Sick leave certificate for common conditions

The days beside each condition are what a doctor commonly certifies for an uncomplicated course in an adult with desk or light duties. The doctor who assesses you decides the dates, and may ask for a report first.

Every condition and its usual leave

Something else? Choose Other condition in the application and describe it; the doctor records the actual diagnosis.

Get your medical certificate in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Submit your request

  2. Step 2

    A registered doctor reviews it

    Applications are reviewed in the order received during doctor hours; the priority package (₹1,199) is reviewed within 30 minutes. The doctor may call you, ask for a report or ask to see you. If they cannot certify what you asked for, you are told why and a refund follows the refund policy.

  3. Step 3

    Receive your certificate

    The signed PDF arrives on WhatsApp and email, with the doctor’s name, registration number and a QR code. If you chose the handwritten package, the original on the doctor’s letterhead follows by courier; dispatch is confirmed after the doctor signs.

Other official leave

Any organisation that asks for a medical certificate to support sick leave.

Office leave from anywhere in India

Apply from Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru or anywhere else; the doctor reviews your application online while you rest at home.

Prepare your application

  2. Recipient details and the dates you need
  3. Relevant medical history, current medicines and any records

Upload any required format and evidence while applying. The doctor may ask for more information before deciding.

What you get

A medical certificate is a doctor’s professional opinion. It is only worth something if a registered practitioner assessed you and stands behind what they signed.

That is why there is no automatic issuance here, and why some applications need a call, reports or an examination first.

Sick leave calculator

Pick your condition and, if you like, the dates you mean to ask for. You see the number of days a doctor commonly certifies for it, and what the application will ask you to attach at that length.

  • The range is a guide. The doctor who assesses you decides the dates.
  • Every application is reviewed by a doctor after you submit your details and any reports.
  • The days can go up or down after the doctor has spoken to you.

The full guide, every condition

Dates are optional. The guide reads the 77 conditions the application form offers, and the same day limits.

Choose a condition to see the leave a doctor usually certifies for it, the symptoms the application asks about, and any record worth uploading.

Questions

Can I apply for a sick note online in India?
Yes. Fill in the form with your dates and symptoms, and a registered doctor reviews it online. If the doctor can certify your illness, you receive a signed sick leave certificate (doctor's note) as a PDF.
How do I get a medical certificate for sick leave?
Fill in the form with the dates you were unwell, your symptoms and any reports, then pay for the package you choose. A registered doctor reviews it and may message or call you. If they can certify your illness, you receive a signed PDF with a QR code. If not, nothing is issued and the refund policy applies.
Who can give a medical certificate for leave?
A registered medical practitioner (MBBS or higher, registered with the National Medical Commission or a State Medical Council) who has assessed your illness. On PingMeDoc every certificate is reviewed and signed by such a doctor, and their registration number is printed on it.
Is a certificate issued online valid?
A certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner after an appropriate assessment is a valid medical certificate, whether the assessment was remote or in person. Whether a particular organisation accepts it depends on its own rules, so check whether they need a specific format or an in-person examination.
Will my office accept an online sick leave certificate?
Most employers accept a certificate from a registered doctor that states the dates and that you were unfit for work. Some ask for their own format or an in-person examination, so check your HR policy first; if they have a format, upload it while applying.
I am in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi or Bengaluru. Can I apply?
Yes. The certificate is the same wherever you are in India, so the application is the same from any city. The doctor reviewing it is registered in India, and the certificate can be checked from anywhere using its QR code.
Can the certificate cover days that have already passed?
Only if the doctor can assess them. Leave that began shortly before you apply can often be certified from your history; the doctor will not certify dates they cannot assess, and requests more than six months in the past are not accepted.
Can the doctor use my organisation's format?
Yes. Upload the format while applying; it adds ₹250. The doctor completes it only with what they can certify.
How much does a sick leave certificate cost?
Digital packages start at ₹699. Handwritten scans and shipping are separate package choices. Your selected package, total, review timing and refund terms are shown before payment. Issuance depends on the clinician’s assessment.
What happens if the doctor can't issue the certificate?
The doctor may first ask for more information, a call or reports. If they decide a certificate isn't appropriate, it isn't issued and a refund is processed under our refund policy, which may deduct a doctor review fee.
How can my employer or college check the certificate?
Each certificate has a unique number and a QR code. Scanning the code or opening its verification link confirms the certificate was issued through PingMeDoc and has not been revoked.

Check the validity of a certificate

Every certificate carries a QR code and a verification code. An employer, college or RTO enters the code and sees who issued it, when, and whether it is still valid.

Verify a certificate

Enter the code printed under the QR on the certificate.

How verification works

The verification code is the final part of the certificate QR link. Have a printed document number? Use document verification.

Apply for a sick leave certificate

Applying takes a few minutes. A registered doctor reviews every application, and a refund follows our refund policy if it can’t be issued.
