- Aadhaar Name/DOB Correction DeclarationYour name or date of birth is wrong on your Aadhaar card — a spelling error made at enrolment, a name that changed on marriage, or a date of birth recorded from an estimate rather than a document — and the Unique Identification Authority of India's own correction process, through the Self Service Update Portal, the myAadhaar portal, or an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, asks you to submit a document it accepts as proof, together with a signed declaration of what the correct particulars are and how the error arose. Aadhaar enrolment and update is governed by the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016 and the regulations made under it, which apply identically wherever in India the correction is made; what differs between Punjab and Chandigarh is only where this declaration is notarised, if the update centre you use asks for a notarised copy rather than a plain signed one. Not for: adding or correcting a mobile number or email address, which needs no supporting document and no declaration; correcting an address, which Aadhaar allows on a simple self-declaration without independent proof in defined circumstances; or a first Aadhaar enrolment, which is a different process entirely.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Affidavit of One and the Same PersonUse this when the same person's name appears differently across their papers — a maiden vs married name, an initial expanded in one paper but not another, a spelling/transliteration difference (common where a jamabandi was transliterated from Urdu or a regional script) — and an office needs assurance they're one person. Needed at: mutation, when a deed name doesn't match the jamabandi; registration; bank KYC; EPFO, LIC, passport, RTO; an electricity correction; a society; or an employer. It reconciles name versions — it does NOT change your name (a deed of change plus Gazette publication does) and does NOT correct Aadhaar/PAN. Nominal duty, notarised, not registered.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Date of Birth AffidavitA sworn declaration of a date of birth, for use where a birth certificate was never issued, cannot be traced, or the receiving office asks for a supporting affidavit alongside whatever other proof of age exists — school or college admission, a first employment record, a pension or provident fund claim, or an application where the birth was never registered with the municipal or panchayat authority at the time. Sworn by the person themself for their own date of birth, or by a parent or guardian for a minor's. Not for correcting a date of birth already recorded in your Aadhaar — use the Aadhaar Name/DOB Correction Declaration, which is UIDAI's own correction process, for that.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Gazette Name Change ApplicationFor an adult who has already sworn a name-change affidavit (see the separate Name Change Affidavit template in this library) and now wants the change formally published in the Gazette of India — the further step several authorities specifically insist on: government and public-sector service records, some professional council or registration bodies, and any counter that asks for a "public notice" of the change rather than the affidavit alone. This template bundles, in one filing: the covering application to the Department of Publication, the affidavit it must annex, and the draft text for the newspaper advertisement the Department's own instructions ask for alongside the Gazette entry. Filed through the Department's own e-Gazette name-change service at egazette.gov.in, or by post to the Department's office, whose current address that portal publishes. The Gazette procedure itself is a single central-government process common to every applicant in India; what this template localises is the applicant's own paperwork — the affidavit and the newspaper choice — for Punjab and Chandigarh. Not for a company, trust or firm changing its name — that goes through the Registrar of Companies or Firms, not this route.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Minor Name Change Affidavit (by Parent)A minor's name needs to be corrected or changed on record — a spelling error carried over from the birth certificate, a name never formally recorded at birth now being added, or a family's considered decision to change it — and, because the child cannot swear an affidavit themselves, a parent or guardian does it on the minor's behalf. Used to support a correction in the Register of Births under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, a change in school records, or a passport application for the minor. This affidavit is ordinarily one of several papers such a correction needs, not the only one — the Registrar, school or passport office will commonly also ask for the original birth certificate and, sometimes, other supporting proof. It changes only the minor's name, never the minor's identity, parentage or date of birth. Not for an adult changing their own name — an adult swears that affidavit personally, in their own words, not through a parent.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Name Change Affidavit (Adult)An adult wanting to formally change their name — on marriage, on religious conversion, to correct a spelling that has carried across documents, for personal preference, or for astrological or numerological reasons — needs a sworn affidavit before most authorities will update a record. This affidavit alone is what banks, employers, schools and universities commonly accept to update their own records in the new name. It is also Step 1 before the separate Gazette Name Change Application in this library, which some authorities — government service records, some professional registrations, a passport re-issue in certain categories — additionally require. Not for a minor's name: a minor's change is affirmed by a natural guardian in different words, which this template does not provide. Punjab and Chandigarh: sworn before a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner, then produced directly at the counter that needs the update, or annexed to the Gazette application.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Name Change after Marriage AffidavitA spouse — most often, but not only, a wife adopting her husband's surname — who has changed their name because of marriage and needs a sworn affidavit linking the old name to the new one, with the marriage that caused the change, to update Aadhaar, PAN, a passport, bank accounts and KYC records, a driving licence, an employer's service records, or educational certificates. Unlike a bare name-change affidavit, this one recites the marriage itself — the spouse, the date, the place and whether it is registered — because that is exactly what UIDAI, a passport counter or a bank asks a post-marriage name change to show. Not for a name changed for any other reason — religious conversion, a spelling correction, or personal preference unconnected to marriage: use the Name Change Affidavit (Adult) in this library instead, which carries no marriage particulars. Not for a minor child's name, which a natural guardian affirms in different words using the Minor Name Change Affidavit. Punjab and Chandigarh: sworn before a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner, then produced directly at the counter that needs the update, or annexed to whatever application that counter requires alongside it.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Self-Declaration / Character AffidavitA general-purpose sworn declaration of good character and, where relevant, of criminal antecedents (or their absence) — asked for in job applications, admissions, licence applications (arms, liquor vend, private security and similar), tenancy verification, passport applications and a range of government forms across Punjab and Chandigarh that simply want "a self-declaration/character affidavit" annexed, without prescribing their own format. Not a substitute for a Police Character Certificate or Police Clearance Certificate where the receiving authority specifically asks for one from the police or Passport Seva — this affidavit is the applicant's own sworn word, not a police verification, and the two are commonly asked for together rather than as alternatives.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਆਮਦਨ, ਨਿਵਾਸ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਣੀ ਸਰਟੀਫ਼ਿਕੇਟ
ਇਹਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾਤਰ ਹਲਫ਼ਨਾਮੇ ਤਹਿਸੀਲਦਾਰ, ਐਸਡੀਐਮ ਜਾਂ ਡਿਪਟੀ ਕਮਿਸ਼ਨਰ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੱਗਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਸਰਟੀਫ਼ਿਕੇਟ ਦੀ ਅਰਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ — ਆਮਦਨ, ਡੋਮੀਸਾਈਲ, ਆਰਥਿਕ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਵਰਗ, ਪਿਛੜੀ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਣੀ/ਅਨੁਸੂਚਿਤ ਜਾਤੀ, ਜਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਦਿਹਾਤੀ ਜਾਂ ਸਰਹੱਦੀ ਪਿੰਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਿਹਾਇਸ਼ — ਜਿੱਥੇ ਫ਼ਾਰਮ ਖ਼ੁਦ ਹੀ ਬਾਕੀ ਕਾਗਜ਼ਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਇੱਕ ਹਲਫ਼ਨਾਮਾ ਮੰਗਦਾ ਹੈ। ਬਾਕੀ ਬੈਂਕ ਜਾਂ ਸਕੂਲ ਲਈ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਪਤਾ ਸਾਬਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਾਂ ਹਰਿਆਣਾ ਦੀ ਫੈਮਿਲੀ ਆਈਡੀ (ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਪਛਾਣ ਪੱਤਰ) ਵਿੱਚ ਆਮਦਨ ਅਤੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਵੇਰਵੇ ਠੀਕ ਕਰਵਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ।
- BC/SC Certificate Supporting AffidavitFor an applicant seeking a Backward Class (BC) or Scheduled Caste (SC) certificate from the Tehsildar/SDM in Punjab or the Deputy Commissioner's office in Chandigarh, where the application asks for a sworn affidavit supporting the claimed caste, native place and — for a Backward Class claim only — that the family is outside the creamy layer. A Scheduled Caste claim carries no creamy layer exclusion: the creamy layer test applies only to Backward Classes/OBCs, following Indra Sawhney v. Union of India. This affidavit branches its declarations by which of the two is being claimed, so the creamy-layer questions appear only for a Backward Class claim. Used for admissions, recruitment and promotion where caste-based reservation applies, and renewed with a fresh affidavit whenever the certificate itself is renewed — a Backward Class certificate is commonly revalidated periodically; a Scheduled Caste certificate, once issued, is ordinarily not time-limited in the same way, but confirm the current requirement with the issuing office.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Border Area Certificate Affidavit (Punjab)For an applicant from a village near the international border who is seeking a Border Area Certificate from the Tehsildar/SDM in Punjab — the certificate behind the Border Area Meritorious Candidates (BAMC) quota in admission to Punjab's medical, dental, engineering and certain other professional colleges, and behind Border Area Development Programme benefits. Available only within Punjab's notified border belt — ordinarily a village within the notified distance of the international border in the districts of Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur and Fazilka, as the Punjab Government's own border-belt notification draws the line village by village. Chandigarh has no international border and no equivalent certificate, so this affidavit is written for Punjab only.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Domicile Certificate Supporting AffidavitFor an applicant seeking a Domicile Certificate from the Tehsildar/SDM in Punjab, through the Suwidha Kendra or edistrict.punjabgovt.gov.in, or from the Deputy Commissioner's office in Chandigarh, through Sampark — where the application asks for a sworn affidavit supporting the claim of continuous residence within the State or the Union Territory. Used for domicile-based admission quotas and for government recruitment that reserves posts to residents. Not for a Backward Class or Scheduled Caste claim, which is a different certificate with its own creamy-layer question — use the BC/SC Certificate Supporting Affidavit for that. Not simply to prove your present address for a bank, school or utility purpose, which does not need a qualifying period of residence — use the Residence Proof Affidavit for that.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- EWS Certificate AffidavitFor a candidate applying for an Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) certificate — the income-and-asset self-declaration the Tehsildar or Sub-Divisional Magistrate's office in Punjab, or the Deputy Commissioner's office in Chandigarh, asks for before issuing the certificate that carries the 10% EWS reservation under the 103rd Constitutional Amendment, 2019, in admissions and public employment. The certificate itself is issued by the SDM/Tehsildar in Punjab, through the Suwidha Kendra or edistrict.punjabgovt.gov.in, or by the Deputy Commissioner's office in Chandigarh through Sampark; this affidavit is the sworn income-and-asset declaration that application asks the applicant to annex. EWS is available only to a family not already covered by any existing Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe or Other Backward Classes (non-creamy-layer) reservation — confirm that before using this affidavit, since it is the wrong document for a candidate who already holds a caste certificate under one of those categories. The certificate is ordinarily valid for one financial year, so a fresh affidavit is sworn each time it is renewed.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Family ID (PPP) Income/Member Correction Self-Declaration (Haryana)Your Family ID (Parivar Pehchan Patra) in Haryana shows the wrong annual income, is missing a family member, still lists someone who has died or moved out, or has a member's name, date of birth or relationship wrong — and the correction has to be requested through the Family ID portal or a Common Service Centre, together with a signed self-declaration of what the record should say and a supporting document. The Family ID / Parivar Pehchan Patra is a scheme of the Government of Haryana, administered by the Citizen Resources Information Department, and does not exist in Punjab or in Chandigarh, so this document is drafted for Haryana specifically rather than for the two jurisdictions the rest of this library serves. Not for: a first-time Family ID registration for a family that does not yet have one, which is a separate enrolment process; or a grievance about a scheme benefit denied despite a correct Family ID, which is taken up with the scheme department concerned, not through this correction module.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Income AffidavitFor an applicant seeking an Income Certificate from the Tehsildar/SDM in Punjab, through the Suwidha Kendra or edistrict.punjabgovt.gov.in, or from the Deputy Commissioner's office in Chandigarh, through Sampark — where the application asks for a sworn affidavit declaring the applicant's or family's annual income and its sources. Used to support a fee concession, a scholarship, a subsidy, a legal-aid application, or a court proceeding that asks for proof of income. Not for an Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) certificate, which has its own income-and-asset affidavit with the specific thresholds and the non-reservation-overlap condition that certificate needs — use the EWS Certificate Affidavit for that. Not for an income declaration made to a bank or lender in support of a loan, which is a different document addressed to a different reader — use the Income and Employment Declaration for a Loan for that.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Residence Proof AffidavitA sworn statement of your current residential address, for a purpose that asks for one and where a utility bill, rent agreement or ration card is unavailable or is not by itself accepted — bank KYC, school or college admission, a gas or electricity connection, an address correction, or as one of the papers a passport or employment police verification asks for. Not for a Domicile Certificate application, which needs proof of a qualifying period of continuous residence in the State or Union Territory rather than a statement of your present address — use the Domicile Certificate Supporting Affidavit for that.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Rural Area Certificate Affidavit (Punjab)For an applicant seeking a Rural Area Certificate from the Tehsildar/SDM in Punjab, certifying ordinary residence in a rural, non-municipal area of the State — asked for by the rural-area weightage some Punjab professional college admissions (agriculture, veterinary and certain other courses) and some state recruitment and scheme notifications give to rural candidates, and as supporting proof for agricultural-scheme eligibility. "Rural" here means outside every Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat, and outside any area otherwise notified as urban — the same urban/rural line drawn in Punjab's own revenue and local-government notifications. Chandigarh has no equivalent scheme: the Union Territory has no revenue area notified as rural for this purpose, so this affidavit is written for Punjab only.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਲਾਇਸੰਸ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਟਿਲਿਟੀ ਕਨੈਕਸ਼ਨ
