In India, what are the valid reasons for letting an employee go? And, is the exit process for someone who’s been let go the same as it is for someone who retires or resigns on their own?

In India, an employer can terminate an employee for reasons such as misconduct, poor performance, or redundancy, as long as due process is followed. The exit process for termination differs from resignation or retirement. Termination typically involves a formal notice period, severance pay, and potentially legal implications, while resignation and retirement usually involve a smoother process with pre-agreed terms.
