Engaging a broker or agent
- Agent Registration and KYC FormA PB/CH developer, platform or owner taking on agents needs, before paying them: identity, RERA registration/validity, PAN/GST, bank account, signatory. Records that plus declarations — no unregistered-project dealing, info true, changes reported. An application, not a commission agreement.₹99Open
- Buyer Representation AgreementBuying via a PB/CH dealer? Most dealers work for the seller while advising you. This makes the agent yours: records your brief/budget, requires acting in your interest, and disclosure before any offer if a seller also pays it. Fixes the fee/earning event; the search isn't a title search.₹399Open
- Project Leasing Mandate AgreementFor a developer or the owner of a commercial project — an office building, a retail project, or a mixed development — appointing a broker to market and let out space across the whole project, not one premises and not one deal. Names whether the mandate is exclusive, and if it is, the Developer owes commission even on a letting it makes itself or through another channel during the Mandate Period. Fixes the commission structure — a flat fee, a percentage of the first year's rent, or a percentage for every year of the term, per Transaction, optionally alongside a retainer for holding the mandate — and whether the Broker may finalise terms with a tenant itself, within limits the Developer sets, or must bring every deal back for the Developer's approval. Covers who bears marketing cost, a leasing target if the parties want one and what happens if it is missed, and the mandate's term, renewal and termination. For a single letting that is already taking shape, with one landlord and one broker on one premises, use the Commercial Leasing Brokerage Agreement instead — it has no project-wide exclusivity, no retainer and no leasing target, because a single deal needs none of them. This document is the developer-side, project-wide mandate that a landlord letting one office, shop or godown does not need.₹1,499Open
- Open Listing AuthorisationHappy for several dealers to sell to whoever comes first? Open listings cause the most commission disputes. This settles it: not exclusive; commission only to the effective cause of sale (dated introduction); nothing on a self-found buyer; withdrawable anytime.₹99Open
- Property Agent Engagement AgreementSelling/letting via a PB/CH dealer? Disputes are about the earning event, who pays, whether it's owed after parting ways. Fixes the earning event, stops the agent signing in your name without authority, requires every offer reach you, protects introductions briefly after. For sole rights, use the Sole Selling Rights Agreement.₹1,499Open
- Property Listing Authorisation LetterAn agent/portal wants to advertise and you want control of what, where, how long? Advertising isn't appointing an agent. Covers channels, price, address published or not, photo source, occupant privacy; withdrawable by email. Says nothing about commission.₹99Open
- Sole Selling Rights AgreementWant one agent committed to selling, for exclusivity? The agent must know it's paid even on a self-found buyer; exclusivity must end, and the agent must market and report. Sets the exclusive period, states commission on a self-found sale, requires reports, lets you end early if reports stop, protects introductions after.₹1,499Open
Brokerage and commission
- Brokerage Agreement and Fee ScheduleFor when a deal is taking shape and the fee needs settling before the main agreement. Fixes the fee against the transaction value, splits it into instalments tied to named events, covers price renegotiation and TDS, sets late-payment interest, and states what happens if the deal fails.₹1,499Open
- Brokerage Invoice and ReceiptA PB/CH broker billing a fee needs a tax-ready form. GST-registered: a tax invoice with registration number, serial number, service, value, tax. Property supply is taxed where the property is — PB central+state, CH central+UT. Records TDS; serves as receipt once paid.₹99Open
- Co-Brokerage and Fee Sharing AgreementTwo brokers sharing a deal, splitting the fee? Usually a phone promise that breaks down. This fixes each share, who bills the client, how fast the other is paid, holds shares in trust, splits chasing costs, and discloses the split.₹1,499Open
- Commission Protection and Non-Circumvention LetterA broker revealing an off-market owner or buyer, worried they'll cut you out? A no-contact clause risks being void under s.27, Contract Act. This leaves the client free to deal with anyone, but makes commission payable on a deal with a named party in time. Fixes the period/commission; catches a relative deal.₹99Open
- Client Introduction and Registration LetterA PB/CH agent who brought a buyer wants a dated record before the developer's team takes over. Registers the prospect, records date/time, asks for a signed acknowledgment, sets a protection period for commission. Records data-sharing consent; the earlier registration wins.₹99Open
- Refund of Brokerage on a Failed TransactionPaid a fee and the deal fell through? Refund depends on the fee agreement's failure terms and why it failed. Records why, amounts paid/refunded and when, and why the broker keeps anything. Once paid, it's final — unless the deal is later revived.₹99Open
Property management and caretaking