ਇਹ ਹਲਫ਼ਨਾਮੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਲਾਇਸੰਸ ਦੇਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਜਾਂ ਯੂਟਿਲਿਟੀ ਅਥਾਰਟੀ ਕੋਲ ਜਾਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਅਰਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਲੱਗਦੇ ਹਨ — ਨਵਾਂ ਜਾਂ ਨਵਿਆਇਆ ਹਥਿਆਰ ਲਾਇਸੰਸ, ਜਾਂ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਡੁਪਲੀਕੇਟ ਡਰਾਈਵਿੰਗ ਲਾਇਸੰਸ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਜਨਮ ਮਿਤੀ ਸਾਬਤ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਕੋਈ ਜਨਮ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਮੌਜੂਦ ਨਹੀਂ। ਬਾਕੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਮੌਤ, ਵਿਕਰੀ, ਕਿਰਾਏ ਜਾਂ ਘਰ ਦੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਮੈਂਬਰ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਸੰਭਾਲਣ ਉੱਤੇ ਬਿਜਲੀ, ਗੈਸ, ਜਾਂ ਪਾਣੀ-ਸੀਵਰ ਦੇ ਕਨੈਕਸ਼ਨ ਨੂੰ ਨਵੇਂ ਨਾਮ ਉੱਤੇ ਕਰਵਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ।
- Arms Licence Affidavit (Punjab/Haryana)You are applying for a fresh arms licence, its renewal, the addition of another firearm to an existing licence, or a duplicate licence in place of one lost or damaged, under the Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules, 2016, and the Licensing Authority's own application form asks for a sworn affidavit of your antecedents, fitness and purpose alongside it. The Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules, 2016 apply uniformly across India; the Licensing Authority for this affidavit is the District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner of the district in Punjab, or the Licensing Authority notified for the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and it is that office's own local verification — through the police station concerned — that the rest of the application turns on. Not for: a licence for a firearm used in film or theatre production, or an arms dealer's stock-in-trade beyond what a dealer's own licence covers, each of which follows a separate procedure under the Rules; or a permit to carry the weapon into another state, which is a separate authorisation.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Driving Licence AffidavitYou need a sworn affidavit to support a driving licence matter the Regional Transport Authority or Licensing Authority has no independent proof for — a duplicate licence after the original was lost or destroyed, your date of birth where no birth or matriculation certificate exists, a change of the address or the name recorded on your licence, or a parent's consent to a minor's learner's licence for a gearless motorcycle. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 apply uniformly across India, and licensing is now largely routed through the Sarathi and Parivahan portals; what is jurisdiction-specific here is the authority you file with — in Punjab the Regional Transport Authority or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate-cum-Licensing Authority of the district, in Chandigarh the Registering and Licensing Authority, U.T. Chandigarh — and where this affidavit is notarised. Not for: a fresh learner's or permanent licence application by an adult with the usual documents, which needs no affidavit; or a driving licence dispute, suspension or disqualification, which is a hearing before the Licensing Authority or a court, not an affidavit.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Electricity Connection Transfer AffidavitA domestic, commercial or industrial electricity connection has to move into a new name — because the person it stood in has died, because the premises it serves have been sold or let to someone else, or because another member of the same household is taking it over — and the distribution licensee (PSPCL in Punjab, or the department supplying electricity to Chandigarh) asks for an affidavit alongside its own name-transfer or mutation-of-connection form before it re-registers the account. The library also carries the Application for Transfer of Electricity Connection (Change of Name), which is the formal application used where the transfer follows a property mutation. This affidavit is the general sworn declaration a distribution office asks for alongside that application, or on its own for a same-household takeover that involves no mutation. Not for a first application for a new connection, which is a different form; for reconnection after disconnection for non-payment, which the office handles as a separate process; or a change of tariff category alone, without a change of the name the connection stands in.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Gas Connection Transfer AffidavitA domestic LPG or piped natural gas connection has to move into a new name — because the person it stood in has died, because the premises it serves have been sold or let to someone else, or because another member of the same household is taking it over — and the distributor (an Indian Oil, HP Gas or Bharat Gas agency, or a piped-gas utility) asks for an affidavit alongside its own transfer form before it re-registers the connection. The distributor's own transfer procedure follows the marketing discipline guidelines its oil marketing company issues, not a statute specific to Punjab or to Chandigarh, so what is jurisdiction-specific here is chiefly where this affidavit is notarised and on what value of stamp paper. Not for: a first application for a new gas connection, which is a different form; or a complaint about a distributor's refusal to transfer, which is taken up with the distributor and, if unresolved, with the oil marketing company's consumer grievance cell.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Water/Sewer Connection AffidavitYou are applying for a fresh water and sewerage connection, or continuing an existing one in your own name after buying, inheriting or renting the property, and the Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council or Chandigarh's Engineering / Public Health Wing asks for a sworn affidavit of ownership or occupancy alongside its own connection application form, to confirm who is asking for the connection and that the same property is not drawing a second, undeclared one. In Punjab this sits under the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976 for a Municipal Corporation area, the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 for a Municipal Council or Nagar Panchayat area, and the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board Act, 2018 where the Board itself operates the network; in Chandigarh the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh runs the network under the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976 as extended to the Union Territory. Not for: a complaint about a leaking pipe, low pressure or a blocked sewer at an already-connected property, which is a service request and not an affidavit; or a request to disconnect.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਪੈਨਸ਼ਨ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਸ਼ਨ ਕਾਰਡ
ਇੱਕ ਹਲਫ਼ਨਾਮਾ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਸੇਵਾ ਕੇਂਦਰ ਨੈੱਟਵਰਕ ਜਾਂ ਚੰਡੀਗੜ੍ਹ ਦੇ ਸਮਾਜ ਭਲਾਈ ਵਿਭਾਗ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਬੁਢਾਪਾ ਜਾਂ ਵਿਧਵਾ ਪੈਨਸ਼ਨ ਦੀ ਅਰਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ। ਦੂਜਾ ਰਾਸ਼ਨ ਕਾਰਡ ਦੀ ਅਰਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਜਨਮ ਜਾਂ ਵਿਆਹ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਮੈਂਬਰ ਨੂੰ ਜੋੜਿਆ ਜਾਵੇ, ਜਾਂ ਮੌਤ, ਵਿਆਹ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਜਾਣ ਜਾਂ ਘਰ ਛੱਡਣ ਉੱਤੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਹਟਾਇਆ ਜਾਵੇ।
- Old Age / Widow Pension AffidavitYou are applying for the Old Age Pension or the Widow Pension (also called Financial Assistance to a Destitute Woman) administered in Punjab by the Department of Social Security, Women and Child Development through the Sewa Kendra network, or in Chandigarh by the Social Welfare Department, Chandigarh Administration — and the application form asks for a sworn affidavit confirming your age, marital status, family income, residence, and that you are not already drawing a conflicting pension. Both schemes are welfare benefits, part-funded under the National Social Assistance Programme and topped up by the State or the Administration, sanctioned on age (or widowhood) and income criteria that are revised from time to time and checked again at renewal. This affidavit is filed with the first application and is commonly asked for again whenever the benefit comes up for renewal or review. Not for: a claim to a deceased government employee's family pension, which is a service-record matter for that employee's own department; or a claim to widow pension under the Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995, which the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation handles on its own form.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Ration Card AffidavitFor an application to the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department in Punjab, or the Food and Supplies Department in Chandigarh, for a new ration card, or to add a family member — on birth or on marriage into the family — or remove one — on death, on marriage out, or on the member permanently shifting to another household — from an existing card. This is the sworn declaration those departments ask an applicant to annex, confirming the family composition stated in the application and, importantly, that no member named is already covered under another ration card anywhere in India — the fact the National Food Security Act's one-card-per-family rule and Aadhaar seeding are both designed to catch. Filed through the Punjab Food Supply portal or a Suwidha Kendra, or Chandigarh's Sampark Kendra or e-District portal, alongside the department's own application form.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਗੁਆਚੇ ਦਸਤਾਵੇਜ਼ ਅਤੇ ਮੁਆਵਜ਼ਾ ਬਾਂਡ
