Arya Samaj Court Marriage & Registration Pitampura

For the belt where nobody has an employer: which papers a self-employed household actually needs, which ones to leave at the office — and the nominations no HR department will ever remind you to file, set out with the statute quoted.

Quick answer: Two things are different when the family runs a business rather than draws a salary. First, the documents. There is no salary slip and no employee card, and that is not a gap — every “documents required” list online was written for a salaried applicant. Bring personal papers only: Aadhaar, PAN, the school leaving certificate, the home’s bill, a bank record with your home address. Leave the partnership deed, GST certificate, trade licence and returns at the office — a marriage file answers two questions, who you are and where you live. Second, the nominations. A salaried person is eventually handed a form by an HR department; a business household is handed one by nobody, so the bank and insurance nominations are the only ones you have. Section 45ZA of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 makes a nominee entitled “notwithstanding anything contained in any other law … or in any disposition, whether testamentary or otherwise”, and “to the exclusion of all other persons” — but its proviso preserves any claim against the person paid, so a nomination decides who is paid, not who ultimately keeps. The RBI’s directions add the practical half: claims settled within 15 days of receipt, and no succession certificate, probate or indemnity bond to be demanded where a nomination or survivorship clause exists, irrespective of the amount. Ceremony ₹5,100, with registration ₹7,100. We do not provide witnesses.

The Belt With No HR Department

Pitampura and the blocks around it are full of households where nobody has an employer. The family runs a shop, a trading firm, a small manufacturing unit at Netaji Subhash Place, a clinic, a coaching centre, a transport business, a property practice. Income comes from a firm, not from a salary. And that changes two things about getting married that nobody points out.

The first is small and easily handled: a self-employed person's documents are a different set. There is no salary slip, no employee identity card, no letter from an HR department. Every list of "documents required" on the internet was written with a salaried applicant in mind, which is why so many people from this belt arrive at a first call convinced they are missing something. They are not.

The second matters much more, and it surfaces years later. A salaried person's most important post-marriage paperwork is done by an office — the provident fund nomination, the gratuity nomination, the group insurance, the benefits file. Somebody eventually asks them to sign something. Nobody asks a self-employed person anything. There is no HR department to send a form, no induction, no annual reminder. So for a business household, the nominations on the bank accounts and the insurance policies are not one part of the picture — they are the whole of it, and they are the only ones anybody will ever prompt you about, which is to say never.

That is why the middle of this page is about the law of bank nomination, set out properly, with the statute quoted. It is dull and it is the most valuable hour a business family can spend after a wedding. The general law of marriage and registration is on our process, documents and registration pages and is not repeated here.

Before either half, the sentence this belt needs: your business papers have nothing to do with whether you can marry. Under section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act the ceremony itself is what marries you, on the day it happens — and the Act does not ask whether the firm is a proprietorship, a partnership or a company, nor whether last year's return has gone in.

Keep the Firm Out of the Marriage File

This is the single most common self-inflicted problem we see from a business belt. A family that deals with paperwork all day treats a marriage file like a tender submission: everything in, the fatter the better. Partnership deed, GST registration, trade licence, shop establishment paper, the firm's electricity bill, the CA's letter, last year's return.

None of that belongs in a marriage registration file, and putting it in makes things worse in two ways. It invites questions about matters nobody needed to ask about. And it mixes up two different addresses — the firm's and yours — which is how a file ends up with two versions of where you live in it.

DocumentIs it a marriage-file document?
Aadhaar, PAN, passport, driving licenceYes. Personal identity, in your own name. This is the core of the file.
School leaving certificateYes — the strongest thing you have for date of birth, and worth carrying even when nobody asks.
Your home's electricity or water billYes, as residence material. The home's bill, not the shop's.
Bank passbook or statement carrying your home addressYes. Useful precisely because it is in your own name and posted to where you live.
Partnership deed, GST certificate, trade licence, shop paperNo. Leave them at the office. They describe a business, not a person or a residence.
Income tax return or a CA's certificateNo, for the marriage file. They matter for a visa file or a loan file, which is a different errand on a different day.
The firm's rent agreement or the shop's billNo. If the family lives above the shop, use the description of the residential portion, and use it identically everywhere.

A single discipline covers all of it: the marriage file answers two questions only — who you are, and where you live. Anything that answers a third question is noise, and noise is what gets a file read twice.

Address Proof When Your Income Papers Are Business Papers

Having said what to leave out, here is what a self-employed person in this belt actually uses, in order of strength.

Your Aadhaar, carrying your home address. Read it off the card rather than from memory, and then write exactly that on every form — same spelling of the block, same punctuation, same pin code. Half the files returned in north-west Delhi are returned over a difference between a form and an Aadhaar that both describe the same flat.

A utility bill for the home. If the connection is in a parent's name, that is normal and it still corroborates the household; your Aadhaar is what carries your name.

