The Ministry issues around four hundred NOCs a day, and the sponsorship affidavit is the piece most often handed back. It is judged on four things, and vagueness in any one of them is what fails it.
Name a figure
An affidavit that promises to bear 'all expenses' and stops is the commonest version of this document and the weakest. Officers are looking for a specific sum, in a stated currency, covering a stated list — tuition, living costs, travel, insurance — for the whole length of the programme rather than the first year.
The figure should agree with what your offer letter says the course costs, plus a realistic year of living expenses in that country. A number well below the institution's own published cost invites the question of who is paying the rest.
The source of funds is what is actually assessed
Saying a sponsor has the money matters far less than showing where it is earned. Salaried income, a registered business, agriculture, rental property, foreign employment and savings are all accepted — none is inherently stronger than another, and a well-evidenced farm income beats a vague business every time.
Whatever you name here is what your attachments have to prove. A business needs its PAN or VAT number and registration; salaried income needs the employer and the position; foreign employment needs remittance evidence. Naming one source and attaching evidence of another is a refusal.
What has to travel with it
The affidavit is uploaded as part of a set, not on its own: the relationship certificate proving how the sponsor is related to you, the sponsor's tax clearance, and the sponsor's bank balance certificate. A missing one of those holds up the whole application.
The relationship certificate is a नाता प्रमाणित from your ward office, and the निवेदन that requests it is on this site as well — pick 'नाता प्रमाणित' on the निवेदन page.
Notarisation, and what differs by country
This affidavit is meant to be sworn before a notary; an unnotarised copy is a draft. Beyond that, requirements differ by destination and change more often than published guides keep up with — Japan, Australia, Canada, the UK and the US each ask for the set slightly differently.
Check the current requirement with your own embassy or the Ministry portal before you submit. This is a template that gets the structure and the wording right; it cannot know what your particular consulate asked for this month.
