sir what would the indemnified amount? plus could this indemnity bond culd be made in favour of the company name or the HR or is it mandatory to be made in favour of managing director?

Notes: Indemnified Amount: This amount usually covers any potential legal and financial liabilities the company might face due to the issuance of the duplicate Form 16. It should be discussed with the company's legal or HR department. Favour of Indemnity: The bond can be made in favor of the company (typically addressed to the HR Manager or Managing Director). It is not mandatory to be made in favor of the Managing Director, but it should be addressed to a senior authority within the company. Stamp Paper: The bond should be executed on a non-judicial stamp paper of appropriate value as per the state laws where the bond is being executed. Witnesses: Ensure that the bond is signed in the presence of two witnesses who also sign the bond. Consult Legal Advisor: Always consult with a legal advisor to ensure the format complies with the company's policies and legal requirements. This format should serve as a good starting point for creating an indemnity bond for obtaining a duplicate Form 16.
