Why you need it

When you need it

A tenant has died and a family member/heir needs to establish who may continue, inherit, regularise or surrender the tenancy — Punjab and Chandigarh can't be collapsed into one form. Chandigarh runs the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act 1949; Punjab splits by letting date — the 1949 Act before 30 November 2013, the Punjab Rent Act 1995 after. A lease may also devolve through the estate under section 108, Transfer of Property Act, but protected-tenancy succession isn't ordinary inheritance. State the deceased tenant, rent agreement, occupancy at death, relationship and succession basis — NOT that every heir automatically becomes a protected tenant. A dispute goes to the Rent Controller under the applicable Act.

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

Punjab/Chandigarh: no stamp duty — records a death and seeks tenancy recognition, not a fresh lease.

Registration

Punjab/Chandigarh: not registrable (section 17, Registration Act 1908). A new lease or surrender executed separately gets its own registration analysis.

Notarisation

Punjab and Chandigarh: Notarisation is not required for this tenancy-succession request; any supporting heir affidavit is a separate document.

Witnesses

Punjab/Chandigarh: none required; the claimant signs. A later new lease follows its own witness formalities.
