How to use the affidavit
- Fill the form and read the preview. Every line should be true — you are swearing to it.
- Pay ₹49 and download the PDF (and the Word file if you want to edit wording).
- Buy non-judicial stamp paper of the value your state uses for affidavits (₹10–₹100 in most states; e-stamp paper is fine where available) and print the affidavit on it, or attach the stamp paper as the first sheet.
- Sign in front of a Notary Public (or an Executive Magistrate). The notary stamps, signs and enters it in the register. Fee is usually ₹50–₹300.
Types covered

Common questions
Is a self-made affidavit valid?
Yes. An affidavit is your own sworn statement; what makes it valid is the stamp paper and the notary's attestation, not who typed it. This is a template for common situations, not legal advice — for a court matter, ask a lawyer.
Can I edit the wording?
Yes, the Word file is fully editable. You can also add your own numbered statements in the form.
What if the office rejects the format?
Some offices (universities, RTOs) have their own prescribed format; use theirs if they insist. Email us and we'll refund the ₹49.
