Transfer Certificate (TC) Format Explained
A Transfer Certificate (TC), commonly called a School Leaving Certificate, is the document a school issues when a student leaves — on completing the highest class offered, relocating, or moving to another school. The receiving school almost always asks for it at admission, so the TC needs to be accurate, signed and stamped by the issuing school. It records who the student is, how long and up to which class they studied, their conduct, and that their dues are clear.
There is no single national TC layout, but a correct transfer certificate format — including the CBSE TC format most affiliated schools follow — contains the same core fields. Include all of these so the certificate reads as a complete, professional school document.
- School detailsSchool name, full address and (the school's own) affiliation line. No board logo or emblem — those are reserved for official board documents.
- Certificate numbersBook number, serial / TC number, admission number and, where applicable, the PEN / APAAR ID and registration number.
- Student detailsStudent name, father's and mother's name, gender, nationality, religion / category, and date of birth in figures and in words.
- Admission & class historyDate of first admission and the class admitted to, plus the class the student was last studying / has now left.
- Academic progressWhether qualified for promotion (and to which class), subjects studied, the last board exam taken/result, and the number of working vs present days.
- Fees & concessionsThe month up to which fees are paid, any dues pending, and the nature of any fee concession availed.
- Conduct & activitiesGeneral conduct/character, NCC/Scout/Guide category, and notable co-curricular or extra-curricular activities.
- Dates & signaturesDate of application, date the name was struck off, date of issue, plus class-teacher and principal signatures and the school seal.
Below is a safe, generic example of how a Transfer Certificate lays out. It uses only a sample school’s own details — no board logo or government emblem is shown.

| Admission No. | ADM-2025-018 |
| Name of student | Aarav Sharma |
| Father's / Mother's name | Rajesh Sharma / Priya Sharma |
| Date of birth (in words) | 14 Aug 2015 (Fourteenth August Two Thousand Fifteen) |
| Class last studied | Class X (Ten) |
| Whether qualified for promotion | Yes — promoted to Class XI |
| Dues paid up to | May 2026 (no dues pending) |
| Date of leaving / issue | 31st May, 2026 |

CBSE TC format note: CBSE-affiliated schools follow essentially the same field list, usually with the bilingual (Hindi / English) labels this tool produces, and add the student’s PEN / APAAR ID and the school’s affiliation details. The exact wording is set by each school; the issuing school’s signature and seal are what make any TC valid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CBSE TC format?
The CBSE TC (Transfer Certificate) format lists the school details, the book/serial and admission numbers, the student’s name with parents’ names, gender, nationality and date of birth in figures and words, the date and class of first admission, the class last studied, whether the student qualified for promotion, the subjects studied, the last board exam/result, working vs present days, the month up to which fees are paid, general conduct, and the dates of application, name-strike-off and issue — finished with the class-teacher and principal signatures and the school seal. CBSE schools typically print it bilingually in Hindi and English. This generator produces that exact field layout automatically.
What is a Transfer Certificate (TC)?
A Transfer Certificate, also called a School Leaving Certificate, is the document a school issues when a student leaves it — whether on completing the school’s highest class, relocating, or transferring elsewhere. It certifies the student’s admission and academic history, conduct and that fees are clear, and the receiving school usually requires it before granting admission.
Is the TC made with this tool official or legally valid?
No. This is a free drafting and printing tool. A valid Transfer Certificate must be issued by the school, carry the authorised class-teacher / principal signatures and the official school seal, and use the school’s own registers as the source of truth. Use this tool to prepare and print the TC, then get it signed and stamped by the issuing school.
Does it create a bilingual Hindi / English TC?
Yes. The transfer certificate is laid out with bilingual Hindi / English field labels, which is the format most Indian schools — including CBSE-affiliated schools — use. The values you type appear alongside the standard labels.
Is the Transfer Certificate the same as a School Leaving Certificate?
Yes — in Indian schools the terms are used interchangeably. "Transfer Certificate (TC)" and "School Leaving Certificate (SLC)" both refer to the document issued when a student leaves a school, with the same core fields.
Is this transfer certificate generator really free?
Yes. You can create and download documents for free, with no sign-up or watermark.
Can I add my school logo to the TC?
Yes. You can add your school name, address and your own logo, plus principal and class-teacher signature areas and a space for the school seal. No board logos or government emblems are added, since those are reserved for official board-issued documents.
Can I generate TCs for many students at once?
Here you create them one student at a time for free, which is ideal for the occasional leaving certificate. If you need to issue Transfer Certificates for a whole batch of leaving students — auto-filled from your school records — that is exactly what Inforida’s Nucleus school platform does in a few clicks. See the call-to-action below.
Fill in the student, admission and academic details, add your school name and logo, and download a school-ready A4 PDF you can print, sign, stamp and hand over. The tool keeps the standard TC fields in the right order so the document reads like a proper school leaving certificate every time.
