When you need it

You are applying for a fresh arms licence, its renewal, the addition of another firearm to an existing licence, or a duplicate licence in place of one lost or damaged, under the Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules, 2016, and the Licensing Authority's own application form asks for a sworn affidavit of your antecedents, fitness and purpose alongside it. The Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules, 2016 apply uniformly across India; the Licensing Authority for this affidavit is the District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner of the district in Punjab, or the Licensing Authority notified for the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and it is that office's own local verification — through the police station concerned — that the rest of the application turns on.

Not for: a licence for a firearm used in film or theatre production, or an arms dealer's stock-in-trade beyond what a dealer's own licence covers, each of which follows a separate procedure under the Rules; or a permit to carry the weapon into another state, which is a separate authorisation.

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

An affidavit is chargeable under Article 4, Schedule 1-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable to Punjab, which Schedule also governs the Union Territory of Chandigarh. In practice it is sworn on a non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 10, the smallest denomination generally sold at a treasury, an SHCIL e-stamp counter or an authorised stamp vendor in Punjab or in Chandigarh. Figures checked 19 September 2026; Punjab's Schedule 1-A rates for a list of instruments including affidavits have been revised by cabinet-approved ordinance since Article 4 was last generally known to charge one rupee, and the exact rupee figure now notified was not independently confirmed for this template — confirm it at the stamp vendor on the day of purchase.

Registration

This affidavit goes into the Licensing Authority's own case file with the application and is not an instrument the Registration Act, 1908 requires to be registered, in Punjab or in Chandigarh.

Notarisation

Sworn or affirmed before a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner appointed for Punjab or for the Union Territory of Chandigarh, who verifies the Deponent's identity and signs, stamps and dates the affidavit, before it is filed with the application.

Witnesses

This affidavit needs no separate attesting witness in either jurisdiction beyond the notarial attestation; the Licensing Authority verifies the Deponent's antecedents independently through the police station concerned rather than through a witness to this affidavit.
