Can I retract my NOC if I have not signed a labor contract and got a better job offer?
Hello,
I would like to ask if I can retract my NOC submitted to the hiring company.
I have not signed a labor contract yet.
I received a new job offer that is better.
Greetings,
If you have not yet signed a labor contract, you may have the possibility to retract your NOC, but this depends on several factors, including the hiring company’s policies and any commitments made during the visa process. There may be legal and procedural implications to consider.

Yes, in most cases, you can retract a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before you sign a labor contract with the company you issued it to.
Since you haven't signed the contract yet, the employment relationship hasn't officially begun, and you generally have the right to change your mind.
Contact the company you gave the NOC to as soon as possible. Explain your situation politely and professionally. It's best to do this in writing (email) so you have a record of your communication.
If you need further clarification, you may ask us.
Thank you for reaching out with your query!
If you have already submitted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to your hiring company but have not yet signed the labor contract, you may still have the opportunity to retract the NOC.
Generally, a signed employment contract is a binding agreement, and until that is in place, the NOC does not create a legally enforceable commitment.
However, it’s essential to carefully review the terms under which you submitted the NOC to ensure there are no potential obligations or penalties for retracting it.
Additionally, you should communicate your decision to the hiring company as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.
If you would like to discuss this matter further and explore your options in detail, I would be happy to assist you with professional advice.

Dear Questioner,
Thank you for your inquiry!
Regarding your situation, as you have submitted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the hiring company, but have not yet signed a labour contract, the NOC is essentially a preliminary step. Since the labour contract has not been finalized and signed, you are not legally bound to the new employer yet.
However, to ensure a smooth process and avoid any potential misunderstandings, it is recommended that you take the following steps:
- Contact the Hiring Company:
Reach out to the employer you submitted the NOC to, explaining that you have reconsidered and wish to withdraw the NOC.
It is always best to be clear and professional in your communication, highlighting that you have received a better offer.
- Document the Withdrawal:
Although there is no formal law that prohibits retracting an NOC before signing the labour contract, documenting the withdrawal in writing will protect you. This will help in case any issues arise later regarding your employment status or future job offers.
- Legal Considerations:
As long as you have not signed a formal labour contract, you are not legally committed to the company. The NOC serves as a formal permission to process your work visa, but until the contract is signed, there is no binding employment relationship.
In conclusion, you can indeed retract the NOC, provided that it has not yet been formally incorporated into a signed agreement.
If you need further legal assistance with this process or would like a more formal letter to send, please do not hesitate to contact me.
