Parents to pay more for affidavits

Neha Pushkarna/ New Delhi

CLAIMING points for nursery admission doesn’t come cheap for the parents. Parents are required to submit affidavits to get points on parameters such as first child, girl child, and single child.

However, notaries across the city are issuing these affidavits at exorbitant prices leaving a hole in parents’ pockets.

They are spending thousands of rupees to get multiple copies of an affidavit made on a stamp paper that costs ` 10.

“ Since all schools want original affidavits, I got 15 of them made from a notary at Moti Nagar market. It should have cost up to ` 30 per affidavit but I bought them at ` 80 each. The notary told me he was giving me a discount as I had ordered multiple affidavits,” Viraj Dave, a resident of Patel Nagar, said.

He said he checked with notary services at Rajouri Garden, Azadpur and even Tis Hazari court premises. “ The prices have been hiked everywhere,” Dave said.

When M AIL T ODAY called up a notary at Saket Court Complex to enquire about the cost, the ‘ advocate’ on the other side said he would make 15 copies of an affidavit within half an hour at ` 100- 150 each.

“ You visit us tomorrow. We can see how much discount we can give you,” he said.

For dosa there are some parameters here as well.. At Haldiram, it is hygienic, fully A/C sitting area, clean environment which we do not get in a market where it cost Rs. 40-60.. So both are different thing...

Instead of Affidavit we should have option to submit self attested declaration for this. Because notary also do not check anything and just attest it.
