1. Structured Digital Templates (PDF/Fillable Forms)

The most significant update is the move away from plain paper. The new format requires a specific barcoded or watermarked form, often downloaded from the community’s internal digital portal (e.g., Misaaq Digital or local Jammat portals). Report: Dawoodi Bohra Arzi Format (Updated) 5

• Old Format: Blank white paper, handwritten with specific opening and closing salutations.
• Updated Format: Structured fields with dropdown menus (e.g., for type of request: Nikah, Wasiyat, Taubah, Ilm).

Common Mistakes in the Updated Format to Avoid

Since the launch of the new format, the Risala Committee has noted frequent errors leading to rejection:

1. Incorrect Sequence of Names: The groom’s name must appear before the bride’s on a Nikah Arzi. Reversed order is a common oversight.
2. Missing Hijri Date: The Gregorian date alone is insufficient. The updated format demands both.
3. Using Old Letterheads: Some members still use pre-2020 stationery. The new format has a distinct footer disclaimer: “Saheb-e-Risaala Aali Qadr Muqtada”.
4. Vague Purpose: Writing “Personal work” is no longer accepted. You must select from a dropdown code (e.g., Code 104 = Property Transfer, Code 207 = Educational grant).

4. Digital Priority

While paper is still accepted, digital Arzis (via the official Rasmiyah portal or designated email with PDF attachment) are processed 70% faster than paper ones. Request Dua (blessings) from the Hadd