ਜਨਰਲ ਇੰਡੈਮਨਿਟੀ ਬਾਂਡ ਉਹ ਵੱਡਾ ਵਾਅਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਕੋਈ ਬੈਂਕ, ਕੰਪਨੀ ਜਾਂ ਸੁਸਾਇਟੀ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕਹਿਣ ਉੱਤੇ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮੰਗਦੀ ਹੈ — ਜਿਵੇਂ ਅਸਲ ਰਸੀਦ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਫ਼ਿਕਸਡ ਡਿਪਾਜ਼ਿਟ ਜਾਰੀ ਕਰਨਾ, ਜਾਂ ਗੁਆਚੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ਦੀ ਡੁਪਲੀਕੇਟ ਦੇਣਾ। ਗੁਆਚੇ ਦਸਤਾਵੇਜ਼ ਦਾ ਹਲਫ਼ਨਾਮਾ ਇਸੇ ਦਾ ਛੋਟਾ, ਜੁੜਿਆ ਰੂਪ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਖ਼ਾਸ ਤੌਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਗੁਆਚੇ ਜਾਂ ਨਸ਼ਟ ਹੋਏ ਪਾਸਪੋਰਟ ਜਾਂ ਕੰਪਨੀ ਸ਼ੇਅਰ ਸਰਟੀਫ਼ਿਕੇਟ ਲਈ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ।
- General Indemnity BondSomeone — a bank, a company, a society, an authority or another private party — will only act, release something or accept a risk if you first promise in writing to make good any loss that decision causes them: releasing a fixed deposit without the original receipt, issuing a duplicate certificate, letting you proceed without a document they would normally insist on, or another one-off situation not already covered by a ready-made document elsewhere in this library. This is a general-purpose bond for exactly that situation — state what you are asking the Obligee to do or accept, and what you are indemnifying them against, and the Bond does the rest. It is a personal promise to pay, not a mortgage or a charge on any property, and it does not by itself make the Obligee do what Recital A describes; that agreement is separate, and this Bond only backs it. Not for: an indemnity a seller gives a buyer on a property sale, a tenant gives a landlord, or a co-borrower gives a lender — each of those relationships has its own purpose-built document elsewhere in this library, with the clauses that relationship specifically needs. Use this general bond only where none of those fits.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Lost Document Affidavit (Passport / Share Certificate)A sworn affidavit of loss, combined with an indemnity, for a passport or a company/body corporate share certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed — used to support either (a) a reissue or duplicate passport application under the Passport Rules, 1980, at a Passport Seva Kendra or Regional Passport Office, or (b) an application to a company, or its Registrar and Transfer Agent, for a duplicate share certificate under section 46 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 6 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014. Records the loss, the search made, whether a police report (FIR) or an online lost-property complaint was lodged, and whether a public notice was published, and indemnifies the receiving authority or company against the consequences of issuing a duplicate. Not for a lost marksheet, degree or academic certificate — use the Duplicate Marksheet / Lost Certificate Affidavit for that. Not for a lost title deed or other property document — use the Affidavit and Indemnity Bond for a Lost Title Deed for that. Not for a lost housing-society membership share certificate — use the Duplicate Share Certificate Application, which follows that society's own bye-laws, for that. Not for dematerialised (demat) shares, which have no physical certificate to lose — a demat holding is restored through your Depository Participant, not through this affidavit.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Court Marriage Affidavit (Age and Marital Status)Each person intending a civil ("court") marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 gives this affidavit — one per party, not one for the couple — alongside the notice of intended marriage under section 5 of that Act, to the Marriage Officer of the district where at least one of them has resided for the thirty days immediately before the notice. It declares age, present marital status, mental capacity to consent, and that the two are not within a degree of relationship the Act prohibits unless a custom governing them permits it. Not the notice of intended marriage itself, which the Act prescribes its own form for, and not the declaration the parties and three witnesses sign at the marriage under section 11 of that Act — this affidavit supports the notice stage only. Different Marriage Officers ask for it in slightly different forms in practice, so check the specific office's own requirement before the appointment. Not for registering a marriage that has already been solemnised — use a marriage registration application for that instead.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Marriage AffidavitA married person who needs a general sworn statement confirming their marriage — its date, place and the fact that it took place — for a bank or joint account KYC update, an employer's personnel records, adding a spouse as an insurance nominee or dependant, a child's school or college admission, a housing society or utility record, or any other counter that asks for proof of marriage and will accept a notarised affidavit rather than, or in addition to, a marriage certificate. Also useful where the marriage was solemnised long ago by custom or religious rite and was never formally registered, or where registration is still pending and something is needed in the meantime. Not for: the age-and-marital-status affidavit filed before a Marriage Officer to arrange a court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 (use the Court Marriage Affidavit in this library instead); a passport application specifically (use the Passport Annexure Affidavit or the Passport Spouse Name Addition Affidavit); registering the marriage itself with the Registrar (use the Marriage Registration Application); or changing your own name after marriage (use the Name Change after Marriage Affidavit). Punjab and Chandigarh: sworn before a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner, then produced directly at the counter that needs it.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Passport Annexure Affidavit (Annexure D / F / I)The Passport Seva portal or your Regional Passport Office has asked for a standard-format affidavit alongside a fresh, reissue or change-of-particulars passport application. Annexure D is commonly asked for as a general affidavit verifying a particular the application cannot otherwise support with a standard document. Annexure F is commonly asked for where the application involves a change of name following marriage or divorce. Annexure I is commonly asked for where it involves a change in appearance or signature since the last passport was issued. The Passport Seva instruction booklet and your Regional Passport Office are the authority on which annexure a given applicant needs and exactly what it must say, and the letter-to-purpose mapping has shifted across editions of that booklet over the years. Check your specific requirement against the current booklet, or ask the Passport Seva Kendra, before relying on this template's description of D, F or I — see the note below on this. Not for adding a spouse's name to a passport, which uses a different annexure — see the Passport Spouse Name Addition Affidavit instead.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Passport Spouse Name Addition (Annexure J)You are married and want your spouse's name added to your passport records — commonly asked for alongside a reissue application or a change-of-particulars application, as Annexure J of the Passport Seva instruction booklet. Confirm against the current instruction booklet or with your Regional Passport Office that Annexure J is still the letter used for this before relying on this template's title — annexure lettering has been revised across editions of that booklet. Not for changing your own name after marriage — use the Passport Annexure Affidavit (Annexure F) for that instead. Not for removing a former spouse's name after divorce, which is usually a different declaration this template does not cover.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Unmarried Status AffidavitA sworn statement of your present marital status where some authority needs it on record — most often alongside a marriage registration application, a passport or visa application, a government job, admission or scholarship form, or an adoption proceeding. It covers three situations: never married at all; married and since divorced, without remarrying; or married and since widowed, without remarrying. This affidavit does not itself register a marriage, dissolve one, or prove a death — it is your own sworn statement, made on the strength of the decree or certificate it refers to, not a substitute for that decree or certificate. Attach a copy of the divorce decree or the death certificate where the receiving authority asks for one. Not for a joint declaration by both parties to an intended marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 — that notice-of-intended-marriage procedure needs its own separate declaration in the form that Act prescribes, sworn by each party about age, status and the absence of a prohibited relationship, and is a different document from this one.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਪ੍ਰਾਪਰਟੀ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਅਤੇ ਮਿਊਟੇਸ਼ਨ
ਇਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਰਟੀ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਲਿਖੀ ਗੱਲ ਨੂੰ ਠੀਕ ਜਾਂ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਨਾ ਕਿ ਮਾਲਕੀ ਇੱਕ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਤੋਂ ਦੂਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ — ਖ਼ਰੀਦ, ਦਾਨ ਜਾਂ ਵਿਰਾਸਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਚੰਡੀਗੜ੍ਹ ਅਸਟੇਟ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਰਟੀ ਨੂੰ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਮ ਉੱਤੇ ਮਿਊਟੇਟ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ, ਜਾਂ ਇੱਕੋ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਵਾਲੇ ਕਾਗਜ਼ਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਸਪੈਲਿੰਗ ਠੀਕ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ। ਤੀਜਾ ਗੁਆਚੇ ਹੋਏ ਅਸਲ ਟਾਈਟਲ ਡੀਡ ਦੀ ਸਹੁੰ ਚੁੱਕ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਮੁਆਵਜ਼ਾ ਜ਼ਿੰਮੇਵਾਰੀ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਬੈਂਕ, ਖ਼ਰੀਦਦਾਰ ਦਾ ਵਕੀਲ ਜਾਂ ਤਹਿਸੀਲਦਾਰ ਉਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧ ਸਕੇ।
- Auto-Mutation Affidavit-cum-Indemnity Bond (Annexure-I), with Architect's Certificate of Completion and Habitability (Annexure-II)Use this when you've bought, been gifted or inherited (by settlement) an Estate Office property in Chandigarh's sectors — house, plot, SCO, SCF, booth, industrial or institutional site, freehold or leasehold. Since 2025, Estate Office auto-mutation triggers digitally the moment the deed registers — there's no separate mutation application — so this affidavit-cum-indemnity bond must be in the file WHEN THE DEED IS PRESENTED; there's no later counter to file it at. Missing or defective, you get a registered title but a stalled mutation with no application to chase. Two form answers decide if this is even the right paper: the record track (Estate Office sectors, vs a village/lal dora/phirni area, which uses the revenue track instead) and tenure (freehold vs leasehold — leasehold needs the lease particulars, ground rent, NOC and one-third unearned-increase entries filled in too). Annexure-II, an architect's completion/habitability certificate, is needed wherever a building stands. Don't use this: for Punjab property (intkal through the Patwari/Kanungo/CRO is a different template); for a village/lal-dora/phirni-area property; for a mere name addition/deletion of a relative under Rule 7(iii) (not a transfer); or for a residential transfer outside the four categories the Estate Officer's 10 February 2023 freeze still permits (unresolved whether that freeze has lifted). It doesn't replace the leasehold NOC or the one-third unearned-increase payment, and it isn't itself a title document — the registered deed is.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Affidavit and Indemnity Bond for a Lost Title DeedYou need this when someone won't act without the original registered deed: a bank/HFC won't sanction a loan or create an equitable mortgage without it; a buyer's advocate has flagged it missing in a title search; a society or development authority won't transfer records; the Tehsildar's mutation (intkal) is stuck; or the discom won't transfer the connection. FIRST CHECK WHO LOST IT. If a bank/HFC held the original under an equitable mortgage and lost it — common once a loan is closed — the LENDER should swear the loss, give the indemnity, and file its own police report. Don't sign an affidavit for a loss that isn't yours; get the lender's loss letter first. USUAL SEQUENCE: (1) police loss report; (2) certified copy (nakal) of the deed from the Sub-Registrar under s.57, Registration Act, 1908; (3) public notice in one English and one regional newspaper inviting objections; (4) a fresh Encumbrance Certificate; (5) then this affidavit plus indemnity. FIR OR LOST REPORT. Simply losing a document isn't a cognizable offence, so police normally record a Lost Article Report/NCR under s.174, BNSS 2023 (was s.155 CrPC) — that's what banks want. Theft is different: an FIR under s.173 BNSS (was s.154 CrPC) applies there. WHAT A CERTIFIED COPY DOES NOT DO. Under s.57(5) it proves the deed's contents and satisfies secondary-evidence law (s.65, Evidence Act 1872 / Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023) — but it isn't a substitute original. A mortgage by deposit of title deeds (s.58(f), Transfer of Property Act, 1882) needs the physical document; there's no such thing as a "duplicate deed." That gap is why lenders also want this indemnity.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Spelling Correction Affidavit for a Property RecordA record has a spelling variation, and the authority wants a sworn identity statement with the correction application. Narrow scope: the two spellings, documents showing both refer to the same person, and that no ownership/share transfers. Not for a genuine ownership dispute or to bypass rectifying a registered deed naming someone else. Punjab still follows the Fard Badar route.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Affidavit About Payment of the ConsiderationA sworn statement on the agreed consideration and how it was paid, for a registering authority, lender or adviser. Identify the deed, consideration, amount paid, banking trail, and any lawful cash component. Evidentiary only — doesn't transfer title or contradict the conveyance; the deponent must personally know the facts.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Liability Affidavit-cum-Indemnity Bond (Estate Office Annexure-2)For the transferee taking a Chandigarh sector property — buyer, donee, or party under a blood-relations transfer, exchange, or family settlement — swearing this before the Estate Office mutates it into your name. Every transferee in every transaction files it (Annexure-2), sworn by the person coming IN. DON'T USE YET if the property is RESIDENTIAL and the transfer doesn't leave ONE person or family holding the whole unit. Since the Supreme Court's 10 Jan 2023 judgment, the Estate Officer's Public Notice (10 Feb 2023) permits transfer only where one person/family gets the whole unit, it's within the family, or all co-owners after are one family — otherwise transfers are STOPPED pending the Heritage Conservation Committee (status unconfirmed): ask the Estate Office BEFORE buying stamp paper. This affidavit can't revive a stopped mutation. Timing is critical: auto-mutation (since 2025) sends the deed digitally to the Estate Office on registration, with NO separate application after — so this must be sworn, stamped, and IN the file BEFORE the deed is presented. Six sworn facts: no court attachment/injunction; no pending cancellation/resumption; no building violation/misuse; nothing owed (premium, ground rent, misuse charge, water/property tax); the storey actually complete; and your undertaking to finish construction, get the Occupation Certificate, and execute the Redemption Deed. Each box reads 'save as disclosed' — a BLANK box is a denial on oath (clause 1.5), and the Estate Office can check three of four against its own portal in minutes. DON'T use this: for a death transfer (will/intestacy) — use the Estate Office's own transfer-on-death route instead; for a CHB flat — CHB runs its own regime (Regulation 16, 1979); for village/periphery property (Manimajra, lal dora, phirni) — those run on revenue records, not this file; as the SELLER's document — this is the transferee's own; or as a substitute for the leasehold NOC and one-third unearned-increase payment (Rule 7(ii)), still needed separately.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Indemnity for Delayed RegistrationFor when a sale/conveyance is executed but can't register immediately — a lender, authority, or availability delay. Risk: s.23 needs presentation within 4 months (only the limited s.25 extension exists).

