When you need it

A formal application letter in Hindi — a prarthna patra — for the requests people most often write on plain paper: to a bank manager (a problem with an account, a statement, closing an account, a change of address, a cheque book), to a school or college principal (leave, a fee concession, a transfer certificate, a certificate), to a government officer such as the SDM or Tehsildar, to the electricity or water department (a new connection, or a complaint about a bill) and to a police station. A last choice covers any other office or person.

You answer the questions in English or Hindi and the letter comes out in Hindi, in the usual order: To, Subject, Sir or Madam, your request, thanks, and your signature with address, place and date. What you type in the free-text boxes goes into the letter exactly as typed, so write those in Hindi to get a fully Hindi letter. Print it on plain paper and sign it. Keep a copy and ask the office to stamp and sign that copy as received — a bank or school counter will usually do it on the spot. Attach photocopies of what the office will ask for: your ID, address proof, the bill or the account statement. Not for a sworn statement, which is an affidavit, and not for a legal notice. Not for an RTI request or a consumer-commission complaint, which have their own forms and fees.

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

No stamp paper is needed in Punjab or in Chandigarh. An application letter is written on plain paper, and it creates or transfers nothing. If the office or scheme asks for a fee, a court-fee stamp or an affidavit with your application, its form or notice board will say so — the letter itself carries none.

Registration

Not registrable. The letter is handed to the office or posted to it; there is nothing to register.

Notarisation

Not required. Sign it by hand, keep a signed photocopy, and ask the receiving office to put its stamp, date and signature on that copy. At a police station, ask at the same time for the receipt or the diary number. If the office also wants a sworn statement, that is a separate affidavit, sworn before a notary.

Witnesses

None required.
