............DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COVER LETTER AND AN AFFIDAVIT..........
Hi @ ashif, century, oscar and all...here is a lil childish question..as purpose of this forum is to clear our doubts..so please help....
1. Please explain the difference between an affidavit and a cover letter ? -- cover letter is plain white A4 paper where you explain what all is missing in your application and solid reasons for the same. Affidavit is as you suggested in point 2, Govt Stamp Pater and has to be attested by a notary.
2. For an affidavit can we use a plain paper with some heading and sign at the end OR do we need to have it on the Govt Stamp Paper and get it acknowledged from notary ? -No it has to be on govt stamp paper. Rs 10 stamp paper is fine if you are in india
3. I have a reference letter from HR on company head where my name, designation and duration of work is mentioned. I have anothere reference letter on the letter head from my manager on which my duties are mentioned. Now to explain this why this is not on one page what do i need to submit...a cover letter or an affidavit..can someone explain ? -- Nothing. CIC staff is cabable enough to determine that both letter heads are for the same company and are a proof of your employment
4. For birth certificate....My origional BC is in Punjabi..i got it translated and an affidavit from the translator and a notarised copy of the origional one. However, my name is not on that certificate only my date of birth and my fathers name. But i am also giving my 10th class certificate (mark sheet) where my name, my fathers name, my mother's name and DOB is mentioned. Now in this case, what is required a cover letter or an affidavit? - An affidavit is required in this case explaining them that your birth date is this, and your name is missing from the birth certificate and mention your full name in affidavit. Another option is not to submit birth certificate and just submit the 10th certificate without any tranlation requirement
Like the above two scenarios if i have more kind of scenarios, then do i need to provide a cover letter of an affidavit for each problem or can i include everything in a one.....i have read here that someones cover letter was of 4 long pages..hows it can be ?
