The Letter of Censure is a crucial disciplinary tool in Indian corporate and institutional settings, used when verbal warnings or informal counseling have proven insufficient, but termination is not yet warranted. This document serves as an intermediate step in the progressive disciplinary process, providing formal documentation of misconduct or performance issues while adhering to Indian labor laws and workplace regulations. The Letter of Censure typically follows specific incidents of policy violations, serious misconduct, or persistent performance issues, and must be drafted in compliance with the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, relevant state labor laws, and organizational policies. It creates an official record that can be referenced in future disciplinary actions while protecting both employer and employee rights under Indian law.
