When you need it

A sworn affidavit by a sponsor — typically a parent or close relative — declaring the intention and financial capacity to fund a named student's course and living costs abroad, for annexure to a study visa application. General-purpose across destination countries; it is not any one consulate's own prescribed "affidavit of support" form, and some consulates require their own instead of, or in addition to, this one.

Often filed together with the Relationship Affidavit for Visa, which independently establishes the family relationship, and the Sponsor Financial Undertaking, a more detailed itemised funding commitment — the three are commonly prepared as a set for a study visa.

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. Many consulates and visa-processing centres specify their own stamp-paper value or format for a sponsorship affidavit in their document checklist — where one is specified, follow it in preference to the general figure. Buy the e-stamp in the sponsor'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 sponsor appearing in person with photo identification. Because this affidavit is generally relied upon outside India, some consulates additionally require an apostille (India is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention) from the Ministry of External Affairs or an MEA-appointed agency, or consular attestation, on top of notarisation — confirm the destination country's specific requirement before relying on notarisation alone.

Witnesses

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