What is an Affidavit in India?
The affidavit is a written statement sworn before a person having authority to administer an oath. In India, an affidavit can be sworn or affirmed before:
- Any Judge or any Judicial or Executive Magistrate;
- Any Commissioner of Oaths appointed by a High Court or Court of Sessions;
- Any Notary appointed under the Notaries Act, 1952;
How to draft an affidavit
Affidavits should be drawn in the first person, and the matter of the affidavit should be divided into paragraphs which are numbered consecutively. Each of the paragraphs in an affidavit should ideally be confined to a portion of the subject.
