When you need it

Your name is spelled or ordered differently across your passport, your school/college marksheets or certificates, and an English test score report (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or similar) — and the visa authority or the admitting university wants a sworn affidavit confirming all versions refer to one and the same person before they will accept your application. More general name-reconciliation needs — not tied to a visa or an English test score — are better served by the Affidavit of One and the Same Person; use this version where a visa application or a university admission file is specifically what you are reconciling the name for.

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) — a nominal fixed duty; authorities commonly print Rs 25, though no official table carries a specific affidavit entry — confirm at the counter. Chandigarh applies its own Schedule I figure. Some consulates and universities specify their own stamp-paper value or format — where one is specified, follow it in preference to the general figure.

Registration

Not registrable — an affidavit creates no right in property, so section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not apply.

Notarisation

Required — sworn before a Notary Public, an Oath Commissioner, or an Executive Magistrate, with the deponent appearing in person with photo identification. Because this affidavit is generally relied upon outside India, some consulates or universities additionally require an apostille or consular attestation on top of notarisation — confirm the destination's specific requirement.

Witnesses

None required by law; oath and attestation are the relevant formality.