Your bank record. Self-employed households usually have several accounts, and at least one of them was opened with the home address. That statement or passbook is a record in your own name made by an institution that verified it.

Your passport, if you hold one. Often the cleanest single document a business family owns, because it was checked carefully when it was issued.

Your entry in the electoral roll. Free to correct and in your own name, which is the combination nothing else on this list offers. Our Janakpuri page sets out the Election Commission's own forms for shifting an entry.

And where a young person's Aadhaar still shows a hostel, a previous flat or a parent's earlier address, and they have nothing of their own to fix it with, the Authority's Head-of-Family route exists for exactly that situation — the particulars, the fee and the thirty-day consent window are on our Laxmi Nagar page.

One thing worth saying because a business belt asks it more than most: no amount of document quality speeds up a statutory period. A perfect file does not shorten the Special Marriage Act's thirty-day notice by a day. What a perfect file does is make sure the date you were given is not wasted, which is a different and more achievable benefit.

Planning It Around a Business That Does Not Close

A shop or a unit cannot simply shut for a day, and a self-employed person loses income rather than leave. Four practical notes from this belt specifically.

Take the first slot of the morning. The government counter works in the morning; a mid-day plan becomes a whole day the moment anything runs slow. A morning that ends by noon costs a business half a day.

Do the errands the evening before. Photocopies, any affidavit, the witnesses' documents checked, everything in one folder. The failed mornings we hear about are almost always a shut photocopy shop or an original left at home.

Pick the date against your own calendar, not the wedding season's. A trading family knows exactly which weeks of the year it cannot spare anybody. Say those weeks out loud on the first call and we plan around them; there is no legal reason to prefer any particular date, because a marriage is valid on any day of any month.

Send the right two people. This is the part families in business get wrong most often, and it is covered further down — but in short, the two witnesses need to be people who can actually stand in a room for an hour on a working morning, which in a family firm is not always the two people you would name first.

VERIFIED — What a Bank Nomination Actually Is, in the Statute's Own Words

Almost everybody has ticked a nomination box at a bank counter without being told what it does. It is worth reading, once, because it is stronger than people think in one direction and weaker in another, and both halves matter to a family that keeps money in a firm's name and a home's name at the same branch.

Section 45ZA of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 — "Nomination for payment of depositors' money" — provides:

Sub-section (1). Where a deposit is held to the credit of one or more persons, the depositor, or all the depositors together, "may nominate, in the prescribed manner, one person to whom in the event of the death of the sole depositor or the death of all the depositors, the amount of deposit may be returned by the banking company." Note one person, and note that joint depositors nominate together.

Sub-section (2), which is the powerful part. "Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law … or in any disposition, whether testamentary or otherwise, in respect of such deposit," where a nomination made in the prescribed manner confers the right to receive the deposit, "the nominee shall, on the death of the sole depositor or … all the depositors, become entitled to all the rights … to the exclusion of all other persons, unless the nomination is varied or cancelled in the prescribed manner."

Read those words slowly. Notwithstanding any other law. Notwithstanding any will. To the exclusion of all other persons. A validly made nomination is not a suggestion the bank may weigh against the family's views — it is the answer to the question of whom the bank pays.

Sub-section (3). Where the nominee is a minor, the depositor may appoint a person to receive the amount should the depositor die during the nominee's minority. That single sentence is the one young parents in this belt most often need and never hear about.

Sub-section (4), and its proviso — the part nobody quotes. Payment made in accordance with the section "shall constitute a full discharge to the banking company of its liability in respect of the deposit" — "Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall affect the right or claim which any person may have against the person to whom any payment is made under this section."

Which is the whole distinction between a nomination and a disposition of property, in one proviso. The bank is finished once it pays the nominee. The family is not necessarily finished with the nominee. A nomination settles who receives; it does not, by itself, settle who is ultimately entitled to keep.

So Is a Nomination as Good as a Will? No — and That Is the Point

Put the two halves of section 45ZA together and you get the correct mental model, which is worth more than any amount of general advice.

QuestionWhat the section does
Whom does the bank pay?The nominee, to the exclusion of all other persons, notwithstanding any other law or any will.
Is the bank protected?Yes — payment is a full discharge of the bank's liability.
Is the nominee now the owner?Not settled by this section. The proviso preserves any right or claim another person may have against the person paid.
What does that mean in practice?A nomination makes money reach a named person quickly. What happens between family members afterwards is a separate question on separate law.

The practical conclusion for a business household is not complicated. Get the nominations right so the money moves; arrange your affairs properly so that nobody has to argue about it afterwards. Those are two jobs, not one, and doing the first is no reason to skip the second. Wills, and how they sit alongside nominations and joint holdings, are dealt with on our Hari Nagar page. We do not draft wills and we do not advise on succession; what we can do is tell you honestly that a ticked box at a bank counter is not the same thing as having arranged matters.

