For fakers, if they can print the letter heads of the companies, can’t they make seals which cost few hundreds? Pon

Dear All,
As many have said, the seal of the company on the letterhead is NOT mandatory. However, some insist on it, believing that any document with a seal is more authentic and believable. The cost of a rubber stamp/seal is only 50 Rs., but it provides the authenticity needed even for documents involving thousands of crores. For example, most state and central government correspondences are not on pre-printed letterheads but on very cheap ordinary paper with a seal affixed to it (often using scrap paper/one-sided paper that others throw into the dustbin). Most government officers are prohibited from printing their own visiting cards and only carry a rubber stamp.
Judgments by courts are not passed on a letterhead but with a rubber stamp on them. Under the Companies Act, certain documents require a common seal.
However, for the present case, there's no need to worry. An appointment letter on a printed letterhead would suffice.

A company seal is known as a common seal, and it is mandatory in certain documents like share certificates, debenture certificates, etc., which are prescribed under the company's act. An ordinary rubber stamp showing the name of the company is not a company seal, nor does it have any legal sanction. However, most government officials use this rubber stamp to confirm the name and designation of the signatory, as many government letters are not sent on letterheads.

The seals of state/central governments are made in government presses, which is not the case for private companies. Any roadside vendor can make seals, and they may decline to manufacture government seals out of fear. Government companies follow the age-old practice of using plain paper with a seal/stamp, which is not the case with private companies. Nowadays, most letters are generated through computers, which do not even require authentication, for example, bank statements, credit card statements, etc. Frauds can be executed by unscrupulous individuals regardless of the mechanisms in place.

If an offer is released on the company letterhead with an authorized signatory, then the company seal/stamp is not mandatory. These days, it is common for offers to be released on the company letterhead. In cases where the company letterhead is not available, such as in a new setup, you can use the company seal/stamp, which adds to the authenticity.

Hi,
Seals and stamps on letterheads are generally not required, but an authorized signatory is a must. However, the purpose for which the letterhead is used should be borne in mind. It means that when it comes to proving something legally, seals and stamps would play a more authentic role.
