UP Scholarship Affidavit Format 2025-26: Guide, Sample, and Requirements

Last Updated on December 5, 2025 by Abhijeet chatterjee

The Uttar Pradesh Scholarship schemes, including Pre-Matric, Post-Matric, and Dashmottar, often require an affidavit for verification purposes, particularly for fresh registrations, outside-state studies, income declarations, or non-duplication of benefits. Administered by the Social Welfare Department via https://scholarship.up.gov.in/, affidavits must be notarized on non-judicial stamp paper (INR 10-100) and submitted as hard copies with the application form. As of December 5, 2025, affidavits are mandatory for new students in Dashmottar (open until December 20, 2025) and may be needed for ongoing verifications in Pre/Post-Matric. Common types include self-declaration for income, caste compliance, or undertaking no other scholarships. Failure to submit leads to rejection; ensure attestation by a First-Class Magistrate or Notary Public.

Affidavits confirm factual details like family income below INR 2-2.5 lakh, no criminal records, or study in UP institutions. For 2025-26, use the standard format below, adapted from official guidelines. Downloadable PDFs are available on affiliated sites like SHUATS or IMSEC; always cross-verify with the portal’s “Other Information” section at https://scholarship.up.gov.in/OtherInformation.aspx for updates. In 2024-25, 95% of approved applications included properly formatted affidavits, highlighting their role in fraud prevention.
