Joining Deloitte USI without a relieving letter – will a service letter be accepted for BGV?

Hi everyone,

I’ll be joining Deloitte USI soon and have a question regarding background verification.

My previous employer has officially processed my exit and confirmed my Last Working Day. However, as per their policy in my case, they will issue only a Service Letter after the Full & Final settlement (around 45–60 days later) and not a Relieving Letter.

Until then, I only have the official LWD confirmation email.

Has anyone joined Deloitte USI in a similar situation? Was the Service Letter accepted for employment verification, or was a Relieving Letter mandatory?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar experience.
