Frequently Asked Questions
What is an affidavit and when is it required?
An affidavit is a written statement of facts sworn to be true, made voluntarily under oath before a Notary Public, Oath Commissioner, or Magistrate. It is required whenever an authority — a court, bank, government office, or gazette — needs a legally binding declaration of facts such as identity, address, income, or ownership.
Can any advocate draft an affidavit in Odisha?
Yes, any practising advocate can draft an affidavit, provided it follows the format prescribed for its purpose and is sworn before a competent authority such as a Notary Public or Executive Magistrate. Advocate Debarchana Samal drafts affidavits to match the exact requirements of the receiving office or court.
What documents are needed to draft a name change affidavit?
Typically an existing identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, or voter ID), proof of the old and new name if already partially changed, and details of the purpose for which the name change is sought are needed. The affidavit is then generally followed by gazette publication and newspaper notification depending on the requesting authority's requirements.
Is a notarised affidavit valid in all government offices?
A notarised affidavit is generally accepted across government offices, banks, and courts in India, though some authorities specifically require attestation before an Executive Magistrate rather than a Notary. It is advisable to confirm the receiving authority's exact requirement before finalising the affidavit.
What happens if an affidavit contains false information?
Making a false statement in an affidavit is an offence under Sections 191 and 199 of the Indian Penal Code and can attract prosecution for perjury, besides invalidating the affidavit for its intended purpose. Every fact stated in the affidavit should be verified and accurate to the best of the deponent's knowledge.
