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. PUNJAB: Article 5, Schedule I-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab, residuary rate under Article 5(c). Confirm the current figure with the Sub-Registrar or against revenue.punjab.gov.in. CHANDIGARH: the equivalent agreement article under the Chandigarh Administration's table at revenue.chd.gov.in; confirm at the Sub-Registrar's office, 30 Bays Building. Most interior contracts of everyday value are, in practice, signed on plain paper rather than stamp paper; use the above only if the Parties want a stamped record.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 — no interest in immovable property is created.

Notarisation

Not legally required.

Witnesses

Not legally required. One witness per side is common for a higher-value fit-out.

What this document is for

A homeowner or an office occupant signs this with a modular-furniture, carpentry or fit-out contractor before work starts on an existing home or office — a modular kitchen, false ceiling, flooring, painting or wardrobe work. It fixes the scope room by room, the brand or quality grade of material agreed, the price, the payment stages, the timeline and the warranty on fittings once work is done.

It is not for a fresh structure — a new house, an extension, or shell-and-core work that has not yet been built. Where nothing exists yet to fit out, the House Construction Contract is the right document instead.

Stamp paper and registration

Stamp paper needed

Depends

Typical stamp duty — Punjab

Ask us — The template places this under Article 5, Schedule I-A as a plain agreement, since no interest in the premises changes hands — but in everyday practice most interior fit-out contracts of ordinary value are signed on plain paper rather than stamp paper at all. Use stamp paper only if both sides specifically want a stamped record, and confirm the current Article 5 figure with the Sub-Registrar or against revenue.punjab.gov.in first.

Typical stamp duty — Chandigarh

Ask us — The equivalent Chandigarh agreement article applies in principle, but the same everyday practice of signing on plain paper is common — confirm the current figure at the Sub-Registrar's office, 30 Bays Building, only if a stamped record is actually wanted.

Registration at the Sub-Registrar

No — Not compulsorily registrable in either place — a fit-out contract creates no interest in immovable property, so it falls outside section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908.

Notary or witnesses

Not legally required. One witness per side is common for a higher-value fit-out, mainly so there is a second person who saw what was actually agreed if the brand or quality note is disputed later.

What you will need before you start

  • A room-by-room or area-by-area scope of work, not just a total price — the more specific, the fewer disputes later
  • The specific brand or quality grade agreed for plywood, laminate, paint and fittings, if that matters to you
  • The society or building management's renovation NOC and house rules, if the premises are in an apartment or a managed office building
  • A clear payment schedule tied to stages of work, not just a lump sum on completion
  • A warranty period you actually want held to, and whether you will retain part of the final payment until it has run

Common mistakes

  • Agreeing a total price with no room-by-room scope behind it, so there is nothing concrete to check the finished work against.
  • Starting work before checking the society or building management's renovation NOC and house rules, particularly for anything touching a wall or the building's electrical load.
  • Paying the final instalment in full at handover, leaving no practical leverage to bring the Contractor back if a warranty defect appears afterwards.

Questions people ask before using this document

Does an interior work contract need to be on stamp paper?

Not usually in practice — most interior fit-out contracts of everyday value are signed on plain paper. Where the Parties do want a stamped record, the template treats it as a plain Article 5 agreement (a small fixed duty), not a lease or a sale, since no interest in the premises changes hands. Confirm the current figure with the Sub-Registrar only if you are actually buying stamp paper.

How is this different from the House Construction Contract?

The House Construction Contract is for building a new structure from the ground up. This one assumes the walls, floor slab and structure already exist and covers finishing and fit-out work on top of them — modular furniture, false ceiling, flooring, painting and similar. If nothing has been built yet, use the House Construction Contract instead.

Do I need my housing society's permission before starting interior work?

Often, yes — many societies require a renovation NOC and set working hours, a refundable damage deposit, or a bar on structural changes such as removing a wall. Check your society's own rules and, if needed, complete that NOC before the Contractor starts, since this Contract does not itself authorise anything the society's own rules restrict.

What if the contractor cannot get the exact brand we agreed on?

The template's clause on this only allows an equivalent of the same grade, and requires the Contractor to tell you before substituting it — naming the brand or grade in `material_brand_note` at the outset is what gives that clause something concrete to hold the Contractor to later.

How do I actually make the workmanship warranty stick?

A warranty clause is only as useful as your ability to get the Contractor back on site once they have been paid in full. Consider holding back a small percentage of the final payment until the warranty period has run, rather than paying everything at handover, so there is a practical reason for the Contractor to return.
