When you need it

For a tenant who's passed screening — the landlord verifies identity, address and the limited records the tenancy file needs, not documents collected casually over messages. Separates KYC from screening and the tenancy agreement.

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

No stamp duty while this stays preliminary/operational and grants no possession or leasehold interest.

Registration

Not compulsory — not itself a lease of immovable property. Section 17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 applies to the eventual lease, not this document.

Notarisation

Not legally required, and doesn’t substitute for a lease’s compulsory registration.

Witnesses

Not legally required — the signer’s dated signature is the primary execution step, unless the related tenancy document requires witnesses.
