This tool drafts an affidavit in standard legal format and language. Its legal validity depends on getting it printed on the correct value of non-judicial stamp paper for your state (where required), signing it in front of a Notary Public or Oath Commissioner, and their attestation. This is a drafting aid, not legal advice — for court proceedings or high-value matters, have an advocate review the final wording.
Almost always, yes. An affidavit is a sworn statement, and Indian authorities (passport office, banks, government departments, courts) generally only accept one that has been signed before and attested by a Notary Public or a Judicial/Executive Magistrate acting as an Oath Commissioner. Carry a valid photo ID when you go for notarization.
Most affidavits in India are printed on non-judicial stamp paper, and the value is set by each state's Stamp Act — commonly in the ₹10 to ₹100 range for personal-purpose affidavits (name change, address, income, DOB), though some states use e-stamping or franking instead of physical stamp paper. Court affidavits may need to be on judicial stamp paper in a court-prescribed format. Confirm the exact value with your local stamp vendor, notary or the receiving authority, since requirements vary by state and purpose.
An affidavit is a written statement sworn on oath before a Notary Public, Oath Commissioner or Magistrate — making a false statement in it is punishable as perjury. A declaration is usually just a signed statement without that sworn, notarized character, and carries less evidentiary weight. Where an authority specifically asks for an "affidavit", a self-signed declaration will usually not be accepted in its place.
Court affidavits (for example, filed with a petition or in reply to one) often follow a specific cause-title format prescribed by that court's rules, and are typically sworn before the court's own Oath Commissioner or Registrar. This tool is built for common personal-purpose affidavits — for litigation, have your advocate draft or review the affidavit in the format your court requires.
