About this template
What is this template?
This document is a sworn statement used to rectify errors in a wealth tax filing under Indian law. It is not a tax return itself but a supporting declaration that confirms the original mistake was unintentional and provides a corrected schedule of assets.
When should you use it?
Use this affidavit when you discover a mistake in your securities reporting after submission and need to formalize a request for amendment. Use a standard 'Revised Return' instead if you are within the statutory window for filing revisions without a separate application.
Who it's for
- an individual assessee in India needing to correct wrongly reported security particulars in a filed return
- a taxpayer whose consultant discovered an inadvertent error during evidence production before a Wealth Tax Officer
