What should an appraisal letter include?

An appraisal or increment letter should clearly state the employee's revised CTC, the effective date, and — where relevant — a revised designation. Mentioning the performance rating or basis for the increase, while optional, helps reinforce that the revision is tied to performance.

Appraisal letter vs increment letter — same thing?

Yes, in Indian HR practice these terms are typically used interchangeably — both refer to a formal letter confirming a revision (usually an increase) in an employee's compensation, issued after an annual or periodic performance review.

Is this legally binding?

This generates a standard-format compensation revision letter suitable for most appraisal cycles. For anything with legal weight — updated employment contracts, ESOP grants, or other benefit changes — have your HR or legal team review the final wording before issuing it.
