An Affidavit For Lost Vehicle Registration Certificate is a mandatory legal requirement in India when a vehicle owner's original registration certificate is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond recognition. This document is essential for initiating the process of obtaining a duplicate registration certificate from the Regional Transport Office (RTO). The affidavit must be executed on stamp paper of prescribed value and notarized by a competent authority. It includes crucial details such as the vehicle specifications, circumstances of loss, and a declaration that the original document hasn't been misused or transferred. This affidavit, along with a police complaint and other supporting documents, forms part of the application package required by RTOs across Indian states for issuing duplicate registration certificates. The document serves as both a formal declaration of loss and a protective measure against potential misuse of the lost certificate.
