Why This Form Is Important

• It is a sworn statement. The deponent "solemnly affirm[s] and declare[s]" each clause and signs as DEPONENT twice (after the clauses and after the verification), so every statement is a personal, signed declaration rather than a casual claim. A false sworn statement can carry legal consequences (general knowledge of Indian law, not taken from an official DDA policy document).
• It ties the declarant to one specific property. The residence block and the property block (house/property no., floor, pocket, block, area, city, state, pin code) let the authority match the declarant's identity to the exact property for which ownership rights are being conferred or recognised.
• It is the declarant's own assertion of ownership. Clauses 1 and 3 state that the declarant is the owner and the true owner, with no concealment or manipulation of facts, which supports the ownership claim in the accompanying application.
• It declares the property free of financial and legal burdens. Clause 2 states there is no loan or mortgage from any Government or Private institution and that the property is free from encumbrances, pending court cases, misuse, legal encumbrances and family disputes, so the authority can proceed without unresolved claims on the property.
• It addresses unauthorized construction and encroachment. Clauses 2 and 4 state there is no unauthorized construction or encroachment over Government, Public or Private land, that the land is free from acquisition and litigation, and that it lies outside the boundaries of village abadi. These read as conditions the authority needs to be satisfied about before recognising ownership (inferred from the wording; no official eligibility rules were provided).
• It guards against double dealing. Clause 5 states that no part of the property conferring ownership right has been sold to any third party, which helps prevent competing claims on the same property.
• It vouches for the application and its documents. Clauses 2 and 6 state that the documents submitted to DDA and annexed to the application are genuine and that the application contents are true and correct, which links this affidavit to the rest of the submission and puts the declarant on record about its accuracy.
• It records when and where the statement was verified. The verification block (day, month, year and place) fixes the date and location of the declaration and confirms the contents are true to the declarant's knowledge and belief, with nothing material concealed.
