When you need it

A newspaper notice and a sworn affidavit, together, for a parent who has decided to cut off dealings with a son or daughter and wants the public told that they are no longer answerable for that person's loans, deals or acts. What it does: it records your decision and warns the public.

What it does not do: it does not, by itself, take away any share or right the law gives that son or daughter in any property; who inherits from you is decided by your Will, or by the law of succession if there is no Will. The legal effect of a bedakhli notice is a point lawyers should confirm before relying on it. Keep the reasons short and true; a notice that makes untrue or hurtful claims can bring a complaint against you. For who inherits your own property, see the Will in this library. For making a child leave your house, use the Application to Evict Children or Relatives from a Parent's House.

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

The affidavit needs stamp paper of the value the current Punjab or Chandigarh schedule requires for an affidavit; confirm the figure at the e-stamp vendor or the notary. The newspaper notice needs no stamp.

Registration

Not registrable and not meant to be.

Notarisation

The affidavit must be sworn or affirmed before a notary or oath commissioner, who also verifies your identity. The newspaper notice is not notarised; it is given to the newspaper with a copy of the sworn affidavit if the newspaper asks.

Witnesses

No witnesses are needed for the affidavit. Keep the newspaper cuttings with the affidavit; they are the proof of when the public was told.
