Should I send them the full offer letter if asked by them and if I share the offer letter of accenture then can accenture take back my offer? What should be the best that could be done in this situation? Accenture Tata Consultancy Paytm

I am having 7.5 years of experience and I haven't done any certification to be in tech development sector. I kept on learning from various sources to keep myself updated. I managed to get near 40lpa package with 7.5 years of experience which is really good considering underpaying Indian IT industry. Keep learning and new doors will open for you. This year alone I learned react native, rejected 2 international offers (55lpa INR and 58lpa INR) and secured another international offer at 80 lpa INR with just pure knowledge.
I myself take interviews and I've hardly ever see anyone's resume. I ask people what they are comfortable with and take it from ther. I can confirm 98% interviewers don't even look at certification section. However if you learn something on your own and created something out of it, may be host it on gh pages or just code in github, they'll be more interested in that because it shows that you take initiative to learn and you can travel the path of unknown without needing guidance from others.
Certifications don't always show candidate's ability or inability to work on certain tasks, that's why one should prefer to learn basics from all available sources.

Use it as a learning platform. Certifications don't matter much if you can't perform well in interviews.
Also, I've been using Coursera since my college days and I've never paid anything. I have always used their financial assistance and I get free of cost access to all the courses that I need to learn. It's just that they take 2 weeks of time to approve it. So, apply for multiple courses at once.
Over rated. I would suggest that Linkedin Learning is much better.
Don’t go for certifications Go for learning instead.
