Rent Agreement in Mohali
A rent agreement in Mohali follows Punjab law, and the form you need depends on when the premises were first let and when the building was built. The free format here is the eleven-month agreement for premises the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 does not reach.
Which rent law applies in Mohali?
Premises let before 30 November 2013 generally stay under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. A later letting falls under the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, which needs a registered agreement in its own Schedule I form, unless the building itself was constructed on or after that date and is within fifteen years of completion. Only premises outside the 1995 Act can use an eleven-month agreement.

Questions people ask
Can I use an eleven-month rent agreement for a flat in Mohali?
Only if the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 does not reach the premises: a building constructed on or after 30 November 2013 and still within fifteen years of completion, government premises, or premises let before that date. For any other letting in Mohali, the Act requires a written agreement in its Schedule I form, registered, and an eleven-month agreement does not save it.
How much stamp duty does a rent agreement need in Mohali?
Stamp duty: 4% of the annual rent; the deposit is not added. Registration fee: 1% of the annual rent if you register; facilitation Rs 500; pasting Rs 200 (a flat Rs 1,000 where the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 applies). These are the Punjab figures on our rent agreement page, checked on 6 September 2026.
