Example of Self Declaration Form - Templates / Formats

A self-declaration is a statement made by a person declaring that all the statements of facts, figures and circumstances mentioned in a document is true and correct. Unlike an Affidavit, a Self-declaration doesn't necessarily require to be notarized and witnessed, but one may not do it if needed.

In simple words, a self-declaration is a method of double check wherein the person, in a way, swears that he has gone through all the statements made in a document by him and none of them are false. Such self-declaration helps the legal authority, who is verifying the said document, to understand and take a decision on the basis of such statements. 

A self-declaration can be made at the bottom of the ending part of the main document for which such declaration is made or else it can be made as a separate document with reference to the main document.

Following formats are examples of such self-declaration. However, it can be a little more descriptive depending upon the case. Affixing the photograph of the person, who is making the declaration, is not mandatory unless it is so required.

Letter to Police to Lodge FIR for Lost or Stolen Mobile and SIM

If you have lost your mobile phone for any reason viz. misplaced it, got stolen, etc., then you should make an application to the local police station to register aa FIR. This will be helpful not only to block the SIM in the mobile but also if possible the mobile could be recovered although the chances are pretty less.

But most importantly, this FIR copy will be very useful in case in future your mobile is misused by someone for any wrongful purpose and as the mobile is registered in your name, you might be blamed for this, so to avoid this unpleasant situation you can produce the copy of FIR as an evidence that the mobile was lost earlier and not in your possession anymore.

Following formats of making application to police station could be used. Modify it appropriately as per your situation with facts of the case.

Permission Letter to Police Station for Marriage Procession

In order to reduce noise pollution and especially to avoid any inconvenience to the general public, the government has made laws to restrict the use of loudspeakers and public address system between certain times in a day.

In certain cases, considering an exceptional situation - the police may allow such usage only after the party has specifically obtained permission for it from the appropriate authority.

Many marriages in India are conducted between late night till early morning and hence the procession of the groom's family and friends starts late at night and continues till almost midnight and beyond. It'd be advisable to take advance permission of the police in such cases, otherwise the police have the right to stop the procession abruptly. In some cases, police may not allow use of loudspeaker in procession after certain time, e.g. after 9-10pm.

Following format of writing an application letter to police authority seeking permission could be useful. If you are not going to use loudspeaker after the permissible time limit, then no permission is needed, but you should write an intimation letter about the marriage procession.
