Common Questions
Drafting Knowledge
What technically constitutes a valid affidavit?
A valid affidavit is a written statement of fact, voluntarily made by a deponent under oath or affirmation, and administered by a person authorized by law (like a Notary Public or Magistrate). It must be signed in the presence of the attesting authority.
Does an AI-drafted affidavit need stamp paper?
Yes. In India, most affidavits must be executed on Non-Judicial Stamp Paper. The value typically ranges from ₹10 to ₹100 depending on the state and the nature of the declaration. Our AI will guide you on the commonly accepted value for your jurisdiction.
Is a notarized affidavit different from one signed by a Magistrate?
A Notary Public is authorized to attest affidavits for common administrative and commercial use (KYC, name change, etc.). Affidavits for use in ongoing court trials or specific criminal matters may required attestation by a Judicial Magistrate.
Can an affidavit be used as evidence in a court trial?
Under the Indian Evidence Act, affidavits are generally not "evidence" for a trial. However, in interlocutory proceedings (temporary injunctions, bail), the court can decide based on affidavits. In civil cases, "Evidence-on-Affidavit" is common for examination-in-chief.
What is the "Jurat" section at the end of an affidavit?
The Jurat is the part where the attesting authority (Notary) certifies that the affidavit was sworn and signed before them on a specific date and place. Our AI automatically includes the correctly worded Jurat for your selected deponent.
What is the validity period of a notarized affidavit?
Most affidavits do not have a hard expiration date unless specified (e.g., an Income Affidavit for a specific financial year). However, for KYC or address proof, most authorities prefer an affidavit that is less than 6 months old.
Can an NRI execute an Indian affidavit from abroad?
Yes. An NRI can execute an affidavit and have it attested by the Indian Embassy/Consulate in their country of residence. Alternatively, a notary in a Foreign Country can attest it, provided it is then "Apostilled" or legalized for use in India.
