Questions

Is the relieving letter generator free?

Yes. Issuing letters is included with every employer account on Enlist India, on the free plan as well as the paid ones. There is no per-letter charge and no watermark.

Can I put my own logo and signature on it?

Yes. Upload your logo and a scanned signature once on the Letterhead page and every letter and salary slip you issue afterwards carries them, along with your registered name, address, CIN or GST line and brand colour.

Does it download as a PDF?

Yes. Every letter downloads as an A4 PDF that is ready to print or email, and stays in your account so you can download it again later.

Is the wording legally valid in India?

The formats follow the wording used across Indian HR practice and cover the terms these letters normally state. They are a starting point, not legal advice — every field is editable, and you should have your own counsel review the wording before you rely on it for anything contentious.

How is the reference number decided?

Each letter is numbered in your own series — your prefix, the Indian financial year and a counter, for example ACME/2026-27/0001. You can set the prefix yourself, or type a reference of your own on any letter.
