Why This Form Is Important

• The affidavit is a sworn declaration made under solemn affirmation, so the deponent is personally accountable for its contents, as stated in the verification clause that "the contents of the above affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief."
• It documents the chain of title for the property, tracing it from the original joint allotment through the death of the other joint allottee to the deponent becoming the sole mutated and registered owner, which is essential for establishing clear legal ownership.
• It explains why the conveyance deed was not executed jointly, by recording the death of the other joint allottee, which supports the DDA's basis for mutating and eventually conveying the flat solely in the deponent's name.
• It records specific, verifiable transaction details, including the stamp duty amount, challan or receipt number, and the registration number, book number, and volume number of the conveyance deed, creating an auditable paper trail for the property transfer.
• It confirms that no refund of the deposited amount has been taken, closing off a potential double claim on funds already paid toward the property.
• It has the deponent accept sole responsibility for any future claims or interests in the property after receiving a specified sum, which protects the paying authority from later disputes over the same funds.
• The verification section, with its place, date, month, and year of swearing, fixes the affidavit in time and place, which is typically required for the document to be notarized or accepted as a valid legal instrument by the DDA or Collector of Stamps.
