Hi,

An offer letter is a letter "offering the job" to the candidate with the position, CTC, and the agreed date of joining mentioned in it. The appointment letter is given only when the candidate produces the required certificates and documents asked for in the offer letter. The candidate may or may not join after receiving the offer letter.

Hope this clarifies.

Best wishes,

Aruna,

Gautami has made a valid point, and it is 100% true. However, not all companies provide the offer and appointment letter; some organizations follow this practice, while others do not.

Offer Letter: Given after the candidate is selected and before joining.

Appointment Letter: Issued after receiving the offer letter, and after joining, typically within approximately 2 days to 1 month, depending on the company's policies.

Candidate: If a candidate receives an offer letter but does not join, then they will not receive an appointment letter.

Hope that's clear. Goodbye.

Hi Gautami,

Good day!

I agree with what you have written about the offer and appointment letter, but could you also let me know what additional information is available in the appointment letter that is not in the offer letter?
