Quick Summary

In India, the Notaries Act, 1952, mandates that notaries must preserve their records. While there isn't a strict statutory time limit, it's generally advised to keep records for at least five to ten years, aligning with the certificate of practice validity. State governments may issue specific instructions regarding record maintenance.

There is no time limit but every state Government concerned may issue instructions on maintaining the records. Generally it is advisable to keep the records at least 10 years.

According to the Notaries Act, 1952 in India, a notary is required to preserve their records for a period of five years as the certificate of practice issued to a notary is valid for five years and can be renewed for subsequent five-year terms.
