Hi Ashish,
I had a somewhat similar situation and as per the posts from many here, they are correct. If you don't have that letter don't apply. You will be rejected. I was. And I re applied and found out that it depends on company policy whether they have to legally give you anything. In my case it was a bank and my employer said it wasn't "company policy" to give me an employment letter. Do NOT take their word for it. (I found a page on their internal website that stated in bold that they had to legally provide an employment letter etc etc - Imagine my managers shock when I sent that link to her after a year lol)!!!! Find out from Human resources, other employees in a senior position or even google it.
In the end I had to write a very harsh letter in a very legal sounding way with help of some contacts that were in a senior position and I got it. I was sick to the stomach when I got it, coz my first application was rejected because of something they said they couldn't give. After wasting a year and re-applying and then sending that threatening letter (because I had nothing to lose, i would have to leave Canada if this didn't work!) I got the letter within 2 days!
You can see my post here while this was happening and the many who helped me on the forum. There is also an example of the letter I sent. However this is quite specific to my company but you can get a good idea.
