Hi Everyone,
First of all, thanks to all for giving responses to all my questions. I am here again with a new question: what is the difference between a joining letter and an appointment letter, an offer letter, and which of these are mandatory?
Also, I would like a format for all of these letters. Please reply.
Thanks in advance.

An appointment letter is an offer for appointment, and a joining letter is one that you will give when you report for duty. Both are mandatory. For the format, please use Google. It has many formats. I hope this will help you a bit.

Dear Gayatri,
An offer letter is given to the candidate after selection, which generally mentions the designation, department, location, salary, date of joining, documents required at the time of joining, etc.
A joining letter is provided by the candidate on the joining date, mentioning that he/she has joined the organization. Sometimes, the organization issues a joining letter to candidates after the successful completion of the joining procedure.
An appointment letter/employment contract is a contract between the employee and employer regarding the terms and conditions by which both parties will be governed. Generally, it is issued after passing the medical fitness test.
Formats differ from organization to organization, but the basic elements remain the same and are mandatory. Kindly let us know why you require this information?
For more updates, kindly revert back.

Dear Gayatri,
Shaikh Abedeen is right. Joining and offer letters are more or less the same and should mention all details about the department, designation, salary, time, venue, and contact person.
On the other hand, an appointment letter is an employment contract. It is like an agreement between you and your employer. You must obey the terms and conditions throughout your career with a particular organization.

Hello Gayatrikhutale,
First things first, offer and joining letters are almost the same. They are both given when a candidate is selected for a particular position. There is no significant difference between these two letters. From the format to the details included in them, everything is the same.
Understanding Appointment Letters
When it comes to an appointment, it is used to confirm that the candidate has been appointed for the given position. It includes all the information that was not spelled out in the offer letter or joining letter.
Hope I helped you understand the difference between the joining letter, appointment letter, and offer letter. Also, you can find a variety of formats on the internet.
