Internship Letter

When you need it

A student or recent graduate is joining your organisation as an intern at a Punjab or Chandigarh workplace, and needs the terms of the internship in writing — role, duration, stipend if any, working hours, supervisor, confidentiality, and that the internship is not employment. States the institution the intern is enrolled at, the internship period, the stipend or that it is unpaid, and that the internship carries no promise of a job afterwards and can be extended or converted only by a separate letter if that is later offered. Confidentiality applies to an intern in the same way it applies to a regular employee, since an intern often sees the same sensitive information. Not for an actual job offer — use the Offer Letter and Appointment Letter for that. If an intern is later offered a regular position, issue a fresh Offer Letter and Appointment Letter for it; do not stretch this letter to cover that.

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.
