When you need it

You are hiring a driller to bore a well on your plot in Punjab or Chandigarh and want the depth, the rate per foot, the casing and the dry-bore position agreed in writing before the rig arrives. It also records the permission position, a joint measurement of the depth drilled, a bore log, and that the bore is left safe.

Not for the pump, motor and water-line work after the bore — that is a separate job. Not for a whole house build — use the House Construction Contract (Owner–Contractor).

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

Chargeable as an agreement, not a conveyance — this document transfers no interest in the Site. PUNJAB: Article 5, Schedule I-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab; the residuary rate under Article 5(c) where no more specific sub-clause fits. Confirm the current figure with the Sub-Registrar or against the Department of Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management's published table at revenue.punjab.gov.in before the stamp is bought. CHANDIGARH: the equivalent agreement article under the Chandigarh Administration's Rates of Stamp Duty & Registration Fees table at revenue.chd.gov.in; confirm the current figure at the Sub-Registrar's office, 30 Bays Building. Buy the e-stamp before signing.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 — it creates no interest in immovable property. Optional registration under section 18 is available but rarely used for a document of this kind.

Notarisation

Not legally required. Notarising is sometimes done to fix the date the document was signed, which can matter if the timeline is later disputed.

Witnesses

Not legally required for a contract of this kind, but two witnesses are provided for below, given the value that typically passes under it and how often the facts of what was actually agreed become disputed only once work has started.
