When to use this letter

Use this when another body wants your employer's written statement that it has no objection: to your passport or visa application, a part-time course, an exam, or sometimes a loan. The body asking for the NOC usually has a preferred wording. Get that first and pass it to HR.

Before you send it

Say exactly what the NOC is for and to whom it should be addressed.
If it is for travel, mention your approved leave dates so that HR can include them.
Government employees usually have a prescribed form and channel for an NOC. Ask your office before you use a plain letter.

How to send or submit it

Send the request to HR, or to your head of office in a government department, through the proper channel, with a copy of the form or rule that asks for the NOC. Collect the signed original; most authorities do not accept a scan.

Mistakes that get it sent back

The purpose is unclear, or the authority to be addressed is not named.
A prescribed form existed and a plain letter was sent in its place.
For travel, the leave for those dates had not been approved yet.
Applied too late for the signatory to be available.

This is a general format, written by us, to save you time. If the company has its own printed form, use that form. Last checked: 11 November 2026.