And the nomination for things rather than money: section 45ZC of the same Act covers articles left in safe custody with a bank — the person may nominate one person to whom the article may be returned on death, and that nominee becomes entitled to its return "to the exclusion of all other persons, unless the nomination is varied or cancelled in the prescribed manner", with the same provision for a minor nominee. For a family that keeps documents or jewellery with a bank, that is a separate nomination from the one on the account, and it is separately forgotten.

VERIFIED — "Either or Survivor", and the Four Things a Bank Must Not Demand

This section exists because of one recurring story: a death in the family, a bank branch, and a relative being told to produce a succession certificate before anything can be released. It is worth knowing what the Reserve Bank has actually directed.

On nomination coverage. The Reserve Bank's direction is that "nomination facility should be made available to all types of deposit accounts, irrespective of the nomenclature used by different banks", that banks should actively encourage nominations, and that an account may not be refused because a customer declines to nominate. For a safe deposit locker, nomination is in favour of a single individual, and the bank is to give a written acknowledgment of the nomination.

On "Either or Survivor". Where a fixed or term deposit is opened with that operating instruction, "the signatures of both the depositors need not be obtained for payment of the amounts of the deposits on maturity", and payment to the survivor operates as a valid discharge.

On what must not be insisted upon — the sentence to know by heart. Banks are directed not to demand a "succession certificate, letter of administration or probate, etc., or obtain any bond of indemnity or surety from the survivor(s)/nominee, irrespective of the amount standing to the credit of the deceased account holder."

Irrespective of the amount. That is the phrase that ends the argument at a counter, politely, where a nomination or a survivorship clause exists. Not because anybody should quote directions across a desk in a bad moment, but because knowing it exists changes what you agree to do: a family that knows this does not spend four months and a lawyer's fee obtaining a document that was never required.

Two honest qualifications. First, where there is no nomination and no survivorship clause, the position is different and the bank's own claim procedure applies; that is precisely the situation nominations exist to avoid. Second, directions of this kind are revised from time to time, so a family in a dispute should be guided by an advocate on the current position rather than by any website — including this one.

The Fifteen-Day Norm, and What to Have Ready

The other figure worth carrying is the timetable. The Reserve Bank's direction is that banks "settle the claims in respect of deceased depositors and release payments to survivor(s) / nominee(s) within a period not exceeding 15 days from the date of receipt of the claim subject to the production of proof of death of the depositor and suitable identification."

Two weeks, from the date the claim is received — subject, note, to proof of death and identification being produced. Which tells you exactly what to prepare in advance, and it is a short list:

The death certificate, in enough certified copies that you are not photocopying a single one around the city.

Identification of the survivor or nominee, which is ordinary photo identity.

The account details and the passbook or statement, so the branch is not searching.

And, where the relationship has to be shown, the marriage certificate. This is where the whole of this page joins up. A spouse establishing who they are to an institution does it with a marriage certificate, and a family that never registered has to establish the same relationship a harder way at the worst possible time. That is the strongest argument for registration we can make, and it has nothing to do with the law of validity. Registration does not make you married — Order 8 of Delhi's 2014 Order says as much in terms. What it does is make you provably married on a day when nobody in the family is in a state to prove anything.

The corollary, for a business family, is the sheet of paper worth writing this month: every account, every policy, every locker, who is the nominee on it, and where the papers are kept. One page, in a drawer both spouses know about. It takes an evening and it is the difference between a two-week claim and a two-year one.

The Month After the Wedding, for a Household With No Office to Do It For You

A salaried couple gets prompted. Somebody in an HR department eventually hands them a form, and the provident fund and gratuity nominations get refiled — those two carry statutory consequences on marriage and are set out with the statutory wording on our Laxmi Nagar page. A business household gets prompted by nobody. So here is the list, in the order that matters, for people who have to do it themselves.

One — check the certificate the day it arrives. Both names, both fathers' names, the date of the marriage, the date of registration, the issuing office, the entry number. Six fields, two minutes. Raised on day one it is a clerical correction; raised in 2032 it is an application, a wait and an explanation.

Two — walk into your own bank branch, with the certificate. Not for the address change, which is the small part. For the nomination on every account, personal and any account you operate, and for the operating instruction on joint accounts — "either or survivor" is a decision, not a default, and it is the difference between a survivor being paid and a survivor waiting.

Three — the locker and anything in safe custody. A separate nomination under a separate provision, on a separate form, with a written acknowledgment you should keep. Nobody has ever been reminded of this by a bank.

Four — every insurance policy. The nomination matters more than the address. A policy bought at twenty-four naming a parent is a policy that will be paid to a parent.

