When you need it

An employer in Punjab or Chandigarh is closing out a leaving employee and wants one sheet that each department signs: that the employee handed over work, returned the identity card, keys, laptop and other property, owes nothing to accounts, and that access to systems has been turned off. It is your own internal clearance sheet.

Read more

Complete it in the employee's last week, and keep it with the personnel file. The sheet lists what the employee is to return, so you can see at a glance what is still outstanding. Clearance of the sheet is a step towards the final settlement; it does not decide what is legally payable, and it should not be used to hold back wages or the Experience/Relieving Letter without a lawful reason. Not the Full and Final Settlement Letter, which sets out the money; use that next. Not a no-dues certificate issued by a bank or a housing society.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Not chargeable to stamp duty under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, in Punjab or Chandigarh — it is a letter, not an instrument that creates or transfers any right. Print it on the employer's letterhead.

Registration

Not registrable. Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 has no application to a letter of this kind.

Notarisation

Not required. What matters is proof that it reached the other side: hand delivery against a signed acknowledgement, registered post, or a dated email. Keep that proof with the file.

Witnesses

None required.
