Notice Writing – What is a notice? Any official document used for formal platforms which act as a medium to pass information to a certain group of people regarding a specific official matter is said to be a notice. In India, notices are published in both the government as well as private organizations.

Notice Writing also keeps people informed about past happenings or upcoming situations. Generally, notices are also used in educational institutions, any public place, or as a form of legal notice to a certain group of targeted audience and even printed out in the newspapers.

Notice is a simple document written in a very simple language that is proven with facts and is very brief and precise.
