Generally, No — but with caveats.
If an employee has fully served their contractually stipulated notice period (e.g., 90 days), the employer cannot unilaterally extend the LWD without the employee’s consent.
Contract is Supreme
∙ The employment contract/offer letter governs the notice period.
∙ Once you’ve served the agreed notice period, your contractual obligation is fulfilled.
∙ The employer has no legal right to hold you beyond that date without mutual agreement.
Key Points to Know
∙ Resignation doesn’t need employer acceptance. Under Indian law, you have the right to resign by serving the contractual notice.
∙ Salary must be paid for all days worked during notice, including up to the LWD.
∙ Full & Final Settlement (FnF) must be processed within a reasonable time (typically 30–60 days post-LWD, though no strict statutory deadline exists for non-industrial workers).
∙ Relieving letter & experience letter must be issued after serving full notice — withholding them can be legally challenged.
What You Can Do If LWD Is Being Delayed
1. Send a written email confirming your LWD as per the contract.
2. Escalate to HR citing the employment contract terms.
3. Send a legal notice via a lawyer if the company refuses to relieve you.
4. Approach the Labour Court or file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner if applicable.
5. For senior/IT employees, civil courts or consumer/civil suits may be an option.
Bottom Line
An organization cannot legally compel you to work beyond your contractual notice period. Delaying your LWD after full notice is served is a breach of contract and the employee is well within rights to stop attending work on the agreed LWD.
Note: I’m not a lawyer, and specific situations can vary. For complex cases — especially involving bonds, garden leave clauses, or high-stakes roles — consulting an employment lawyer in India is advisable.
Thanks for elaborate response
No. I guess. But taunts keep coming and they make us feel np is not for 90 days, but for 1000 years

No
It is only possible in the case where you have taken leaves during the notice period and it is up to the manager to either waive the unserved notice (i.e., if you have a good rapport with them) or recover unserved days, which basically adds to the notice period. Depends on the individual org policies though.
Ideally no but most offer letters have a clause that they can extend for another 30 days if you are working on critical project. But its consensual and basis offer letter agreed not unilateral.
