NRI Marriage Registration Affidavit

At a glance

Price: Free
Stamp duty: Chargeable under Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab) or the corresponding Chandigarh entry — a nominal fixed duty; commonly a small figure such as Rs 10 or Rs 25 in practice, but confirm the current figure at the counter, since this drafter does not print one specific to an affidavit sworn abroad and later brought to Punjab or Chandigarh.
Registration: Not registrable — an affidavit creates no interest in property, so section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not apply.
Witnesses: Not required by law; oath and attestation are the relevant formality.

When you need it

You (or your spouse) live outside India and need a sworn affidavit confirming the facts of your marriage — date, place, ceremony, and that neither of you had a subsisting earlier marriage — to support registration of the marriage under the Punjab Compulsory Registration of Marriages Act, 2012 or the Chandigarh Administration's marriage registration process, or to support a spouse-visa or immigration application abroad. Confirm your specific Registrar's or consulate's own affidavit format before relying on this one as sufficient on its own — some registrars and some consulates prescribe their own proforma.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Chargeable under Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab) or the corresponding Chandigarh entry — a nominal fixed duty; commonly a small figure such as Rs 10 or Rs 25 in practice, but confirm the current figure at the counter, since this drafter does not print one specific to an affidavit sworn abroad and later brought to Punjab or Chandigarh.

Registration

Not registrable — an affidavit creates no interest in property, so section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not apply. It is filed as a supporting annexure with the marriage-registration application, or with a visa application, not lodged on its own.

Notarisation

Sworn before a Notary Public where the deponent is, or before an Indian Consul/Vice-Consul where sworn abroad. Because it is generally relied upon in India after being executed abroad, some Registrars or consulates additionally expect apostille or consular attestation — confirm before the appointment.

Witnesses

Not required by law; oath and attestation are the relevant formality.
