The terms circular and notice are both used for official communication, but they serve different purposes and audiences.
🔹 Circular
A circular is a formal document sent to a large group of people within an organization.
It is used to inform, instruct, or announce policies, rules, or important updates.
Same message is sent to many recipients at once.
Usually more detailed and formal.
Example:
A company sending a circular about a new leave policy to all employees.
🔹 Notice
A notice is a short, formal announcement meant for public display or specific individuals/groups.
It is used to inform about events, meetings, or important information.
Usually brief and to the point.
Often displayed on notice boards, websites, or public places.
Example:
A school putting up a notice about an upcoming holiday.
