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.Source: Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa ↗
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.Source: Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa ↗
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.Source: Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa ↗
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.Source: Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa ↗
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.Source: Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa ↗
