→A typed affidavit converted directly from Word or Google Docs to PDF is typically under 500KB — far smaller than a scanned version.
→If an affidavit exceeds the portal's size limit, it must be split into numbered parts (e.g. Affidavit Part 1, Affidavit Part 2) and uploaded separately.
→Visa application portals and employment scheme portals often have stricter limits of 1–5MB for supporting affidavits.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum PDF size for affidavit uploads in Indian courts?+
It varies by jurisdiction. Most Indian district court e-filing systems accept affidavits up to 5–20MB. Visa and employment portals often have stricter limits of 1–5MB. Always check the specific portal's upload instructions.
Why is my scanned affidavit so large?+
Scanning in colour at high resolution (600 DPI+) produces large files. Scanning in black and white at 300 DPI typically reduces a single A4 page to under 200KB.
Should I scan or type my affidavit for e-filing?+
If the court accepts typed PDFs, converting directly from Word to PDF produces the smallest file (typically under 500KB) and is easier to read. Scanned affidavits are larger and may require compression.
What should I do if my affidavit PDF exceeds the court portal's size limit?+
Split the affidavit into numbered parts and upload each separately. Label them clearly (e.g. Affidavit Part 1 of 2) so the court can reassemble them.
Does compressing an affidavit PDF affect its legal validity?+
No. Compression only reduces image quality slightly. The text content, signatures, and stamps remain intact and legally valid.
