Correct Answer - Option 3 : Affidavit
  • All the candidates contesting elections have to provide information to the election commission regarding the details of their property and criminal cases pending against them. Such a declaration is called Affidavit.
  • An affidavit filed by a candidate standing in Lok Sabha or Assembly elections is an official declaration of vital information associated with him/her such as the amount of property/wealth owned and criminal cases pending against them.
  • The document filed along with the nomination of the candidate relates to his public disclosure of wealth as well as liabilities in order to help the voters make an informed choice. An affidavit of an election candidate contains the following details (figures in rupees):
  • Total assets, Immovable assets, Movable assets, Investments, Bank balance, Liabilities worth (further sub-divided into categories), Criminal cases pending, Land ownership, Agricultural land, Non-agricultural land, Residential buildings (including apartments), Commercial buildings, Educational qualification
  • Apart from these columns, the affidavit also contains all contact details, including the social media handles of the candidate. Bank account and PAN card details of the person are also sought to ensure complete transparency.
  • In the end, the candidate is required to sign an undertaking confirming that all the information provided by him in the document is admissible and to the best of his knowledge.
  • The whole document is prepared and attached along with a government stamp paper giving it legal credence.
