Increment Letter

An Increment Letter is a formal document issued by an employer under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, notifying an employee of a salary increase, detailing the revised salary, effective date and reasons (e.g., performance, promotion) for roles in sectors like IT, finance or retail. Stamped per the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, for evidentiary value, it ensures compliance with laws like the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, Employees’ Provident Funds Act, 1952 and Shops and Establishments Act. 

Valid for e-delivery or e-signing under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and incorporating arbitration clauses under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, Novam Legal crafts tailored, professional increment letters to enhance employee morale, ensure clarity and maintain HR compliance.
