A resignation letter in Marathi (राजीनामा पत्र) is a short formal letter that tells your employer you are leaving your job. It states your name, your position, your last working day and a polite thank-you. In Maharashtra, a Marathi letter is often the right choice for schools, cooperative banks, local offices and family-run businesses. Corporate and IT companies usually expect English.
This guide gives you the format, ready-to-copy Marathi samples with English meaning, useful words, and mistakes to avoid. If you also want the English version, see our resignation letter format page.
What Is a Resignation Letter in Marathi?
It is the same document as an English resignation letter, written in Marathi. It is your written proof that you resigned on a particular date. It also starts your notice period and protects your final settlement, experience certificate and relieving letter.
A good Marathi resignation letter has five parts:
- Date and the recipient’s name and designation
- Subject line (विषय: राजीनामा पत्र)
- A clear statement that you are resigning
- Notice period and last working day
- A thank-you note and your signature
When Should You Write It in Marathi?
| Situation | Language to use | Why |
| Marathi-medium school or college | Marathi | Management and records are in Marathi |
| Cooperative bank, society, local trust | Marathi | Official work is done in Marathi |
| Small shop, factory or family business | Marathi | Owner and staff speak Marathi |
| Government office in Maharashtra | Marathi or English | Follow the office’s usual practice |
| IT company, MNC, startup | English | Internal HR systems use English |
If you are unsure, ask your HR or reporting manager. Some companies want both versions, one in Marathi and one in English.

Marathi Resignation Email Subject Lines
If you send the letter by email, keep the subject short:

Attach the signed letter as a PDF and write two lines in the email body. Our resignation letter email page has a full email format you can reuse.
How to Write It Step by Step
- Check your notice period. Look at your offer letter or appointment letter. Most private jobs ask for 30 to 90 days, and it varies by contract.
- Write the date and address it to the right person. Usually this is your reporting manager or the principal or HR head.
- State the resignation in the first paragraph. Do not hide it behind a long introduction.
- Give your last working day clearly. Count the notice days and write the exact date.
- Offer a handover. One sentence promising to train a colleague builds goodwill.
- Thank them and sign. Keep the tone respectful even if you are unhappy.
- Keep a copy. Get a signed acknowledgment or save the sent email.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Complaining about the manager or salary in the letter
- Forgetting the last working day
- Using very heavy, old-fashioned Marathi that sounds unnatural
- Mixing English and Marathi words randomly in formal sentences
- Not keeping a copy or acknowledgment
- Resigning verbally and skipping the written letter
Once your employer accepts, you may also receive a reply. Our resignation acceptance letter page shows what that looks like. If you change your mind, see the resignation withdrawal letter page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Marathi word for resignation letter?
It is राजीनामा पत्र (rājīnāmā patra). The word राजीनामा means resignation.
Is a resignation letter in Marathi valid?
Yes. A signed letter in Marathi is valid if your employer accepts it and it clearly states your intent to resign and your last working day. For corporate jobs, check whether HR wants an English copy too.
How many days of notice should I give?
Follow your employment contract. Thirty days is common in private jobs, while some roles need 60 or 90 days. Government and school jobs may follow their own service rules.
Do I need to give a reason for resigning?
No. A short reason such as personal reasons, family reasons or a new opportunity is enough.
Can I send a resignation letter by email or WhatsApp?
Email is accepted by most employers. WhatsApp alone is risky because it is not a formal record. Send the signed PDF by email and, if possible, submit a hard copy.
What is the difference between a resignation letter and a relieving letter?
You write the resignation letter. The employer issues the relieving letter (कार्यमुक्ती पत्र) after your notice period to confirm you are released from duty.
Should I write the letter by hand or type it?
Either works. A typed letter looks cleaner, but a neat handwritten letter is common in schools and small offices. Always sign it by hand.
Conclusion
A resignation letter in Marathi should be short, polite and clear. Say that you are resigning, mention your notice period and last working day, offer to hand over your work, and thank your employer. Pick Marathi when your workplace uses it, and English when the company works in English. Copy any sample above, replace the brackets with your details, and you are ready to submit.