Five — the firm's own arrangements, if you have partners. What happens to a partner's share, who may operate the firm's accounts, and what the deed says about death or retirement, are questions for the family's advocate and its chartered accountant — not for us, and not for a website. Marriage is a good moment to ask them, because it is the one time in a business family's life when everybody is already thinking about the future.

Six — the electoral roll, if either of you has moved, and Aadhaar if an address is changing.

Not on the list: changing a name. No law requires it after marriage, it is a separate exercise with its own sequence and cost, and for a woman who signs cheques, holds a GST registration and has a degree in her maiden name, the honest advice is usually to leave it alone. Our name change page says so at length.

The Ceremony, and What Registration Adds to It

The Arya Samaj route suits this belt for an unglamorous reason: it is a real ceremony that takes a morning, both families recognise it as a wedding, and the registration can be handled alongside it rather than as a separate project.

The ceremony is the thing that marries you. Section 7(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act recognises solemnisation by either party's customary rites, and section 7(2) fixes the moment precisely where those rites run to saptapadi — the seventh step, after which the marriage is complete and binding. A printed certificate and a register entry both come later, and neither is the moment.

Registration makes it provable, which — as the whole of the banking material above shows — is the thing that gets used. Our published charge is ₹5,100 for the ceremony alone and ₹7,100 with the registration handled, and we push the second for a reason that has nothing to do with the extra two thousand: the people who wish they had registered are never the people who did.

For a couple who wants the civil route instead, the Special Marriage Act is a complete Act of its own with a thirty-day notice that is entered in the Marriage Notice Book and published, the book being open to inspection. For most families that is irrelevant; for a family in a business community where everyone knows everyone, it is worth deciding with open eyes at the start. Our court marriage page sets the machinery out properly.

Which Office, and the Boundary in the North-West

We do not publish office allocations anywhere on this site. Delhi's districts and sub-divisions were redrawn during 2026, an application is allotted on the basis of the exact address entered, and a page that prints an office name confidently creates the wasted journey it was trying to prevent. Certificates issued before the reorganisation remain fully valid; a renamed district changes nothing about a document already in your hand.

The boundary on this side of the city:

Pitampura, Kohat Enclave, Rani Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, Ashok Vihar, Paschim Vihar, Rohini and Netaji Subhash Place are all Delhi. There is no State line to trip over inside this belt, which makes it simpler than east or west Delhi.

Bahadurgarh and Sonipat are Haryana. The Rohtak road and the Sonipat side are where north-west Delhi families most often have a second address — a unit, a plot, a farmhouse, a family home — and if either of you actually resides across that line, say so on the first call. It changes which residence proof does the work, and on the Special Marriage Act route it changes where the notice is given, which is a month if it is got wrong.

For an old entry nobody can locate — a duplicate wanted for a marriage registered long ago, with no clarity on where the register sits today — begin with a written request, and if that goes unanswered the Right to Information route does the work. Our Mayur Vihar Phase 2 page walks through it. And where an application is simply sitting, Delhi's own time-bound service law and how to use it without antagonising anybody is on our Lajpat Nagar page.

Pitampura and the Blocks Around It

We work across the whole of north-west Delhi. The table is here because the documentary problem shifts from block to block, and knowing yours removes most of the guesswork before you telephone.

AreaWhat the file usually turns on
Pitampura, Kohat Enclave, Saraswati ViharBusiness households with no employer and no salary slip. Personal documents only — leave the firm's papers at the office.
Netaji Subhash Place and the industrial blocksUnit owners and staff who cannot close for a day. The earliest morning slot, and errands done the night before.
Rani Bagh, Tri NagarName-change questions for women who run businesses in their maiden name — our Rani Bagh page is written on exactly that.
Shalimar Bagh, Ashok ViharA mix of DDA flats and society flats; the address chain discipline on our Janakpuri page applies directly.
Rohini and the sector blocksPlanned-colony addresses with block-and-pocket notation; same discipline.
Paschim Vihar, PeeragarhiSociety paperwork and builder floors with connections in a previous owner's name.
Bawana and the outer beltTravel and the number of trips a file really takes — our Bawana page deals with it.
Narela, Alipur, the Sonipat sideCheck which side of the Haryana line the residence actually is on before anything is filed.

Witnesses in a Family-Firm Belt

A witness has one job: to be present, to see what happens, and to sign to it with their own identity document. In this belt that simple requirement runs into a particular difficulty, which is worth naming because it produces most of the failed mornings here.

The two people a business family names first are usually the two people who cannot be spared. The uncle who runs the counter, the brother who handles the bank work, the senior man who has been with the firm for thirty years — these are exactly the people whose absence for three hours on a working morning is felt, and exactly the people who therefore arrive late, leave early, or send a message that they cannot come after all.

So choose on availability rather than on seniority. An adult who knows you and can genuinely give you a morning is a better witness than a more important relative who cannot. Confirm both of them two days ahead, and keep a third name in reserve — the reserve costs nothing and the failed morning costs everybody a working day.

