Hi, I work as an Executive HR in an advertising agency. I need to know if we can issue a salary certificate without a purpose mentioned in the request by an employee. This is a salary certificate and not a salary slip that we mail to our employees every month.

A salary slip is sufficient to issue, and no other document is required during the financial year. If the employee falls under the tax bracket, Form 16 shall be issued after the completion of the financial year.

When an employee specifically asks for a salary certificate, should we ask for the purpose of such a certificate?

Importance of Stating the Purpose in a Salary Certificate
It is always advisable to mention the purpose for which the salary certificate is being issued. Hence, whenever an employee asks for a salary certificate, ask them to specify the purpose. If no purpose is mentioned, at least include a statement that the certificate is being issued for personal use. In this way, the employee will not be able to misuse the certificate.

Salary Slip vs. Salary Certificate
A salary slip is an official statement of earnings received from the company. Hence, no other certificate is required to be issued, nor should such a request be entertained. It is inappropriate to demand a salary certificate for any reason, as the salary slip has already been issued. We do not entertain such requests from our employees.
Thank you.