- Non-Encumbrance AffidavitFor selling, pledging as loan security, or a society/authority transfer, when the other side wants sworn confirmation nothing is charged against the property. Narrower than a title affidavit (encumbrances only) — and covers what an Encumbrance Certificate can't: a mortgage created by simply handing over title deeds is registered nowhere.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Indemnity Bond by Seller in Favour of BuyerFor after a sale, binding the seller if title proves defective, an encumbrance surfaces, a third party claims the property, an old dues bill lands on the buyer, or a statement proves false.

- Purchaser's Liability Affidavit and Seller's No-Encumbrance Affidavit (Zimmedari Halafnama for an Authority Plot Transfer)For a plot, house, SCF, SCO, booth, small shopping or industrial site allotted by one of Punjab's six development authorities (GMADA Mohali, GLADA Ludhiana, ADA Amritsar, JDA Jalandhar, BDA Bathinda, PDA Patiala) being sold, gifted or transferred, where the Estate Officer's permission is required first: s.43(7), Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act 1995, bars transfer without it; s.43(6) keeps the land the Authority's until fully paid. Three papers — the RTS form asks for three: (i) the application; (ii) Purchaser's Liability Affidavit; (iii) Seller's affidavit of no encumbrances/litigation/liens/mortgage — both on their own Rs 25 paper, each with its own Schedule and penal recital. READ Part 3 clause 2.2 first: the Liability Affidavit makes the purchaser take over the allottee's open-ended liability to pay any final/additional price the Estate Officer determines LATER, even after registration (GLADA's affidavit says so) — behind enhancement demands hitting whole sectors years later, no statutory cap. Also accepts resumption of the site on failure to pay. Extension fees matter too: where the completion certificate wasn't obtained in time, the Authority charges an extension fee half-yearly (from the 4th year), against the SITE — this pack refuses a blanket nil (Seller: Part 2 clause 7.4; Purchaser: Part 3 clause 2.3). Also covers a family transfer (GMADA: father/mother/son/daughter/husband/wife/brother/sister), priced differently only on the processing fee. Do NOT use for a private-builder/coloniser purchase (PAPRA s.44(1) excludes authority land — runs on a PAPRA licence and conveyance within 3 months of possession, s.15). Do NOT use for jamabandi-descended land (registered sale deed over khasra numbers, no Estate Officer in that chain — use a title affidavit instead). Do NOT use for an Improvement Trust plot (Punjab Town Improvement Act 1922, own forms). Do NOT use in Chandigarh — not PUDA land; the Estate Office works under the Capital of Punjab Act 1952, own affidavit-cum-indemnity bond filed at the Sub-Registrar since 2025. And it isn't the transfer itself: permission plus the re-allotment letter moves the Authority's record; the conveyance deed and sale deed still need applying for/executing and registering before the Sub-Registrar.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Affidavit of Clear Title to a LenderA sworn statement for the lender on title, encumbrances, litigation, possession and available documents — facts within the deponent's own knowledge, not a substitute for the lender's own title search and CERSAI check. Don't call title “clear” as an absolute guarantee: disclose known charges, litigation, occupants or missing originals, and don't hide a pre-existing mortgage just because the new loan repays it. Follow Punjab's or Chandigarh's own affidavit stamp/attestation practice.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Declaration of Deposit of Title DeedsDeclare that specified title deeds were deposited with the lender — when, where, and to secure the named debt. Section 58(f), TPA 1882 recognises a deposit-of-title-deeds mortgage; s.59 excludes it from registered-mortgage formality. Record the depositor, property, deed inventory, obligations, prior security and custody, and whether this evidences a completed deposit rather than the bargain itself — that drives stamp/registration treatment. Punjab's Entry 6 covers it at 0.25%; confirm Chandigarh separately.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Guarantor KYC and DeclarationA lender assesses a proposed guarantor's identity, income and liabilities before accepting them as surety — kept separate from the guarantee contract itself (s.126): KYC data shouldn't accidentally create that promise. State relationship, income type, existing loans/guarantees, KYC evidence and approval stage; liability arises only once the guarantee is signed (s.128). No full Aadhaar or family data collected — due diligence, not a disguised guarantee.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Income and Employment Declaration for a LoanA signed statement of your employment/business status, income and debts, for a housing-loan or LAP assessment — matching salary slips, tax returns and bank credits, separating fixed from bonus/variable income. Don't inflate future salary or rental income; disclose any material job change before disbursement. An applicant declaration, not an employer/CA certificate.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Indemnity by a Co-BorrowerTwo co-borrowers privately agree one bears specified payments or reimburses the other for lender claims — often pending a property settlement. This allocates risk between them but can't reduce the lender's rights against either. State the covered obligations, start date, payment method, exclusions, and that lender release needs separate approval. An indemnity (saving another from a loss) differs from a guarantee (a third person's default) — shouldn't accidentally bind the bank. The protected co-borrower gets a reimbursement right; the lender's rights stay intact.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Legal Heir Undertaking on the Death of a BorrowerWhen a borrower dies with a loan outstanding, an heir informs the lender without signing an undertaking that makes them personally liable for the whole debt. Lender rights over the property/estate continue under the loan documents and succession law. A deceased guarantor's guarantee is revoked by death for future transactions only (s.131). State the death, account, heirs, succession status and servicing proposal — and whether the heir is coordinating the estate or becoming the new borrower.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Undertaking to Create a MortgageFor when the lender has sanctioned/disbursed credit but the mortgage can't complete immediately — a condition must happen first (deed registration, an old charge released, an authority NOC, or title deeds becoming available). Needs a limited undertaking to create the mortgage by a fixed deadline, without impairing the property meanwhile. Doesn't itself create the mortgage — the later registered instrument (s.59) or deposit mortgage (s.58(f)) still applies. States the condition, deadline, no-encumbrance covenant and consequence of failure.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Buyer Affidavit — No Earlier Land Purchased Under Section 118You are the non-agriculturist buyer applying for permission under section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, and the Collector needs your own sworn word on whether you have already acquired land in Himachal Pradesh under section 118 before — because permission is capped, and a buyer who already holds land taken under an earlier section 118 order may find that cap works against a further purchase. This affidavit either says you have not, or discloses what you have, so the Collector can weigh the current application correctly. Use it beside `himachal_section_118_permission_application` and the Transferor's own affidavit. Where you are buying jointly with someone else, each buyer swears this affidavit separately.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Co-sharer No-Objection Affidavit (Section 118)The land being sold under section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972 stands in the joint names of more than one recorded co-sharer, and only some of them are selling. This is the sworn no-objection of the co-sharers who are NOT themselves party to the sale, confirming they have no objection to it, filed with the section 118 application alongside the selling Transferor's own affidavit. Use it beside `himachal_section_118_permission_application` and `himachal_transferor_no_landless_affidavit_section_118`. If every recorded co-sharer is selling and each signs the application and the sale papers personally, this separate affidavit is usually unnecessary — it exists for the case where some co-sharers stay out of the transaction but the Collector still needs their concurrence on file. Not for: a general no-objection between co-owners outside a section 118 proceeding — the library's general co-owner consent template covers that. This one is written specifically to accompany a section 118 file and says so on its face.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

Not the registration application itself, and not a substitute for it — file this alongside the online form, not instead of it. And not for a hotel, resort or a commercial guest house run as a standalone business rather than a family home taking in paying guests; see `himachal_hotel_resort_lease` for that, and `himachal_homestay_guest_house_lease` where the property itself is being taken on lease to run as one.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Transferor Affidavit — Will Not Become Landless (Section 118)You are selling land in Himachal Pradesh to a buyer who is not an agriculturist, and the sale needs the Collector's permission under section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972. This is the Transferor's own sworn affidavit, filed with that application, satisfying the Collector that the sale will not leave you landless or without the means to support yourself and your family. This is one of three sworn papers a section 118 file commonly carries, alongside the application itself and, where the land is jointly held, the other co-sharers' no-objection affidavit. Use it beside `himachal_section_118_permission_application`. Not for: a sale between two agriculturists, which needs no section 118 permission and no landless declaration; or a transferor who is a minor, of unsound mind, or whose share is under the Court of Wards — such a transferor's affidavit is sworn by a guardian or manager, which this template does not attempt to cover.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Duplicate Marksheet / Lost Certificate AffidavitA sworn affidavit, combined with an indemnity bond, for a marksheet, certificate, degree or similar academic document that has been lost — used to support an application to the issuing Board, University or School for a duplicate. Records the loss, the search made for the original, whether a police report or online lost-property complaint was lodged, and whether a public notice was published, and indemnifies the institution against the consequences of issuing a duplicate.

