When you need it

You are applying for a spouse or partner visa, and the consulate wants a sworn affidavit — beyond the marriage certificate itself — confirming the marriage is genuine and subsisting, describing how the relationship developed and how the couple lives together or maintains the relationship where living apart pending the visa. Distinct from the Relationship Affidavit for Visa (which establishes a family relationship such as parent-child for sponsorship purposes) and from the NRI Marriage Registration Affidavit (which supports registering the marriage itself) — this one is specifically about the genuineness of the marriage for immigration purposes, which is the question most spouse-visa refusals turn on.

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 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 additionally require an apostille or consular attestation on top of notarisation — confirm the destination country's specific requirement.

Witnesses

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