TNPSC Group 2 2026 Prelims Question Paper (01-Nov-2026)
The correct answer is

Yours lovingly

A business letter is a formal letter, so its complimentary close must be formal and impersonal.

‘Yours faithfully’ is used when the recipient is addressed as Sir/Madam; ‘Yours sincerely’ is used when the recipient is addressed by name; ‘Yours truly’ is a formal close common in business correspondence. All three are acceptable in business letters.

‘Yours lovingly’ expresses affection and is used only in personal, informal letters to family members or close friends. It is never used to close a business letter.

Yours lovingly option is correct.
