My company is delaying acceptance to my resignation

The company haven’t paid us 3-6months of salary saying that there’s a delay in raising VC funds. They also didn’t pay TDS and gave us Form 16 for ITR. I reached out to our client company where I worked briefly and they were happy to offer me a job there. I’m dangerously out of money in savings and it’s still uncertain in my current company about any funds. So I have given a early date to him because I really need their salary and joining bonus to survive actually. I thought I can immediately relieve from my current company as I don’t have finished projects and haven’t involve in new. But they are not responding to my calls and mail requesting for immediate resignation. What should I do now ?

Acceptance of resignation has no value, the day you resigned is considered for notice period start date.

Acceptance is not required.

My worry is that 1month again I won’t get paid. I’m looking forward to join there immediately if possible. Is it legally wrong to join early having not ending notice period here because they are intentionally not accepting it.

Just leave tomorrow if it's too bad. They haven't paid you salary for 6 months, ffs.

Management can be notoriously shameless in such situations. This happened to a friend of mine in the past, very early on his career. He sent a resignation mail and expected that to do the job. His skip manger, who was supposed to approve this, was working off a different city pretended to not have received the mail at all when asked a month later. His immediate manager never passed the information and later said “oh i thought you would have set up a call directly” So my friend had to effectively do another two months there. Still, part of the blame is with my friend for not immediately contacting and following up.

I always keep the HR on loop. Mailing resignation to atleast 3-4 people(manager, dept head, HR, HR head), not all 4 can say we haven’t received email. And mention in the email itself that starting today is my notice period and my last day would be so and so(based on the notice period). Have always served full notice period unless when laid off.

Leave tomorrow, I say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why even serve notice period? ^From a completely legal perspective, I'm of course not counting reasons like maintaining relationships, etc

Maintaining relationships? I tried but the CEO is ugly, he threatened to sue me over client solicitation which he’s making up. I am from a small town so our family won’t like to book cakes and legal stuffs. My CEO knows that and scaring me with these words. I wanted to take legal actions once I get some money from my new employer.

If legally it’s alright. I’m determined leave here dictating my own terms and join the new company early.

Acceptance does not matter. In your resignation email, I hope you mentioned “since I am resigning on x day, given the notice period, y will be my last date”. If your company had fired you on mail and you didn’t accept, would you consider yourself not fired? The same applies here.
