When you need it

You own a house in Himachal Pradesh and want to register it as a homestay or bed-and-breakfast unit under the Himachal Pradesh Home Stay Rules, 2025, made under the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development and Registration Act, 2002. Registration is done through the Tourism Department's online e-Services Portal, and this sworn affidavit is the declaration you attach to that application, confirming your ownership, residence and compliance with the Rules' conditions.

Not the registration application itself, and not a substitute for it — file this alongside the online form, not instead of it. And not for a hotel, resort or a commercial guest house run as a standalone business rather than a family home taking in paying guests; see the Hotel / Resort Lease for that, and the Homestay / Guest House Lease where the property itself is being taken on lease to run as one.

What follows is written for Himachal Pradesh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Sworn on non-judicial stamp paper of nominal value — confirm the current denomination before swearing it, as this could not be confirmed with confidence here.

Registration

This affidavit is not itself registered. The homestay unit is registered under the Himachal Pradesh Home Stay Rules, 2025 through the Tourism Department's online e-Services Portal, where this affidavit is uploaded as a supporting document; confirm the current portal address and the registration fee, reported at around Rs. 3,000 at the time of the 2025 Rules but not independently verified here, before relying on either figure.

Notarisation

Sworn before a Notary Public, an Oath Commissioner, or an Executive Magistrate having jurisdiction where the deponent resides.

Witnesses

No attesting witnesses beyond the oath are customary, but confirm the current portal checklist, which may prescribe its own format.
