The relieving letter should be issued the same day when you’re going to exit from the company. If the company does not issue the relieving letter it means that your resignation is not accepted and you are still you are employee of the company until the company issues the relieving letter.

Relieving letter only states formally that you have been relieved to ensure that a new employee has resigned from his previous company and he is not trying to do two jobs at the same time. This prevents people from taking a holiday to try out another company.

Most of companies are interested only in your most recent position, but some CMM level 5 companies require all of your relieving, experience, payslips for verification. Companies like Infosys, TCS, CTS verifiy all the documents and also verify your educational qualification which includes your schooling and degree.

Background check practices in India vary significantly across different sectors, and even across different companies within the same sector, in the absence of any defined principles, processes or laws. A comprehensive background check requires a prospective employer to validate a candidate’s educational qualifications, past employment records, work experience, criminal records and identity check, such as a passport, driving license or income tax registration number. An effective validation process also may involve contacting past employers and former managers and supervisors.

Most organization would at-most do one level of verification which is the last/recent.

There are greater chances of ignoring you in your next job though being a potential candidate for the job if you don't have the recent/last as the present employer could not get to know whether you were relieved from that last assignment & there are no pending engagements with them.

If you don't have the most recent relieving letter, there are greater chances of job application being dropped, regardless if you are a potential candidate or not. The employer has no way to know whether or not you have been relieved from your last assignment and that there are no pending engagements with your last employer.
