When you need it

For continuing a tenancy briefly without rewriting the agreement — new expiry date, rent, deposit and any clause changes, finite with no automatic renewal right. If the extended term exceeds one year, the Registration Act, 1908 can apply — use this only where that fits.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. 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

May be stamped as an agreement/variation — but if it effectively extends the leasehold term, apply the applicable lease-duty rate instead.

Registration

Compulsory if it creates a lease over a year (s.17(1)(d), Registration Act, 1908) — present within 4 months (s.23), subject to s.25.

Notarisation

Notarisation does not cure a failure to register an extension that is compulsorily registrable.

Witnesses

Both sign; two witnesses are prudent for an extension affecting a registered or formally executed lease.

TENANCY EXTENSION LETTER

Date: 2 April 2026

Harpreet Singh and Aarav Sharma refer to Registered Rent Agreement dated 01 April 2026 for House 118, Sector 35-A, Chandigarh, commencing 1 April 2026 and presently expiring 3 April 2026.

The parties agree to extend the existing tenancy by 3 months, so that it expires on 4 April 2026.

Monthly rent during the extension: ₹33,000 (Rupees Thirty Three Thousand only). Deposit treatment: Existing security deposit continues unchanged.

Other terms: All other existing terms continue unchanged during the extension.

Further renewal: No further renewal right is created by this letter.

This letter is intended to continue the existing tenancy for the stated limited period, not to create an open-ended holding-over arrangement.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE
