Leave from work

College or school

Missed classes, attendance shortfall or a missed internal assessment.

Other official leave

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

Acceptance depends on the receiving organisation’s requirements. Check whether they need a specific format before you apply.

How it works

  1. Apply online

    Tell us what the certificate is for, the dates and your symptoms or condition. Choose a delivery option and pay.

  2. A doctor reviews your application

    A registered medical practitioner reviews it. They may ask for more information, a call or teleconsultation, reports, or an in-person examination.

  3. Receive it if approved

    The signed certificate is sent by WhatsApp and email. If it can’t be issued, a refund follows our refund policy.

Many applications can be assessed remotely. The doctor may recommend an in-person examination or additional tests where clinically required.

Questions

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.
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 ₹149. The doctor completes it only with what they can certify.
How much does a sick leave certificate cost?
Standard is ₹499 and aims to reach you within 24 hours of payment. Express is ₹799 and aims for about 60 minutes. The price is the same whatever the doctor decides; a faster option only moves your application up the review queue.
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.
