Indemnity Bond & Indian advocat for UK

you can execute the indemnity bond in plain paper in u.k., get it notarised there, get the counter signature of the Indian embassy and then send it to ur friend in India. Then your friend can get it adjudicated here and pay the requisite stamp duty of rs.100/-. Then it becomes a valid document and can be produced to the company with request to re issue the cheque. Best of luck

Thanks Mugundhan, that's very helpful :-)

Where can I find the appropriate legal language for the document? Is there a template somewhere on this site?

Usually every company or institution do have their own format or insist on a specific format of an indemnity bond. So check it out whether they have any format. If they say that they don't have their own format, you can draft it yourselves. You have to state the facts and the important thing is that you have to declare that you will indemnify the company against any loss if any which it may incur on account of re issuing the cheque for you.You also have to give a declaration that you would not claim any further money. But first ask for format if any in the company.

Yes, Mr. Mugundhan, Lawyer is absolutely correct in nswering to the query of Mr. Sarah Lloyd Hughes.

I fully concur with the answer.
