A Solvency Certificate is an official document that confirms the financial strength of an individual or business. It certifies that the person’s or company’s assets are greater than their liabilities.

In Delhi, the certificate is issued by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or Tehsildar. Government departments, banks, courts, educational institutions, and other authorities accept it as proof of financial capacity.

  • Participating in property or government auctions
  • Obtaining business loans from banks and financial institutions