- Shop & Establishment AffidavitYou are registering a shop, office or commercial establishment under the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 — as applicable in the State of Punjab, and as extended to and applied in the Union Territory of Chandigarh — and the local authority or the online portal wants a sworn affidavit from the proprietor, partner or authorised signatory confirming the establishment's particulars before it issues the registration certificate. Many municipal bodies now accept a self-certified online declaration for a first registration, without a notarised affidavit; use this document where a sworn affidavit is specifically asked for — on renewal, on a change of particulars, where the online route is unavailable for the applicant's category of establishment, or simply because the office handling the application wants one on file. It affirms who runs the establishment, what it does, where, since when, how many people work there, and its weekly holiday and working hours, and undertakes to comply with the Act. For a shop or commercial establishment in Punjab or Chandigarh. Not a substitute for the registration application form itself, which is filed separately with or through the relevant Labour Department or municipal portal; this affidavit supports that application.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Proprietorship DeclarationA bank, GST authority, government department or tender wants proof that a business is a sole proprietorship — one individual owns it, with no partner, no company and no separate legal existence apart from that individual — and wants it in the form of a signed and sworn declaration rather than, or in addition to, other registration certificates. The Reserve Bank of India's KYC directions for opening a current account in the name of a proprietary concern normally call for any two of a list of documents showing the firm's name and address — a registration certificate, GST certificate, Udyam certificate, importer-exporter code, a licence issued by a municipal authority, or similar — and, where the bank cannot get two such documents, a declaration from the proprietor confirming sole proprietorship, together with any other document the bank reasonably asks for. This document is that declaration, drafted as a sworn affidavit so it is accepted wherever a plain declaration would not be. For an individual who is the sole proprietor of a business in Punjab or Chandigarh, wanting to prove that status to a bank, authority or other third party. Not a registration of the business itself — a proprietorship has no separate registration of its own; what exists are the GST, Udyam, Shop & Establishment or trade registrations the business may separately hold, which this declaration lists where available as supporting evidence.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Trade Licence AffidavitYou are applying to a Municipal Corporation or Municipal Council for a trade licence to run a trade the municipal law treats as one requiring a licence — commonly the "dangerous and offensive" trades scheduled under the applicable municipal Act, such as an eatery or dhaba using fire, a business storing or selling chemicals, timber, scrap, or similar goods, or another trade the local byelaws specify — and the municipal office wants a sworn affidavit from the applicant along with the application form. In Punjab this is issued under the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976 in a Corporation area, or the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 in a Municipal Council or Nagar Panchayat area; in Chandigarh, under the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976 as extended to and applied in the Union Territory, administered by the Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh. The affidavit affirms the trade carried on, the premises it is carried on at, whether the applicant owns or occupies the premises with the owner's consent, and any fire or pollution clearance the trade needs before a licence can issue. For a trade licence application or renewal in Punjab or Chandigarh. Not a substitute for the licence application form itself, and not the Shop & Establishment registration, which is a separate requirement under a different Act — many businesses need both.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਮੌਤ, ਉਤਰਾਧਿਕਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਰਾਸਤ
ਇਹਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾਤਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਮੌਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਕੰਮ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ — ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀ ਵਿਰਾਸਤ ਇੰਤਕਾਲ ਮਿਊਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਲਈ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਵਾਰਸਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਦੱਸਣਾ, ਇਹ ਪੁਸ਼ਟੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਕਿ ਹੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਵਾਰਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ ਜਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਵਾਰਸ ਆਪਣਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੰਗਦਾ, ਤੀਹ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਦੇਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਦਰਜ ਹੋਈ ਮੌਤ ਨੂੰ ਰਜਿਸਟਰ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ, ਜਾਂ ਉਤਰਾਧਿਕਾਰ ਸਰਟੀਫ਼ਿਕੇਟ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਬੈਂਕ ਦੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਤੈਅ ਹੱਦ ਤੋਂ ਘੱਟ ਰਕਮ ਵਾਰਸਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦਿਵਾਉਣਾ। ਬਾਕੀ ਦੋ ਉਦੋਂ ਕੰਮ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਜਦੋਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਜਿਊਂਦੇ ਹੋਣ — ਕਿਸੇ ਦਾਨ ਦੇ ਸਮਰਥਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਾਨ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਦਾ ਐਲਾਨ, ਅਤੇ ਵਸੀਅਤ ਉੱਤੇ ਦਸਤਖ਼ਤ ਵੇਲੇ ਗਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਜੋ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਬਿਆਨ।
- Affidavit of Legal Heirs for a Virasat Intkal (Inheritance Mutation)The annexure affidavit for a virasat intkal — when someone who owned Punjab village land dies, the Halqa Patwari enters the mutation and the Circle Revenue Officer sanctions it, reading this with the shajra nasab and death proof; without it the file sits. Also accepted by banks, insurers, PSPCL, societies, employers and depositories as heir proof — evidence only, at the acceptor's risk. Do NOT use if: a will exists (probate governs); an heir gives up a share (becomes a chargeable, registrable Release — no mutation on it; partition is separate, AFTER the intkal); heirship is disputed or a suit/appeal is pending; or the fix is to an entry already IN the jamabandi (a fard badar, not a mutation). Do NOT file without proof of death, on oath, in the annexure index: the death certificate, the Chowkidar's report and register entry, or a delayed-registration order (see Witnesses). Not for a Chandigarh sector house or SCO: no jamabandi there — the Estate Officer's allotment file governs, wanting a different affidavit. Chandigarh's own revenue villages do keep a jamabandi, but no Punjab machinery (Land Records Society, Fard Kendras, Easy Jamabandi, jamabandi.punjab.gov.in) reaches them.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Affidavit That There Is No Other Legal HeirA sworn statement naming known heirs and confirming none other is known — evidence, not a judicial finding; it should not promise no unknown heir exists anywhere. State the death record and purpose; an undisclosed heir isn't deprived by being unnamed. Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab/Chandigarh denomination unconfirmed — ask). Does not transfer property or replace probate, letters, a succession certificate or release. Chandigarh: Estate Office file; Punjab: local revenue/authority record.