What is the difference? Hi, I caught up two words: ''Needful'' and ''Necessary''. I found them have the same meaning but I don't know how to use in which context. Could somebody help me, please?

Don't worry about 'needful'. It isn't a word which you will ever hear in standard English.

For some odd reason, the phrase 'do the needful' has emerged ( or survived?) in Indian English. It is not used elsewhere.

'Necessary' is an important word - 'needful' is not.

'Needful' is extremely outdated, and it is never used by native speakers in modern English. You should forget about it.
