Notary services in India

Updated 4 November 2026

Notary fees in India are capped by Rule 10 of the Notaries Rules, 1956, so most acts cost a fixed, modest amount: ₹35 to attest an affidavit or power of attorney, ₹15 to administer an oath, and ₹10 per page for a certified copy with a ₹20 minimum. Stamp paper is a separate cost, and one Bengaluru listing puts a notary service at ₹200 to ₹500. The quickest way to see current offers in your city is to describe the document on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and what to check

Under the Notaries Rules, 1956, the fee for each notarial act is capped, and a notary is expected to show a fee chart. Ask to see it before you pay. The stamp paper for an affidavit starts at ₹100 in one listing, so ask whether it is included in the quote. Some providers quote prices inclusive of GST, so check whether tax is added on top of the fee you are given.

Season and climate

India's climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet monsoon season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Notarial work does not follow the seasons, but heavy monsoon rain can slow travel across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai. If you need a notary to come to you, book the visit for a dry-weather date, and leave time for the papers to be ready before any deadline.

How it is bought here

Notary work is priced per act, not per hour. An affidavit or power of attorney is one act at a fixed fee, certified copies are charged per page with a minimum, and each instrument falls into a value band. Ask a provider to split the quote into the fee, the stamp paper and any charge for a visit, so you can compare like with like.

What to write in your request

Name the notarial act (affidavit, power of attorney, true copy or oath), the subject of the document and the city where you need it. Say when you want the notary, how many parties will sign and how many documents or pages there are. If you need a notary to come to you, say so. Mention your budget, because it helps a notary suggest the right option.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the notarial act in your own words in a chat, and a photo of the document can be added. Buyers pay nothing to use it. The BlaBlaPrice AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India, and shows the prices and businesses it finds.