The second point is one nobody makes. Where there is any real prospect of the marriage being questioned later — a family that has objected, an earlier marriage in the background, property that people are watching — think about who your witnesses are connected to. Two people with a direct stake in the family business are not the strongest witnesses you could have brought, and whether that ever matters depends on facts none of us can predict. In an ordinary wedding it is a non-issue; where a dispute is foreseeable, choose two people who have nothing to gain either way.

The full requirement, and where the exposure sits, is on our witnesses page. And the line that does not move: we do not provide witnesses, at any price, because a stranger certifying a ceremony he did not attend is a risk to himself and to you.

Ten Mistakes Business Families in This Belt Make

One — submitting the firm along with the couple. A partnership deed, a GST certificate and last year's return in a marriage file answer questions nobody asked. Two questions are being asked: who you are, and where you live.

Two — using the shop's bill as residence proof. The home's bill, or your Aadhaar. A commercial connection describes premises, not a residence.

Three — assuming a self-employed person is missing documents. No salary slip and no employee card is not a gap. The lists online were written for salaried applicants.

Four — believing a ticked nomination box is the same as arranging your affairs. It is not. Section 45ZA's proviso preserves any claim another person may have against the person paid; the nomination decides who the bank pays, not who ultimately keeps.

Five — nominating nobody, because the account is joint. A joint account without an "either or survivor" instruction and without a nomination is the worst of both arrangements. The instruction is a decision you make, not a default you inherit.

Six — forgetting the locker. Safe custody and lockers carry their own nomination, on their own form, and the bank is to give a written acknowledgment. Nobody will ever remind you.

Seven — accepting a demand for a succession certificate. Where a nomination or a survivorship clause exists, the Reserve Bank's direction is that banks must not insist on a succession certificate, letter of administration or probate, or take an indemnity bond or surety — irrespective of the amount.

Eight — leaving a parent as nominee on a policy bought at twenty-four. It will be paid exactly as written. Whether that is what you want is a decision to make deliberately, not by neglect.

Nine — naming the two busiest people in the firm as witnesses. Choose on availability, not seniority, and keep a third name in reserve.

Ten — expecting a perfect file to shorten a statutory period. Nothing shortens the Special Marriage Act's thirty days. A good file protects the date you have; it cannot buy an earlier one.

What We Charge

One price list for the whole city. There is no premium for a business address and no discount for a simple file.

ServiceChargeWhat is included
Arya Samaj ceremony only₹5,100The rites at the mandir with the institution's certificate. Married from that day under section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act; nothing yet on any government record.
Ceremony with registration handled₹7,100The wedding plus the government work. For the reasons set out above about banks and claims, this is the version that actually gets used.
An older marriage registered now₹6,000Any past year. ₹12,000 where the proof must be reconstructed from photographs, cards and whatever the family kept.
Special Marriage Act, complete route₹15,000Notice, the period it runs, the declaration before three witnesses, the certificate. The notice is published and the book is open to inspection.
Premium, fully managed₹56,000Everything handled end to end. Right for a few families; unnecessary for most, and we will say which you are.
Duplicate certificate or register extract₹2,500From the office holding the entry, for a party to the marriage.
Apostille and attestation handling₹4,500The whole authentication chain assembled and followed through. Note how small the state's own share of it is: normal attestation carries no fee at all, and an apostille is charged at ₹50 for each document or page.
Government fees₹100 · ₹200 · ₹15₹100 to the Marriage Clerk under the Hindu Marriage Act, ₹200 as the 2014 Order's requisite fee, ₹15 to the cashier of the District for a Special Marriage Act solemnisation. Take a receipt each time.
Bank and locker nominationsNothing, to anyoneYour own branch's forms, free of charge. Anybody billing you for filling them is billing you for an afternoon of your own time.
Wills, partnership and succession adviceNot offeredAn advocate's work and a chartered accountant's. We will say so rather than take the fee.
WitnessesNever, at any priceTwo adults who know you and can give you a working morning.

An older marriage brings in the Order's charges, which are not ours: a condonation of ₹500 if you are inside the second sixty days, and beyond that a ₹1,000 penalty that the ADM or DM has power to remit. Because it never compounds, the bill is the same whether the wedding was in 2009 or last month. Our fee page carries everything, and late registration has its own page.

Sources, and What This Page Refuses to Say

Sourced. The Banking Regulation Act, 1949 — section 45ZA in full: sub-section (1) on nominating "one person" and joint depositors nominating together; sub-section (2), that "notwithstanding anything contained in any other law … or in any disposition, whether testamentary or otherwise" the nominee becomes entitled "to the exclusion of all other persons, unless the nomination is varied or cancelled in the prescribed manner"; sub-section (3) on appointing a person to receive the amount where the nominee is a minor; and sub-section (4), that payment "shall constitute a full discharge to the banking company of its liability", with its proviso that this does not affect "the right or claim which any person may have against the person to whom any payment is made". And section 45ZC, nomination for the return of articles kept in safe custody, on the same exclusionary terms and with the same provision for a minor nominee.

