FAQs

Q1. What is a solvency certificate?: It is a certificate issued by the District Magistrate/Revenue Authority certifying that a person has enough property/assets to meet financial obligations.
Q2. Who needs a solvency certificate?: Contractors; bidders in tenders; court sureties; businessmen; or students (in some cases abroad).

Q4. How long is a solvency certificate valid?: Usually 1 year (varies by state rules).
