Introduction

If there’s a mistake in your child’s name or the parents’ name in the school Transfer Certificate (TC), the school will often ask you to submit an affidavit on a ₹10 e-stamp paper. This affidavit acts as a legal declaration that confirms the correct name and the relationship details. In this blog, we explain what it is, how to make it, and how to submit it to the school.

What is an Affidavit on E-Stamp Paper?

An affidavit is a sworn statement in writing, signed by you and attested by a notary or oath commissioner. When printed on an e-stamp paper (for example ₹10), it becomes a legally valid document. Schools use it to verify the correct details before making changes to official records.

Why is it Required?

• To legally confirm the correct name of the student/parents.
• To prevent misuse or false claims while changing records.
• To comply with education board rules for name corrections.

Step-by-Step: How to Make an Affidavit on ₹10 E-Stamp Paper

1) Draft the Affidavit

Write the contents of the affidavit clearly. For example:

                                                     Affidavit 
The Principal
K.B.S. Shiksha Sadan, Sarai Meera, Kannauj (U.P.)

I, Adesh Singh, son of Gyan Singh, resident of Village – Keshpurwa, Post – Malipur, District – Kannauj (U.P.), do hereby solemnly affirm and declare as follows:

That I am a permanent resident of the above-mentioned address.

That my daughter Payal Yadav was a student of Class V in your school.

That in my daughter’s Aadhaar Card, her mother’s name is recorded as Suman and her father’s name is recorded as Adesh Singh.

That in my daughter’s Transfer Certificate (T.C.), her mother’s name is recorded as Suman Yadav and her father’s name is recorded as Adesh Kumar. That Suman and Suman Yadav are one and the same person, and Adesh Singh and Adesh Kumar are one and the same person.

That I request that the name of my daughter’s mother be corrected to Suman and the father’s name be corrected to Adesh Singh in the school records/Transfer Certificate.

That the statements made above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief; nothing material has been concealed. God help me.

2) Get it Printed on ₹10 E-Stamp Paper

You can buy an e-stamp online (from your state’s official e-stamp portal) or from a local stamp vendor. Ask for a ₹10 e-stamp paper and give them the draft text to print.

3) Sign and Notarize (if needed)

Sign the affidavit and get it attested by a notary or oath commissioner if the school requires it. This step gives it legal validity.

4) Submit to the School

Attach the affidavit with your application and other supporting documents (Aadhaar, birth certificate etc.) and submit to the school office. Take an acknowledgment receipt.

Tips for Parents

• Use the same spelling of names as on Aadhaar and birth certificates.
• Keep photocopies of the affidavit and all documents for your records.
• Check with the school if a notary attestation is mandatory.
• Make sure the place and date are filled correctly before signing.
