What a valid medical certificate should include

A medical certificate in India is issued by a registered medical practitioner after examining the patient. It should state the patient's name, age, and address; the date of consultation; the diagnosis or clinical finding; the recommended rest period or fitness status; and the doctor's name, qualifications, NMC or State Medical Council registration number, signature, and clinic stamp.

Employers, colleges, and insurers commonly request sick leave certificates for payroll leave records, fitness certificates before resuming duty, and fit-to-travel letters for official travel. This generator helps doctors and clinic staff produce a structured draft that includes all standard fields.

The output is a draft for review only. Only a registered doctor may issue a valid certificate after personal examination. The final document must carry the doctor's signature and official clinic or hospital stamp before submission to an employer or institution.
