employer on official letterhead, signed by an authorized representative, is a suitable alternative. This letter should include your name, job title, employment dates, and a summary of your responsibilities.

You can also provide supporting documents like your appointment letter, pay slips, or official correspondence confirming your employment. Make sure to explain your situation and state that the relieving letter is pending.

If you continue to face issues obtaining the relieving letter, contact your HR department or supervisor for assistance.
