Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Police Verification Form is filled by you and then physically verified by the local police station over time. This affidavit is a self-sworn declaration you submit immediately at the time of joining, usually alongside (not instead of) the police verification process.
Most government recruitment rules require you to disclose any pending case, conviction, or dismissal from previous employment truthfully, rather than leave it blank - many departments still proceed with appointment after due process, but concealment itself is usually treated far more seriously than the underlying case. Don't use this "no pending case" version if that doesn't apply to you - consult your appointing authority about the correct disclosure format instead.
Most government appointing authorities specify notarization on non-judicial stamp paper for this declaration - check your specific joining/appointment letter for the exact requirement and stamp paper value.
Most appointment letters state that your appointment can be terminated, without notice, if any information in this declaration is later found to be false - in addition to any other action the department may take under service rules or law.
This particular wording is written for government job joining, where it's commonly a mandatory step. Some private employers ask for a similar self-declaration too, though the exact wording and requirement vary by company.
