A General Affidavit is a written statement of facts that the person making it, called the deponent, swears or affirms to be true before a notary, oath commissioner or magistrate. It is used whenever an office, bank, school or court asks for facts on oath, such as address, identity, a name discrepancy or the loss of a document.

ಅದರ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಕಾನೂನು

Affidavits are sworn under the Oaths Act, 1969, before a person authorised to administer oaths, such as a notary appointed under the Notaries Act, 1952, an oath commissioner or a magistrate. Affidavits used in civil cases are also governed by Order XIX of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, like the Evidence Act before it, does not apply to affidavits. Knowingly making a false statement in an affidavit is an offence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Whether stamp paper is needed, and of what value, depends on the state and the purpose.

ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ತಪ್ಪುಗಳು

• Signing the affidavit at home and taking it to the notary afterwards, instead of signing in the notary's presence.
• Including opinions, guesses or facts known only from others without saying so.
• Using stamp paper of the wrong value or bought in another state when the receiving office insists on a particular one.
• Leaving the verification clause unsigned or without place and date, which many offices treat as incomplete.
