My reporting manager and functional head isn't approving my resignation as I've requested for early relieving
I work in a limited company. My actual notice period is 2 months and I've asked for an early relieving in 1 month. The reason being mentioned is relocation as I'm moving to abroad with my family. Initially, when I discussed this with my reporting manager, she approved it verbally and asked me to raise my resignation through the system and I did so.
But after a week, my reporting manager along with my HR SPOC, told that they cannot accept my early relieving as there are a lot of dependency on me and my manager brother's wedding is nearing and therefore I'll have to manage everything during the manager's absence.
Note: I'm not in any managerial position inside the organization and I don't lead a team.
Now, they are demanding me to submit a flight ticker as proof to approve my resignation.
All this happening as my functional head is not approving my resignation and pressuring my manager to make me stay and complete my notice period. My functional head knows that my manager isn't capable of handling everything alone. [Note: Once there was no manager for this team, after just two months of joining this organization my previous manager left in just 15 days stating health reasons, and I was solely taking care of the team activities]
But now my functional head and my manager is saying that without me it would be difficult for them to manage all the activities.
However, I had a word with my HR head and they said I don't need to submit any proof. But still I need my manager and functional head's approval for early relieving which they are not ready to do. My functional head and reporting manager are close as they come from the same location and background [I don't wanna get into all those details now].
As per my appointment letter, given below is the clause mentioned with regard to notice period:
