Document background
The Letter of Intent to Relocate is a crucial preliminary document in Indian corporate practice, typically issued when an organization plans to transfer an employee to a different location, whether domestic or international. This document serves as a formal communication of the company's intention and provides essential details about the proposed transfer. While not legally binding, it forms the basis for subsequent formal agreements and helps ensure compliance with Indian labor laws, including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act and relevant state-specific regulations. The letter is commonly used in situations involving business expansion, project-specific assignments, or organizational restructuring, and includes key information about the new role, location, compensation adjustments, and relocation benefits. It's designed to provide clarity to employees while allowing employers to maintain necessary flexibility in the relocation process.
