When you need it

You need time off and want to ask for it in writing: an employee asking an employer or manager for casual, sick, earned or maternity leave; a student asking the Principal of a school or college; or a parent or guardian writing to the Principal for a child who will miss school. The letter gives the dates, the reason and how you can be reached during the leave, and is written to be handed in or sent by email.

Not for leaving a job — use the Resignation Letter for that. Not for a letter from an employer confirming approved leave for a visa — use the Employer NOC / Leave Letter for Visa. A long absence for illness may also need the employer's or school's own form and a doctor's certificate; this letter only asks for the leave.

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, whether written in Punjab or in the Union Territory of Chandigarh — a leave application is a request, not an instrument creating or transferring any right. Plain paper is enough.

Registration

Not registrable. Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 has no application to a request for leave, in Punjab or in Chandigarh.

Notarisation

Not required. Sign it and hand it in, or send it by email or through the workplace's or school's own leave system, and keep a copy — ask the person who receives it to sign or stamp your copy, or keep the sent email, as proof that the request was made in time.

Witnesses

None needed. The receiving person's signature or stamp on your copy only shows that the letter reached them, and on what date.