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Delayed Death Registration AffidavitA death was not registered within the twenty-one days the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 ordinarily allows, and a delayed registration application needs a sworn affidavit to go with it — the Act itself requires one once the delay passes thirty days. Between thirty days and one year after the death, this affidavit accompanies an application for the Registrar's written permission to register it, together with the prescribed fee. Beyond one year, it accompanies an application to a Magistrate of the First Class, who alone can order registration at that point, after verifying the death. Confirm which of the two bands applies to your dates before filling this in, and expect the Registrar or the Magistrate to ask for independent proof of death — a hospital record, a doctor's certificate, a cremation or burial receipt — alongside this affidavit, not in place of it. Not for a death you can still register within the ordinary twenty-one days, or within thirty days on payment of a late fee alone — neither needs this affidavit.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Donor Declaration and Affidavit for a GiftA sworn donor declaration — voluntariness, title, relationship, encumbrances — supporting a gift file; evidence only, doesn't transfer property, which still needs the registered, two-witness deed (ss.122-123). State only facts within the donor's knowledge; no sweeping guarantee, don't waive a required permission. Strengthens the file but can't cure missing registration or acceptance.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Indemnity Bond for Deceased's Bank ClaimAn account holder has died, no nominee covers the balance, and the legal heirs want the bank to release it without going to court first for a succession certificate, letters of administration or probate. Most banks allow this below a threshold fixed by their own board-approved policy — sometimes with a surety, sometimes without one — in exchange for an indemnity bond from the claiming heir(s): a promise to make the bank good if somebody else later turns out to have a better right to the money. This bond does not decide who the legal heirs actually are — it assumes that question is settled, by a legal heir certificate or otherwise, and simply protects the bank for paying out on that basis without a court order. Where heirship itself is disputed, a bank will commonly decline this route regardless of what this bond says. Not for a claim above the bank's own threshold, or one the bank has told you needs a succession certificate — ask the branch first what route it will accept before preparing this bond.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- No-Claim Affidavit by an HeirAn authority, buyer or lender asks an heir for this so a transaction can proceed — evidentiary only: a limited no-objection, disclosing any settlement, NOT transferring a vested share. To actually surrender a share, use a registered release instead (Article 55, section 17(1)(b), Registration Act). State the deceased, relationship, property and reserved rights; stamped as an affidavit (Article 4, Schedule I-A). Can't override succession law or cure a missing probate or registered release.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Witness Attestation Declaration for a WillAs an attesting witness to a will, you make a later declaration of what you personally saw at execution — for a probate file, registration issue or evidentiary record. Section 63(c), Indian Succession Act 1925 requires each witness to have seen the testator sign/mark (or a directed signer sign in the testator's presence, or received acknowledgment), and to sign in the testator's own presence. Record only what you personally observed — not a retrospective medical opinion. Section 281 requires verification by at least one witness when procurable in a probate petition. A signed declaration, not an affidavit — if a court directs a sworn one, prepare that separately.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਨੋਟਿਸ, ਝਗੜੇ ਅਤੇ ਆਰਟੀਆਈ

- General Court AffidavitA general-purpose sworn affidavit for use in support of a petition, application or proceeding before a court, tribunal or government authority in Punjab or Chandigarh, or as a standalone sworn statement of facts. The deponent states the facts in their own words; this template supplies the caption, oath, jurat and verification around them. Where this library already carries a purpose-built affidavit for the exact subject — identity, title to property, loss of a document, and others — use that one instead; it is written to match the specific proforma an authority is likely to expect. Use this general one only where none fits.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- RTI Second Appeal or Complaint to the Information CommissionThis is the last step inside the RTI system. File it when the first appeal has been decided against you, or has not been decided within thirty days of its receipt, or forty-five where the appellate officer recorded reasons for more time. The second appeal goes to an Information Commission, not to the public authority: to the Punjab State Information Commission, at the Red Cross Building in Sector 16, Chandigarh, where the public authority is under the Government of Punjab, and to the Central Information Commission where it is an office of the Union Territory of Chandigarh Administration. It must be filed within ninety days from the date the first appeal's decision was received or should have been made, and the Commission can admit a later appeal for sufficient cause. The Commission takes an appeal up only after the first appeal is decided or forty-five days have passed since it was filed. The same form serves as a complaint under section 18 where no Public Information Officer would take your application, the fee demanded is unreasonable, or the information given is incomplete, misleading or false. Attach self-attested copies of the application, the reply, the first appeal and the order, with an index, and verify the facts at the foot; the Punjab Commission also wants at least three sets in paper-book form for an appeal, a statement that the matter has not been filed before and a self-attested identity document. The Commission can order the information to be supplied, require compensation for loss you suffered, and fine the officer two hundred and fifty rupees a day, up to twenty-five thousand rupees.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
ਮੁਖ਼ਤਿਆਰਨਾਮਾ
ਇਹ ਉਹ ਸਹੁੰ ਵਾਲੀ ਪੁਸ਼ਟੀ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਚੰਡੀਗੜ੍ਹ ਦਾ ਅਸਟੇਟ ਦਫ਼ਤਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਐਨੇਕਸਰ-11 ਵਜੋਂ ਮੰਗਦਾ ਹੈ — ਕਿ ਜਦੋਂ ਮੁਖ਼ਤਿਆਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਦਸਤਖ਼ਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਡੀਡ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਆਮ, ਖ਼ਾਸ ਜਾਂ ਸਬ-ਮੁਖ਼ਤਿਆਰਨਾਮਾ ਅਸਲੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਹਾਲੇ ਵੀ ਲਾਗੂ ਹੈ।
ਘਰ ਕਿਰਾਏ ਉੱਤੇ ਦੇਣਾ

- Landlord Repair UndertakingThe landlord has accepted repair work is needed, and both sides need more than 'we'll look into it' — this undertaking fixes scope, inspection date, start date, completion, cost and access. It stops a repair being read as an automatic rent waiver.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Tenant Indemnity and UndertakingFor a landlord needing a written undertaking on a defined risk — tenant-caused damage, agreed-use compliance, or a temporary-possession condition — not a sweeping 'liable for everything' promise. Article 34, Punjab-amended stamp schedule treats an indemnity bond like a security bond, so stamping may differ from a plain covenant. A breach isn't a shortcut to eviction. Defines the obligation, loss scope, exclusions, cure period and any cap.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
