Should I mention my salary?

Yes, most families expect it. A range like ₹10 – 15 LPA is fine; you don't have to give the exact figure.

Should I add a photo to my marriage biodata?

Most families expect one. Use a recent, clear photo with a plain background; you can crop and resize it in the editor.

Is it free to make a biodata here?

Yes. You can make, edit and download your biodata as a PDF or JPG for free on ShaadiPatra.

Partner Expectations

I am looking for an educated, independent and understanding partner with a positive outlook on life. Open to settling abroad. Community is no bar.

Sample: Modern professional (English · Modern two-column). Fictional details.

Be specific about your work: designation, company and city tell more than "private job". Income is usually given as a yearly range (₹10 – 15 LPA). If you run a business, mention its name, type and turnover.

Keep the photo simple: a formal or smart-casual shirt, plain background, good light. And keep the About me short and genuine.

What to include

Personal detailsName, date of birth, height, weight, complexion, marital status, religion and caste. The legal minimum marriage age for men in India is 21.
Career & incomeQualification, designation, company, work location and annual income. For business: business name, type and turnover.
Family detailsFather's and mother's names and occupations, brothers and sisters (married or not), family type (joint or nuclear), values and native place.
LifestyleDiet, smoking and drinking. Families ask, so it saves time to say it.
About meThree or four lines about your nature, interests and outlook. Honest and simple beats long and flowery.
Partner expectationsWhat matters most to you: education, values, location, food habits or community. Keep it short and polite.
PhotoA recent, clear photo with a plain background and good light. Smile, and avoid heavy filters or group photos.

Tips

Mention if you own a house or are open to relocating: both come up in early conversations.
Be honest about age, height, income and marital status. Small exaggerations come out in the first meeting.
Keep it to one A4 page if you can. Families often forward it on WhatsApp, and a single page is easiest to read on a phone.
Share it as a PDF or a JPG, never as a Word file: the layout stays exactly as you designed it on every phone.

Start with this sampleEvery detail is pre-filled: replace them with yours, change the design, and download.