- Caretaker and Permissive Occupation Agreement (Rakhwali Nama)Own Punjab property, live outside India, someone looks after it informally? A phone-call arrangement is no document — an undocumented occupant is the commonest way Punjab NRIs lose property. Article 65, Limitation Act, 1963 gives an owner 12 years to sue for possession; section 27 extinguishes it after. Time doesn't run while permissive, but once hostile the clock starts, unnoticed abroad. This records that the occupant holds by your permission, re-acknowledged every term — the cheapest defence against adverse possession or an oral gift. It also blocks drift into tenancy — a caretaker becoming a "paying tenant" or entering the khasra girdawari as cultivator. This reserves no rent, refuses exclusive possession, bars mutation or any revenue entry in his name — a bare licence under section 52, Easements Act, 1882; no interest passes. Keep the term to 11 months and renew: beyond a year, or with yearly rent, a lease is compulsorily registrable under section 17(1)(d), Registration Act, 1908 — the template enforces this ceiling. Renewal is Part B (both sign, fresh dates); Part A is the Caretaker's yearly acknowledgment (he alone signs) and extends nothing — sign both. Buy the e-stamp before anyone signs — the commonest way an NRI document is wasted. Section 17, Stamp Act, 1899 requires stamping before execution for any India-signed instrument; section 18's grace needs EVERY signatory abroad. Since the Caretaker signs in Punjab, buy the e-stamp first, courier it abroad for the Owner's signature. Do NOT use for: rent (a tenancy, however labelled); a farmer paid cash or crop-share (a theka, registrable above 11 months); a sale or litigation power (a POA — non-relative sale costs 2% of consideration or the Collector rate, item (f), entry 48, Schedule I-A, Indian Stamp (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2023); gifting in instalments (a gift deed or will instead); an occupant claiming tenancy (needs a suit for declaration/possession); more than three owners (caps at two co-owners); or a Chandigarh sector property (Estate Officer, Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952). Also: under FEMA (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 and RBI FED Master Direction No. 12/2015-16, an NRI/OCI may buy any Indian property except agricultural land, plantation or a farm house, but may inherit any — a foreign-passport holder with agricultural land should answer inheritance or pre-emigration purchase.₹1,499Open
- Caretaker Appointment AgreementEngaging a paid caretaker or chowkidar in PB/CH? Keys with nothing in writing is how owners lose control: occupation can turn hostile, starting the Limitation Act clock, and a caretaker can claim tenancy. This engages them for a wage, lists duties, states no tenancy or rent, and requires keys back within a fixed number of days. Bars sub-letting or collecting rent without authorisation.₹1,499Open
- Facility Management Services AgreementA society, RWA or owner outsourcing housekeeping, security or gardens? A services contract, not a letting. Failures: understaffing, slow response, unpaid PF. This fixes scope/staffing/levels, ties deductions to missed levels, requires monthly proof of pay, a Private Security Agencies Act, 2005 licence for guards, and an orderly handover.₹1,499Open
- Keys and Documents Custody ReceiptHanding keys or title papers to a manager or advocate, want a signed list of what and terms? Lost originals are costly. Law treats the holder as a bailee, bound to prudent care and return on demand. This lists every item, records purpose/storage, forbids copying, requires return by a fixed time.₹99Open
- Property Care Agreement for an Owner AbroadLiving abroad, can't visit PB/CH property often? Need someone to check it, pay bills, keep it repaired, stop anyone moving in. This engages a provider to inspect on schedule with photos, send reports, pay outgoings from a float, arrange repairs to a limit, report trespass same-day. If let, rent goes to you; TDS is checked.₹1,499Open
- Property Management AgreementOwn let PB/CH property and want someone else running it? Failures: unclear authority, mixed accounts. This defines the manager's powers, keeps rent/deposits separate, requires monthly statements by a fixed day, caps repairs without asking, requires rent receipts and tenant police verification, and confirms no lien.₹1,499Open
- Rent Collection and Remittance StatementA PB/CH manager collecting rent owes a monthly account: owed, collected, spent, kept, remitted. Sets the period; rent due/received by unit; arrears; deposits held; deductions/reasons; net remitted; when/how. The signature only acknowledges receipt.₹99Open
Ending an agency
- Handover on Termination of ManagementA manager's PB/CH appointment ended and everything held must come back — documents, tenancy files, deposits, rent, utility accounts. This lists every item, transfers deposits/balance with an account statement, records tenants told where to pay, and lets the owner acknowledge receipt without accepting figures.₹99Open
- Notice of Expiry of a Sole MandateAn agent's exclusive rights ran out and you won't renew? An agent hearing nothing often keeps marketing and argues it was extended. This confirms the right ended, ends marketing authority, asks for the introduced-buyer list, states protection's expiry, and requires boards/keys down or back.₹99Open
- Termination of an Agency AgreementAppointed a PB/CH agent and agreed to end it? The agent wants commission on introductions made; you want marketing stopped, keys back, boards down. Authority ends for a third party only once known. Fixes the end date, settles earned commission, names protected introductions and for how long, records early-ending compensation.₹1,499Open
