The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

SURVIVING MEMBER CERTIFICATE APPLICATION

Deceased place-of-death record: __________.

FAMILY RECORD

REQUEST

Issue the surviving-member certificate for the stated administrative purpose without treating it as a judicial grant over disputed estate rights.

APPLICANT CONTACT

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: A single universal statutory route for every surviving-member certificate was not confirmed from the sources used. The authority named for the stated departmental purpose receives and decides the application; the precise Punjab section, fee, timeline and appeal route must come from that service.

Chandigarh: A single universal UT statutory route for every surviving-member certificate was not confirmed. The named departmental authority receives the application; for Chandigarh sector property, the Estate Office succession/transmission file remains separate under the 1952 Act and 2007 Rules.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The purpose of collecting personal data in this Surviving Member Certificate Application is to identify the deceased, applicant, heirs or nominees, establish the property/estate record and support the stated succession or transmission process.

If the matter does not proceed, the personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If the matter proceeds, the record will be retained for the matter plus 12 months, except where a statute requires a longer named retention period.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or bank credentials.

SIGNATURE

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
