When you need it

For an applicant seeking an Income Certificate from the Tehsildar/SDM in Punjab, through the Suwidha Kendra or edistrict.punjabgovt.gov.in, or from the Deputy Commissioner's office in Chandigarh, through Sampark — where the application asks for a sworn affidavit declaring the applicant's or family's annual income and its sources. Used to support a fee concession, a scholarship, a subsidy, a legal-aid application, or a court proceeding that asks for proof of income.

Not for an Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) certificate, which has its own income-and-asset affidavit with the specific thresholds and the non-reservation-overlap condition that certificate needs — use the EWS Certificate Affidavit for that. Not for an income declaration made to a bank or lender in support of a loan, which is a different document addressed to a different reader — use the Income and Employment Declaration for a Loan for that.

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

Punjab: Article 4, Schedule 1-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable to Punjab, non-judicial stamp paper, commonly Rs 10, e-stamped via SHCIL (shcilestamp.com) or bought from a licensed vendor. Chandigarh: Article 4, Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as extended to the Union Territory, the same nominal denomination, from SHCIL or the Treasury, Sector 17.

Registration

Not a registrable instrument. Annexed to the Income Certificate application filed with the Tehsildar/SDM (Punjab) or the Deputy Commissioner's office (Chandigarh), which independently assesses the income declared — commonly through a report from the Patwari or Lambardar of the applicant's native village, or the Circle Revenue Officer — before issuing the certificate. There is no Sub-Registrar step.

Notarisation

Sworn before a Notary Public (Notaries Act, 1952) or an Executive Magistrate/Oath Commissioner. Where sworn on the spot at a Suwidha Kendra or Sampark counter, that counter's own attesting officer may accept the affidavit in their presence in place of prior notarisation — confirm with the specific counter first.

Witnesses

None required by law for the affidavit itself; the department's own verification report substitutes for a witness in the wider process, but the affidavit is authenticated by the notary's or attesting officer's seal alone.
