Hiring & Employment

Offer Letter

The pre-joining offer, used before the full Employment Agreement — including conditions precedent and an offer validity window most generic offer letters skip.

  • Conditions Precedent — background verification, document checks, medical fitness
  • Express offer withdrawal rights if conditions aren't met
  • Offer Validity Window to avoid ambiguity about whether a binding contract has formed
  • Clear supersession clause — this is replaced by the Employment Agreement on joining

An offer with no validity date can create genuine ambiguity about whether a binding contract has formed — and once accepted, can only be revoked in limited circumstances. This template sets a realistic validity window specifically to avoid that gap.
Before you sign this document:
1. Update the jurisdiction. This template is drafted with placeholder city/state fields — replace them with your own business's actual location, not any example city shown in the document.
2. Print on valid stamp paper. This PDF is a drafting template, not an executable legal document on its own. Under the Indian Stamp Act, most agreements need to be printed on physical stamp paper (or e-stamped) of the correct value for your state before signing — an unstamped agreement may be inadmissible as evidence until the deficiency is paid. Confirm the correct stamp duty and process for your state before execution.