The Reserve Bank of India's directions to banks: that "nomination facility should be made available to all types of deposit accounts, irrespective of the nomenclature used by different banks", with banks to encourage nomination and not to refuse an account where a customer declines; that a safe deposit locker nomination is in favour of a single individual with a written acknowledgment from the bank; that where a fixed or term deposit carries "Either or Survivor" instructions "the signatures of both the depositors need not be obtained for payment of the amounts of the deposits on maturity"; that claims of deceased depositors are to be settled and payments released to survivors or nominees "within a period not exceeding 15 days from the date of receipt of the claim subject to the production of proof of death of the depositor and suitable identification"; and that banks must not insist on a "succession certificate, letter of administration or probate, etc., or obtain any bond of indemnity or surety from the survivor(s)/nominee, irrespective of the amount standing to the credit of the deceased account holder."

For the marriage side: sections 7(1) and 7(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act; the Special Marriage Act on notice, publication in the Marriage Notice Book, the thirty days allowed for objection and the three witnesses before whom the declaration is signed; from the Delhi (Compulsory Registration of Marriage) Order, 2014 the requisite fee of ₹200, the window of sixty days, condonation at ₹500, the penalty of ₹1,000, and Order 8's statement that registration will not tantamount to validity of marriage; the Delhi Revenue Department for the ₹100 and ₹15 fees and the morning counter; and the Ministry of External Affairs on attestation being free with ₹50 per document or page for an apostille.

What this page will not tell you. Who is ultimately entitled to a deposit as between family members — section 45ZA's proviso leaves that open on purpose and it is an advocate's question on your facts, not ours. What your partnership deed provides on a partner's death or retirement — read it with your own advocate and accountant. Whether a particular bank's current claim procedure matches the directions quoted — directions are revised from time to time, so in a live dispute take current advice rather than a website's paragraph. Which office serves a particular Pitampura address — allotted on the exact address after a reorganisation that moved boundaries. And the order of the post-wedding list is our own experience of what saves families trouble, offered as practice and not as law.

Three Things to Have Ready Before You Telephone

One — your Aadhaar, read aloud from the card. The block, the flat, the spelling, the pin code. If it still carries an older address, say so at the start; there is a published route to fix it and it changes the plan.

Two — the weeks your business genuinely cannot spare anybody. Say them out loud. There is no legal reason to prefer any date, so we plan around your calendar rather than the other way round.

Three — who can actually give you a working morning. Two adults, confirmed, with a third in reserve. Not the two most senior people in the firm, unless they are also the two who will really turn up.

Call +91 8376863962. If what you actually need is an advocate for a will, or a chartered accountant for the firm, we will tell you that plainly and there is nothing to pay for the conversation.

