Notaries Act 1952



 

The Central Government, for the whole or any part of India, and any such State Government, for the whole or any part of State, may appoint as notaries , any legal practitioners or other persons who possess such qualifications as may be prescribed 

PALNITKAR V.V. (Lawyer)     09 February 2009

You must have some political pool or you should be ready to "spend" besides the qualifications mentioned in the Act.
