Frequently Asked Questions
No. You still need your original disability certificate issued by an authorised Medical Board (or your UDID card) - this affidavit is a supporting self-declaration you submit alongside it for exam/job reservation, not a replacement for the medical certification itself.
The Unique Disability ID (UDID) is a single national ID and certificate for persons with disabilities, meant to eventually replace the older state-specific disability certificates. Many exam/job authorities now accept the UDID number directly - check whether your specific application needs it, an older certificate, or either.
Most government exams require a benchmark disability of 40% or more (as defined under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016) to claim PwD reservation, though the exact threshold and eligible disability categories can vary by exam - check your specific notification.
A UDID card is valid nationally. A certificate issued by a state medical board before UDID rollout is generally still accepted across India, but some authorities may ask you to get it re-verified locally - check the specific requirement of the exam/job you're applying for.
Many exam and admission authorities accept a plain signed self-declaration for this, but some specifically ask for notarization on stamp paper - check your specific application's instructions.