Pitampura Couples — Your Questions56 Questions Answered

Do you cover Pitampura and Netaji Subhash Place?▼
Yes, and this belt is regular work for us. The ceremony takes place at our mandir with the registration handled alongside it — ₹5,100 for the ceremony and ₹7,100 with registration.
I am self-employed. Which documents do I bring instead of a salary slip?▼
Personal ones only: Aadhaar, PAN, your school leaving certificate for date of birth, your home's utility bill and a bank record carrying your home address. There is no gap to fill — the document lists online were written for salaried applicants.
Should I bring the partnership deed and GST certificate?▼
No. Leave them at the office. A marriage file answers two questions — who you are and where you live — and a document that answers a third only invites questions nobody needed to ask.
Can I use the shop's electricity bill?▼
Use the home's. A commercial connection describes premises rather than a residence. If the family lives above the shop, use the residential description and use it identically on every form.
Is an income tax return useful here?▼
Not for a marriage file. It matters for a visa file or a loan file, which is a different errand on a different day.
Our home and our firm are at the same address. What do we write?▼
Pick the description of the residential portion and repeat it character for character everywhere — same spelling, same punctuation, same pin code as your Aadhaar. Mixing the two descriptions is how a file ends up with two versions of where you live.
What gets a north-west Delhi file returned most often?▼
A difference between the form and the Aadhaar that both describe the same flat. Read the address off the card rather than from memory.
My Aadhaar still has my parents' old address.▼
Then fix that first, and if you have nothing of your own to fix it with, use the Head-of-Family route — the documents accepted, the fee and the thirty-day consent window are on our Laxmi Nagar page.
Why does this page talk about bank nominations?▼
Because a salaried person is eventually handed a form by an HR department and a business household is handed one by nobody. For a self-employed family the bank and insurance nominations are the only nominations there are.
What does a bank nomination actually do?▼
Section 45ZA of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 lets a depositor nominate one person to whom the deposit may be returned on death, and provides that notwithstanding any other law or any will, that nominee becomes entitled to the deposit to the exclusion of all other persons unless the nomination is varied or cancelled.
Notwithstanding a will? Really?▼
Those are the statute's words. A validly made nomination is not a suggestion the bank weighs against the family's views — it is the answer to whom the bank pays.
So is a nomination as good as a will?▼
No, and the same section says why. Sub-section (4) makes payment a full discharge of the bank's liability, but its proviso preserves any right or claim a person may have against the person who was paid. A nomination settles who receives; it does not by itself settle who is entitled to keep.
Then what should we actually do?▼
Two jobs, not one. Get the nominations right so money moves quickly, and arrange your affairs properly so nobody has to argue afterwards. Wills are on our Hari Nagar page — we do not draft them and we do not advise on succession.
Can we nominate two people on one account?▼
The section speaks of nominating one person, and where depositors are joint they nominate together. Your branch will tell you what its form allows; do not assume you have nominated two people because you wrote two names somewhere.
What if the nominee is a minor?▼
The section allows the depositor to appoint a person to receive the amount should the depositor die during the nominee's minority. It is the provision young parents most often need and least often hear about.
Does a locker have its own nomination?▼
Yes, and so do articles left in safe custody, under section 45ZC — a separate nomination on a separate form. The Reserve Bank's direction is that a locker nomination is in favour of a single individual and that the bank gives a written acknowledgment. Keep it.
What does 'either or survivor' mean in practice?▼
That the survivor can be paid. On a fixed or term deposit with those instructions, the Reserve Bank's direction is that the signatures of both depositors need not be obtained for payment on maturity. It is a decision you make when the account is opened, not a default you inherit.
The bank is asking for a succession certificate. Is that right?▼
Where a nomination or a survivorship clause exists, the Reserve Bank has directed banks not to insist on a succession certificate, letter of administration or probate, and not to take an indemnity bond or surety from the survivor or nominee — irrespective of the amount. Knowing that exists stops a family spending months on a document that was never required.
And if there is no nomination at all?▼
Then the position is different and the bank's own claim procedure applies, which is precisely the situation nominations exist to avoid. In a live dispute take an advocate's advice on the current position rather than a website's paragraph.
How long should a claim take?▼
The Reserve Bank's direction is that claims of deceased depositors are settled and payments released to survivors or nominees within a period not exceeding fifteen days from the date the claim is received, subject to proof of death and suitable identification being produced.
What should a family have ready for that?▼
Certified copies of the death certificate in enough numbers, photo identity of the survivor or nominee, the account details and passbook — and, where the relationship has to be shown, the marriage certificate.
Is that the real reason to register a marriage?▼
It is the most practical one we can give. Registration does not make you married — Order 8 of Delhi's 2014 Order says so in terms. It makes you provably married on a day when nobody in the family is in any state to prove anything.
What is the one thing a business couple should do this month?▼
Write one sheet: every account, every policy, every locker, who the nominee is on each, and where the papers are kept. Put it where both of you can find it. An evening's work, and it is the difference between a two-week claim and a two-year one.
Do you charge for helping with nominations?▼
Nothing, and nobody should. They are your own branch's forms, free of charge. Anyone billing you for them is billing you for an afternoon of your own time.
When are we actually married — at the ceremony or at the registration?▼
At the ceremony. Section 7(1) recognises a Hindu marriage solemnised by either party’s customary rites, and where saptapadi forms part of them section 7(2) fixes the moment at the seventh step, from which the marriage is complete and binding.
Then why pay the extra for registration?▼
Because the certificate is what institutions use, as the banking material on this page shows. The people who wish they had registered are never the people who did.
