Hi Ruchi,
Although it is not mandatory to put reference number in all the correspondence of HR, but if you do, it makes the tracking and record keeping easier.
Now, putting company seal is very important even when the letter head is used. The company seal is used so that the signatory becomes authorised to sign the documents on behalf of the company.
Am I right seniors???? :)

Hi Archana
You are right on reference nos.
Company seal on letter head is not required.By company seal the reference is to requirement under the companies ac t. under the companies act and more relevant to shares.agreements,bank transaction.
this round seal usually kept under security come to be affixed on the document.
In normal parlance seal refers to the rubber stamp.The affixing is required only when the signature has to be fixed on authority received in writing and 'for' cannot be typed.Otherwise it is sufficient on letter heads this is typed at the bottom and the signatory binds himself on behalf of the company.
