Document background
The Certificate of Retirement from Employer is a mandatory document in India that serves as official proof of an employee's retirement from service. It is issued when an employee reaches the organization's stipulated retirement age or opts for voluntary retirement under applicable schemes. The certificate is essential for processing retirement benefits, including gratuity, provident fund, and pension. It contains comprehensive information about the employee's service history, final position, retirement date, and entitled benefits. The document must comply with various Indian labor laws and regulations, including the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and state-specific employment rules. This certificate is crucial for both the employer and employee as it serves as a legal record of service completion and forms the basis for claiming post-retirement benefits.
