Section 5 — Statutory Declaration [Section 63(2) Compliance]

I hereby solemnly affirm and state that the above-mentioned computer / communication device was under my lawful control for regularly creating, storing, or processing information for the purposes of carrying out regular activities, and during this period the computer or communication device was working properly and the relevant information was regularly fed into the computer during the ordinary course of business or activity. If the computer / digital device at any point of time was not working properly or out of operation, then it has not affected the electronic / digital record or its accuracy. The electronic record produced herewith is a true and accurate reproduction of the original data stored on the said device, and has not been altered or manipulated in any manner whatsoever.

Section 6 — Part B: Certifying Expert Details [BSA Schedule — Expert Signature]

The BSA Schedule requires Part B to be signed by an Expert (Name, Designation & Signature). Select a signing mode, then fill in the details. These fields are optional — if left blank, Part B generates with blank signature lines as before.

Part B Signing Mode

Mode A — Self-Certification

Operator of hash terminal signs Part B

Mode B — Technical Expert

Separate person with IT background signs

MODE A — LEGAL BASIS FOR SELF-CERTIFICATION: Under Interpretation (i) of Section 63(4) BSA, the person who personally operated the hash terminal and has direct knowledge of the computation process may sign Part B. The BSA Schedule specifies no minimum qualification for the Part B signatory. This interpretation is supported by leading Indian legal commentators (LiveLaw, 2024; Obiter.in, 2025) and is the most commonly adopted approach at the district court level. If challenged at the High Court level, be prepared to defend it — the question of who qualifies as "Expert" under Section 63 remains unsettled by the Supreme Court.
