Is notary attestation mandatory for this document?

Notary attestation depends on the receiving department. While self-declarations typically require only the applicant's signature, formal submissions to courts, banks, or certain government offices may request notary attestation.

Can I print this draft directly on non-judicial stamp paper?

Yes. Our draft generator provides a customizable top margin setting (typically 2 to 3 inches) so that the legal text starts immediately below the printed government emblem and treasury serial details on the first page of non-judicial stamp paper.

Is my personal information stored or transmitted to your servers?

No. Easy to Doc operates entirely inside your web browser. All form fields, name inputs, and addresses remain in your device's RAM and are never sent to external servers or logged in any database.

What should I do after printing and signing the document?

After printing and signing (and obtaining notary attestation if required), scan the completed physical document using a mobile scanner or flatbed scanner. You can then use Easy to Doc's Compress PDF tool to ensure it meets the file size limit (e.g. under 200KB or 500KB) for portal upload.

Legal Overview, Execution & Stamp Duty Guidelines for RTI Application

Draft and format a standardized RTI Application template for official, educational, and legal submissions across India.

A RTI Application is a formal written document used to record sworn facts, legal undertakings, or official declarations under Indian administrative and legal procedure. Whether you are submitting this instrument to an educational university, a government department, an employer, or a judicial registry, ensuring accurate clauses and adhering to proper state stamp duty and execution requirements is essential, which vary by state and receiving authority.

In India, executing documents such as affidavits, declarations, and deeds is governed by the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as well as respective State Stamp Acts. Requirements for execution on non-judicial stamp paper (typically ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, or ₹100 denomination), digital e-stamping (via Stock Holding Corporation of India / e-GRAS), or plain paper vary depending on the document purpose, jurisdiction, and receiving institution. Where required by the relevant authority, the deponent signs the verification clause before an authorized Notary Public or Executive Magistrate.

Stamp duty varies by state.
