At a glance

Price
₹99 · GST included
Stamp duty
This Letter grants no lease, sub-lease, licence or other interest in the Premises and varies no term of the Lease — the interest that changed hands did so under the registered conveyance by which the Outgoing Landlord sold the Premises to the New Landlord, which carries its own ad valorem duty under the conveyance article of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab and in Chandigarh, and that duty is not repeated here.
Registration
Not compulsorily registrable.
Witnesses
Not legally required for a letter of this kind — it is not a lease, a conveyance, a gift or a will, and because it is not presented for registration, the qualification Chandigarh applies to the first witness on a deed it does register (para 127, Punjab Registration Manual) has no bearing here.

Why you need it

When you need it

A short letter for the moment a tenanted office, shop, showroom, warehouse or industrial unit in Punjab or Chandigarh is sold with the Tenant staying on: it tells the Tenant, in writing, that the property has changed hands, that the Outgoing Landlord (the Seller) is no longer its landlord, that the New Landlord (the Buyer) is, and from what date Rent and every other obligation under the existing Lease run to the New Landlord instead. Signed jointly by the Outgoing Landlord and the New Landlord and addressed to the Tenant, it changes nothing about the tenancy itself — the rent, the term, the permitted use and every other term of the Lease continue exactly as they were. Send it as soon as the sale completes, addressed to the Tenant at the Premises, and keep a signed copy with the Lease and the conveyance. It is the paper record of what section 109 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 already does by operation of law the moment the sale completes — the New Landlord steps into the Outgoing Landlord's shoes as landlord whether or not the Tenant is told — but a Tenant who is never told can go on safely paying the Outgoing Landlord, and this Letter is what actually stops that. Not for creating a tenancy, renewing one, or changing its rent, term or any other condition — a New Landlord who wants different terms needs a fresh agreement with the Tenant, not this Letter. Not for transferring the security deposit between the Outgoing Landlord and the New Landlord, or for recording Rent that fell due before the sale — those belong in their own documents. And not before the sale is actually complete: this Letter follows the conveyance, it does not substitute for it.

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

This Letter grants no lease, sub-lease, licence or other interest in the Premises and varies no term of the Lease — the interest that changed hands did so under the registered conveyance by which the Outgoing Landlord sold the Premises to the New Landlord, which carries its own ad valorem duty under the conveyance article of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab and in Chandigarh, and that duty is not repeated here. What this Letter records between the Outgoing Landlord and the New Landlord — confirmation that the sale has happened and acceptance of the Tenant on the unchanged terms of the Lease — is, at most, a general instrument chargeable, if at all, only at the nominal fixed duty for an agreement not otherwise provided for under Article 5 of that Schedule, and not at any duty measured by the Rent or the sale price. Confirm the current amount at a Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd e-stamping counter (shcilestamp.com) or the treasury before printing, because neither the Punjab nor the Chandigarh stamp office publishes that figure as prominently as the ad valorem lease and conveyance rates. Printing this Letter on a modest non-judicial stamp paper of Rs 100 or Rs 500 is cheap insurance against the argument that it is worth more than it says. No family or gender concession applies.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable. This Letter creates, assigns, limits or extinguishes no right, title or interest in immovable property — the Lease continues on its existing terms, and the only interest that changed hands did so under the registered conveyance referred to in the Stamping paragraph above — so it is not one of the instruments section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 requires to be registered, in Punjab or in Chandigarh. This is so whether or not the Lease itself is a registered Lease Deed: this Letter is a separate, unregistered instrument that refers to the Lease and does not need to be presented to a Sub-Registrar, or annexed to the Lease Deed, to take effect. The Tenant's protection does not depend on registration — it depends on the Tenant having actually received this Letter, which is what the acknowledgment at its foot is for. Keep the signed original with the Lease and the conveyance.

Notarisation

Not required by law, and this Letter takes effect once the Outgoing Landlord and the New Landlord sign it. Notarisation is optional and adds an independent record of the date and of who appeared; it is worth doing where the Outgoing Landlord and the New Landlord are not signing together in one place, or where either is likely later to dispute having signed, but it does not cure a stamp duty shortfall and does not substitute for the Tenant's own acknowledgment.

Witnesses

Not legally required for a letter of this kind — it is not a lease, a conveyance, a gift or a will, and because it is not presented for registration, the qualification Chandigarh applies to the first witness on a deed it does register (para 127, Punjab Registration Manual) has no bearing here. Two witnesses are still provided for below, because a later dispute about whether and when this Letter was actually delivered to the Tenant usually comes down to one side's word against the other's, and a witness who can be produced later is worth more than the wording of any clause.

1.1 This Letter is given jointly by Chopra Properties Private Limited, an individual, acting through Rakesh Chopra, Director, authorised by board resolution dated 2 September 2026, of SCO 45, Sector 34-A, Chandigarh 160022 (the "Outgoing Landlord"), and Bhalla Realty LLP, an individual, acting through Simran Bhalla, Designated Partner, of Plot No. 12, Industrial Area Phase 2, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) 160055, PAN AAJFB4321L (the "New Landlord"), and is addressed to Meridian Tech Solutions Private Limited, an individual (the "Tenant").

  1. THE LEASE BEING ATTORNED

2.1 The Tenant holds Unit 212, Second Floor, Tower C, Quartz Business Park, Plot No. C-2, Sector 66, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali), situated at S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali), in the State of Punjab (the "Premises"), under a registered Lease Deed dated 2 April 2026 made between the Outgoing Landlord as landlord and the Tenant as tenant (the "Lease"), for a term expiring on 4 April 2026, at a current monthly rent of ₹1,85,000 (Rupees One Lakh Eighty Five Thousand only).

2.2 The Lease is registered as follows: document no. 2217/2023, registered on 9 June 2023 at the office of the Sub-Registrar, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali).

  1. THE OUTGOING LANDLORD'S CONFIRMATION

3.1 The Outgoing Landlord confirms that it has sold and conveyed the Premises to the New Landlord by a deed of conveyance dated 5 April 2026, registered as follows: document no. 5541/2026, registered on 3 September 2026 at the office of the Sub-Registrar, S.A.S.

3.2 The Outgoing Landlord confirms that, with effect from 3 April 2026, it ceases to be the Tenant's landlord under the Lease, and that the Tenant's obligations under the Lease — to pay Rent, to perform every other covenant of the tenant, and to give every notice the Lease requires the Tenant to give its landlord — run from that date to the New Landlord and not to the Outgoing Landlord.

Questions about this document

Does the Tenant Attornment Letter (Sale of Tenanted Commercial Property) need stamp paper or stamp duty in Punjab and Chandigarh?

This Letter grants no lease, sub-lease, licence or other interest in the Premises and varies no term of the Lease — the interest that changed hands did so under the registered conveyance by which the Outgoing Landlord sold the Premises to the New Landlord, which carries its own ad valorem duty under the conveyance article of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab and in Chandigarh, and that duty is not repeated here.
