Dear Friends, Please guide me if the company is offering the position of Assistant Company Secretary in the offer letter, but the appointment letter states "Officer Secretarial." I received the appointment letter four months after joining the company. Please let me know what I should do and whether I can ask for a salary difference from the date of joining, as the appointment letter is dated the date of joining. Thank you.

You meant to say that Officer Secretarial is ranked above the designation of Assistant Company Secretary. As per my best knowledge, the designation goes this way:

Officer Secretarial → Assistant Company Secretary → Company Secretary

Please guide me if I am wrong.

While echoing the doubt of FC Vadodara, my sincere advice to you is to bring the discrepancy to the notice of the HR or concerned department regarding your designation in the offer letter and the appointment letter and get it cleared. If your designation is erroneously mentioned as a higher salaried 'Officer-Secretarial' but you are, in fact, discharging the duties of Assistant Company Secretary with a lower pay band, probably you cannot claim any difference.

When you receive the paper does not matter. What is important is the date of the appointment on that paper.

There is no relation between the Offer Letter and the Appointment Letter.

Offer Letter
It is a letter issued by the employer to the selected candidate to join with some terms and conditions, such as designation, department, salary, location, etc.

Appointment Letter
This is issued by the employer to the selected candidate who has accepted the terms and conditions of the Offer Letter and agreed to join.

If the employer had offered you the position of Assistant Secretary and you joined as Secretary, there is nothing wrong with it. However, they should provide you with the Appointment Letter on the first date of your joining, whether as a trainee, temporary, probationary, or regular; it does not matter.

Yes you can ask for difference in salary and company has to pay that in terms of arrears
