What should an offer letter in India actually contain?

There is no statutory format for an offer letter in India, which is exactly why so many of them are thin. A usable one names the legal entity making the offer, the job title, the reporting line, the work location, the date of joining, the gross annual salary with its components set out separately, the probation length, the notice period on both sides, and a date by which the candidate has to respond. Leave any of those out and the argument happens later, usually at exit.

The component split matters more than the headline number. Basic pay drives provident fund, gratuity and leave encashment, so a letter that shows only a single annual figure tells the candidate nothing about take home pay. Offrd builds the letter from the salary structure you set up once, so the breakup in the offer, the appointment letter and the first payslip are the same numbers.

When does Form 16 have to be issued?

By 15 June following the end of the financial year, under section 203 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It covers 1 April to 31 March. Part A comes from the TRACES portal and carries the quarter wise summary of tax deposited. Part B carries the salary breakup, the exemptions claimed and the deductions under Chapter VI A.

An employer who deducted no tax because salary fell below the exemption limit is not obliged to issue it, though many do because employees ask.

When is statutory bonus paid?

Within eight months of the close of the accounting year, which for most companies means by the end of November for a year ending in March. Many employers in India pay it before the festival season instead, which is earlier than required and generally welcomed.

The bonus register and the return are part of the same obligation. Paying the money without keeping the record leaves the compliance half done.

How does overtime work for India employers?

Where it applies, overtime is paid at twice the ordinary rate of wages, and the daily and weekly hour caps come from the state Shops and Establishments Act or the Factories Act depending on the establishment. Managerial and supervisory roles are usually outside the overtime provisions, and where the line falls is set by the applicable Act rather than by the job title.

The record matters as much as the rate. Overtime claimed without an hours record is hard to defend either way.

Frequently asked questions

Is an offer letter legally binding in India?

An accepted offer letter is a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, so both sides are held to what it says. That is why the salary breakup, the joining date and the notice period belong in the letter rather than in an email thread.