Is the court marriage notice public?▼
Yes. Under the Special Marriage Act the notice is entered in the Marriage Notice Book and published, and the book is open to inspection. In a business community where everybody knows everybody, decide that at the start rather than in the fourth week.
Can the notice period be shortened for us?▼
No. Thirty days is in the statute, and no fee, no file and no agent changes it. A well-prepared file protects the date you have; it cannot buy an earlier one.
Which office ends up handling our file?▼
That is decided by the exact address entered, which is why we print no office names anywhere on this site — and Delhi redrew its districts and sub-divisions during 2026, so a confident guess in print would simply send somebody on a wasted trip.
Is a certificate from before the reorganisation still valid?▼
Entirely. A renamed district changes nothing about a document you already hold.
Is there a State boundary problem in this belt?▼
Not inside it — Pitampura, Kohat Enclave, Rani Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, Ashok Vihar, Paschim Vihar, Rohini and NSP are all Delhi. Bahadurgarh and Sonipat are Haryana, so if either of you actually resides across that line, say so on the first call.
We have a unit in Sonipat but live in Pitampura.▼
Then you reside in Delhi and the business address is irrelevant to the file. Say both facts once and we will tell you which document does the work.
We need a duplicate of a certificate from years ago.▼
The first task is locating the office that now holds that register entry. Start with a written request; if it is ignored, the Right to Information route produces an answer on paper. Our Mayur Vihar Phase 2 page takes it step by step.
Our application is just sitting with nobody acting on it.▼
Delhi has its own time-bound service law with a stipulated period and a compensation payable by the officer who is late. How to use it without antagonising the counter is set out on our Lajpat Nagar page.
What time of day should we plan for?▼
The first slot of the morning. The counter works in the morning, and a mid-day plan becomes a whole lost day the moment anything runs slow.
Any advice for a shop that cannot close?▼
Do the photocopies and any affidavit the previous evening, keep everything in one folder, and send people who can genuinely give you three hours. Almost every failed morning is a shut photocopy shop or an original left at home.
Who should our witnesses be?▼
Two adults who know you and can actually spare a working morning. In a family firm the two most senior people are often the two who cannot be spared, which is why they arrive late or cancel. Choose on availability, confirm two days ahead, keep a third name in reserve.
Is there any problem with witnesses from our own firm?▼
In an ordinary wedding, none. Where a dispute is genuinely foreseeable — a family that has objected, an earlier marriage, property people are watching — two witnesses with a direct stake in the business are not the strongest you could have brought. Choose people with nothing to gain either way.
Will you arrange witnesses?▼
No, at any price. Somebody certifying a ceremony he did not attend is a risk to himself and to you, and the signature is his.
What must a witness carry?▼
Original photo identity and their own address proof, and they sign in front of the officer. Nothing is signed in advance and nothing is sent ahead.
Does my wife have to change her surname?▼
No law requires it. For a woman who signs cheques, holds a registration and has a degree in her maiden name, leaving it alone is usually the better answer — our name-change page explains the Gazette route if you decide otherwise.
What should we check on the certificate?▼
Both names, both fathers' names, the date of marriage, the date of registration, the issuing office and the entry number. Two minutes on day one; an application and a wait if you leave it for years.
We married in 2012 and never got it registered.▼
That is straightforward to put right. The Order’s charges are a ₹500 condonation while you are inside the second sixty days and a ₹1,000 penalty beyond it, which the ADM or DM may remit — and as it never compounds, 2012 is priced the same as last month.
What are the statutory fees?▼
₹100 to the Marriage Clerk under the Hindu Marriage Act, ₹200 as the 2014 Order's requisite fee, and ₹15 to the cashier of the District on the Special Marriage Act route. Collect a receipt for each.
Do you handle wills or partnership questions?▼
No. Those are an advocate's and an accountant's work and we say so rather than taking the fee. A wedding is a sensible moment to ask them, because it is the one time a business family is already thinking about the future.
The certificate has to be used in another country.▼
It has to be authenticated in sequence: the State level first, then the Ministry of External Affairs, and finally either an apostille where the destination belongs to the Hague Convention or attestation plus that country’s own embassy where it does not. The Ministry itself charges nothing for normal attestation and ₹50 per document or page for an apostille.
Is the premium package worth it for us?▼
For most families here, no. The ₹7,100 service does the same work; the premium arrangement is for people who want every part of it taken off their hands.
Can you get an earlier date than the one allotted?▼
Nobody can. Dates follow the office's load and statutory periods are not negotiable. What we can do is make sure nothing in your file wastes the date you were given.
Is a Sunday ceremony fine?▼
Yes — a marriage is valid on any day. The offices are shut, so any registration step moves to the next working day.
Does an auspicious date have legal effect?▼
None whatever. It is a family choice, and the ceremony is equally valid in any month, on any date, at any hour.
Can one of us send papers instead of attending?▼
No. Where both of you are required, both must attend in person. There is no marriage by proxy in India and no power of attorney over your own marital status.
Do you discuss our file with relatives who telephone?▼
No. We do not discuss a couple's file with anybody but the couple. On the Special Marriage Act route the notice itself is public — that is the statute, not us.
What will you refuse to do?▼
We will not find you witnesses, move a date backwards, register a wedding that did not take place, issue a certificate for a ceremony with nobody in the room, or write down anything we know to be false. Whatever is produced ends up in your hands, not ours.
What does the first call cost?▼
Nothing. If the honest answer is that you need a different professional, you will get that answer and no invoice.
What is the single most useful preparation?▼
Read your Aadhaar aloud from the card, know which weeks your business cannot spare anybody, and know which two people will genuinely turn up. Those three answers shape the whole plan.
How do we reach you?▼
Call +91 8376863962. Tell us the block, what your Aadhaar says and any fixed date you are working to, and you will get a straight answer before anything is paid.
