Standard HR format for Indian employers — role, CTC, joining date, probation, notice period, confidentiality. Instant PDF, print on your letterhead.
An appointment letter (also called offer letter in many Indian companies) is the first formal document between employer and employee. It should cover: designation + department + reporting manager, joining date + work location, compensation (CTC breakdown), probation terms, notice period (both during probation and after confirmation), confidentiality and non-compete expectations, grounds for termination, and governing jurisdiction. This generator includes all these as standard clauses.
In Indian practice they overlap. Offer letter is sent soon after the interview to secure the candidate. Appointment letter is given on day 1 of joining with final terms (sometimes revised after the offer). Many SMEs combine both into one document — which is what this generator produces by default.
Yes. The format follows standard Indian HR practice. For maximum enforceability, print on company letterhead and have the candidate acknowledge receipt with signature.
The letter mentions the CTC amount. For a detailed CTC breakup (basic + HRA + special allowance + PF + gratuity), attach a separate CTC sheet. Use our CTC Calculator to compute it.
Non-compete clauses are hard to enforce in India (courts generally strike them down as restraint of trade). This generator keeps a mild confidentiality clause, which is enforceable.
