Character Certificate for Employee / Govt Job / Student (Sample)

Character certificate is a document which essentially certifies the overall character of a person i.e. his behavior and conduct towards other people in the day to day life in general or at an institution.

A Character Certificate may have a legal implication in the future. So the certificate issuing authority should be careful in making the statements in the certificate. He should not take it as just a mere formality and give the certificate away to someone recklessly.

Example: The issuing authority in a company ought to at least take into consideration the incidents concerning the employee which relates to his behavioral conduct from his employment records and after enquiring with his colleagues.
