Why you need it

When you need it

Two co-borrowers privately agree one bears specified payments or reimburses the other for lender claims — often pending a property settlement. This allocates risk between them but can't reduce the lender's rights against either. State the covered obligations, start date, payment method, exclusions, and that lender release needs separate approval. An indemnity (saving another from a loss) differs from a guarantee (a third person's default) — shouldn't accidentally bind the bank. The protected co-borrower gets a reimbursement right; the lender's rights stay intact.

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

Article 34, Schedule I-A (a security bond's duty, Article 57) — neither Punjab's nor Chandigarh's table prices it; ask the Sub-Registrar or get s.31 adjudication. Stamp in the indemnifier's name, before signing (s.17); under-stamped is inadmissible until the deficiency/penalty are paid (s.35).

Registration

Not registrable (s.17) — no property interest created. Charging property too makes it a mortgage: registered, two witnesses (s.59, TPA 1882), unless by deposit of title deeds.

Notarisation

Only if the lender wants a sworn/attested form.

Witnesses

Contractual, not s.59's statutory witnesses — follow whatever the lender requires.
