Declaration in Resume — Formats and How to Write It

The declaration is a short statement at the end of an Indian CV or biodata confirming that the information is true. It is expected for government, PSU, school and many traditional private-sector applications — and optional for most corporate and IT jobs.

Where to put it

At the very end of the CV, under the heading Declaration. Below the statement, write Place and Date on the left and your signature and name on the right.

When to include it

  • Government jobs, PSUs and municipal posts — yes.
  • Schools and colleges — usually yes.
  • Banks, hospitals, factories — often expected.
  • IT, start-ups and multinational companies — not needed; skip it to save space.
