Online Sick Leave Certificate in Dum Dum
For airport crews, IT staff, metro commuters, shopkeepers and teachers in Kolkata's northern suburbs.
Dum Dum is home to Kolkata's airport, a busy metro and railway interchange, the markets of Nagerbazar and Dum Dum Cantonment, and thousands of people who commute to offices in Sector V, New Town and central Kolkata. When illness keeps you home, you can request an online sick leave certificate in Dum Dum from your phone, and a registered doctor reviews it.
Once a doctor approves, the certificate comes to you as a PDF.
Plain sick leave requests usually take around 40 minutes to review.
Airport Staff
Ground handlers, security staff, cleaners, cab drivers and airline crews at the airport work shifts round the clock. Night shifts and noise wear people down. Airline and ground staff often have strict rules about returning after illness, so check what HR needs first.
Sector V and New Town Commuters
Many people from Dum Dum work in IT and back offices in Sector V and New Town. If you're too ill for the commute, apply from home and send the certificate to HR. Most accept a PDF.
Metro and Railway Commuters
Dum Dum is one of Kolkata's busiest interchanges. Crowded trains spread colds and flu, especially in winter. Railway and metro employees use their own medical systems.
Nagerbazar and Cantonment Shops
Shopkeepers and staff in the local markets usually want a short note for anything over a day. Most accept the PDF on WhatsApp.
Teachers
Private school teachers usually need a note after a day or two off. West Bengal government teachers should check their department's rules first.

- Fever readings and any test results
- Medicines you've taken
- Which dates you need
Waterlogging and Dengue
Heavy rain leaves low-lying lanes waterlogged, and dengue rises every monsoon across Kolkata's suburbs. A fever with severe body ache, rash or bleeding gums needs a doctor in person and a test.
An Airport Worker's Request
A ground handler at the airport gets dengue in September. After a test, his employer wants a certificate for six days and a fitness note before he returns to the ramp. He applies and uploads the report. The doctor reviews it and issues a certificate for the days the illness explains, with a note on returning.
Dum Dum Through the Year
- March to May: humid heat and storms
- June to September: monsoon, waterlogging and dengue
- October: Durga Puja
- December to February: cool, smoggy winters
Leave for Someone Else
If you need leave because a family member is admitted at a hospital in Kolkata, rather than being ill yourself, ask for a caretaker certificate.
If It's Not Approved
The doctor won't sign leave your symptoms don't justify, and will explain why. PulseQuik support can help with payment questions.

Back to Work
After dengue, many people feel weak for a week or more. Shift work and long commutes make it harder. If your employer wants a fitness note before you return, add it to your request.
Cab Drivers
App cab and taxi drivers at the airport work long, irregular hours. If an aggregator or owner wants proof you were unwell, you can apply. Drivers renewing a commercial licence need Form 1A.
Teachers and Tutors
Private school teachers and tuition teachers often take classes from morning to night. Losing your voice or running a fever can mean missed batches. If a school or coaching centre wants proof, you can apply.
Small Factories
Small units around Dum Dum and Belgharia make plastics, printing and engineering goods. Workers covered by ESI need an ESI doctor's certificate for sickness benefit.
Paper Copies
Some offices and schools want a printed copy. Print the PDF and keep the original on your phone.
Lake Town and Baguiati Offices
Staff at offices, clinics and showrooms in Lake Town, Baguiati and Kestopur work long hours with heavy commutes. Most employers accept a PDF certificate after a day or two off. Check what your HR needs.
