I don't think there is a way. You only need to move on and continue giving interviews and when they offer you at last, ask for a counter.
I faced same issue where one of the company didn't release offer for 4 weeks and on the last day of my notice period HR came up saying,
"Hey there is good news as we are offering you."
I didn't allow him to say next line and said, I have already joined other organization.
As I was literally angry with him.
You can tell them that this is the offer in pipeline but they will not accept it.
As those you are not having in hand offer.
So they will not consider it.
Until and unless those offers are from competitors, they will not entertain you.

Thats exactly why they stopped giving OL in advance just to avoid this counter offers scenario.
Yes correct bt other companies also give hike based on current holding offer nd not based on skills
Pro
Ask them politely to send salary structure. You should get that offer break up atleast to understand what components are they giving as a company for you to evaluate. And once you get that you can use for future counters.

🤣 Oh man, What kind of a company this is.. very bad 🙄

What's the point.... just to make sure candidate dosent uses ur offer to get higher ??. Eventually no candidate is going to join. This beats the whole purpose of onboarding.
Yes they do this so that we can't show this offer and get higher CTC....
NTT data is doing the same with me .
Which location?
No body is going to join such companies
Correct
You cannot do anything about this, but do get at least a confirmation email from these two companies. What if they don't release offer or your position gets filled in the last moment? So for your safety ask them to send a confirmation email at least

Btw when did you receive offer and in how many days your np ends
Yes they are saying we can only release few days before joining...may be so that we can't use it for counter offer
Name and shame
