What to Focus On

  • Formal letters are written to officials, not to friends or family
  • They must have a clearly stated subject (विषय)
  • Language should be respectful, formal, and to the point

  • Sender's address is written at the top-left
  • Subject (विषय) must be clearly and concisely stated
  • Salutation for formal letters: मान्यवर महोदय / श्रीमान जी

  • Application letters (आवेदन-पत्र) are for requesting facilities or permissions
  • Complaint letters (शिकायती पत्र) highlight problems and demand action
  • Letters to editors reach the public and authorities simultaneously

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Formal letters (औपचारिक पत्र) and informal letters (अनौपचारिक पत्र) follow the same format — only the language differs.

The 'विषय' (Subject) line in a formal letter is optional — if the letter is well-written, it is not needed.

You can write the sender's address anywhere — top-left, top-right, or even after the date. It does not matter.
