When you need it

A sworn affidavit supporting an application for, or the particulars needed to obtain, a Migration Certificate from the Board, University or School last attended — commonly needed when moving to another University or Board within India, applying to study abroad, or where a name, date of birth or other particular needs to be affirmed against the institution's records before the certificate is issued. Not for a certificate that has already been issued and is now lost — use the Duplicate Marksheet / Lost Certificate Affidavit for that instead.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Chargeable under Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab) — a nominal fixed duty; authorities commonly print Rs 25, though no official table carries a specific affidavit entry — confirm at the counter. Chandigarh applies its own Schedule I figure and its Estate Office accepts a notarised affidavit in place of one attested by an Executive Magistrate, though that practice concerns property records rather than academic ones. Many Boards and Universities prescribe their own stamp-paper value for this exact affidavit in their admission or migration-certificate rules — where the receiving institution states one, follow it in preference to the general figure. Buy the e-stamp in the deponent's own name.

Registration

Not registrable — an affidavit creates no right in property, so Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not apply.

Notarisation

Required — sworn before a Notary Public, an Oath Commissioner, or an Executive Magistrate, with the deponent appearing in person with photo identification. Some institutions accept only one of these for this specific affidavit; check the prescribed format before swearing it.

Witnesses

None required by law; oath and attestation are the relevant formality.

NOTE ON ISSUANCE

A Migration Certificate is issued under the rules and regulations of the Board or University concerned, and not under a single central statute. Where the receiving institution prescribes its own affidavit proforma, wording or stamp-paper value, that requirement governs and should be followed in preference to this general form.
