What is a salary certificate?
A salary certificate is an essential document that verifies an individual’s income and employment details.

Additionally, employers may also require a salary certificate when providing an employee with a housing allowance or a vehicle loan.
As an employer, you will need to provide salary certificates to your employees because your employees will be required to share their salary details with various entities such as banks, government agencies, and other organisations.
