When you need it

You need a sworn affidavit to support transfer of a vehicle's Registration Certificate into a new owner's name at the RTO — after a sale, or after the death of the registered owner — where the Registering Authority asks for a sworn statement beyond the plain transfer forms, or where a fact needs to be put on record that Form 29 and Form 30 themselves have no box for: that the person signing really is the registered owner or a legal heir entitled to the vehicle, that dues on it are cleared, and whether any financier's hypothecation still needs to be cleared before the transfer can go through. Transfer of ownership is governed by Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, which apply uniformly across India; what is jurisdiction-specific here is the authority you file before — in Punjab the Sub-Divisional Motor Vehicle Officer or District Transport Officer of the district, in Chandigarh the Registering Authority, Union Territory of Chandigarh — and where this affidavit is notarised.

Not for a transfer by way of gift between family members, without any sale consideration — use the Vehicle Gift Affidavit for that, which is the fuller, donor-facing document a gift transfer needs; not for a straightforward two-party sale where the Registering Authority is content with Form 29 and Form 30 signed by both parties and asks for no separate affidavit at all, which some offices accept without one; and not for the sale agreement itself recording the price and condition of the vehicle, for which the Car / Bike Sale Agreement is the document.

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

An affidavit is chargeable under Article 4, Schedule 1-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable to Punjab, which Schedule also governs the Union Territory of Chandigarh. In practice it is sworn on a non-judicial stamp paper of the smallest denomination generally sold at a treasury, an SHCIL e-stamp counter or an authorised stamp vendor in Punjab or in Chandigarh; the Parivahan portal's own online workflow commonly asks for an affidavit of this kind to be uploaded as a scanned document rather than produced in original at the counter. Punjab's Schedule 1-A rates for a list of instruments including affidavits have been revised by notification from time to time, and the exact rupee figure now in force was not independently confirmed for this template — confirm it at the stamp vendor on the day of purchase.

Registration

This affidavit goes into the transfer file with Form 29 and Form 30 and is not an instrument the Registration Act, 1908 requires to be registered, in Punjab or in Chandigarh — a sworn statement supporting a change of ownership is not among the categories Section 17 of that Act reaches. "Registration" of the vehicle itself is the separate, Motor-Vehicles-Act sense of the word: the Registering Authority's own record of who owns it, changed under Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 on Form 29 and Form 30, not under the Registration Act, 1908 at all.

Notarisation

Sworn or affirmed before a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner appointed for Punjab or for the Union Territory of Chandigarh, who verifies the Deponent's identity and signs, stamps and dates the affidavit, before it is uploaded or produced with the transfer application.

Witnesses

This affidavit needs no separate attesting witness in either jurisdiction beyond the notarial attestation.
