AFFIDAVIT
(Divorcee, not remarried)
I, Meera Sharma daughter of Shri Dev Raj, aged about 41 years, resident of House No. 7, Basant Vihar, Amarnagar, Tehsil and District Amarnagar, Punjab, do hereby solemnly affirm and declare as under:
1.That my marriage was dissolved by a decree of divorce passed by the Family Court, Amarnagar, on 05-03-2019.
2.That I have not remarried since the divorce.
3.That I am making this affidavit for family pension after my father, and I shall inform the office concerned if I remarry.
DEPONENT

DEPONENT
What to bring
Papers to bring
- Aadhaar card or another photo identity proof (photocopy; the original to show)
- A certified copy of the divorce decree, and of any appeal judgment
- For a family pension: the parent's PPO or service details, and the parent's death certificate
- Proof of your income, if the pension or scheme has an income limit
- Two recent passport-size photographs, if the office asks for them
Where to go
Sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary, then given to the pension office, the bank or the scheme's office; for a family pension, many offices ask for it again every year.
Fee
If the affidavit is only for a pension, it is usually free of stamp duty; otherwise buy the e-Stamp paper. The attestation fee is paid at the counter; ask there for today's amounts.
Good to know
- Under many pension rules a divorced daughter qualifies only if the divorce case began in a parent's lifetime, and only within an income limit; the pension office applies its rules.
- Tell the office at once if you remarry or take up a job, as the affidavit promises.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
