दस्तावेज़ ख़ुद अंग्रेज़ी में है। भारत में इस तरह के काग़ज़ आमतौर पर अंग्रेज़ी में ही बनते हैं, और रजिस्ट्रार, बैंक या अदालत में वही शब्द पढ़े जाते हैं जो लिखे गए हैं — इसलिए यह मंच उनका अनुवाद नहीं करता। पन्ने की भाषा हिन्दी है; दस्तावेज़ की भाषा अंग्रेज़ी।

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें

- 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.₹199खोलें
- 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.₹199खोलें
