When you need it

A housing society or RWA is hiring a contractor to supply cleaning staff for the stairs, lobbies, lifts, parks and other common areas. The agreement names the areas and the work, the number of workers and hours, the monthly fee, who supplies materials, and who answers for the workers' wages and legal dues.

The workers stay the contractor's employees, not the Society's. It runs for a fixed term and either side can end it on notice. Not for a resident's maintenance obligation — use the RWA Maintenance Agreement. Not for a maintenance contract for lifts, DG sets or a sewage plant — use the Annual Maintenance Contract.

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

A private service agreement, not a conveyance or a lease. It falls, if at all, under the Article of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 for an agreement, commonly a modest fixed figure in Punjab and Chandigarh. Confirm the current denomination with an e-stamp vendor or the stamp counter before buying stamp paper; this agreement does not print a settled figure.

Registration

Not compulsory. The agreement creates no interest in immovable property, so section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not reach it.

Notarisation

Not required. Notarising the signatures or keeping a countersigned register of such agreements gives firmer evidence if it is later relied on.

Witnesses

Not a statutory requirement for a contract. Two witnesses are asked for below as ordinary good practice.

HOUSEKEEPING SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made on 1 April 2026 at Panchkula between:

(1) Green Park Residents Welfare Association, Sector 21, Panchkula, acting through Harjinder Singh, President (the "Society"); and
(2) Clean Care Services, Industrial Area Phase 1, Chandigarh, GSTIN X (the "Contractor").

  1. 1. Services. From 2 April 2026 for 12 months the Contractor shall clean and keep tidy the following areas of the Society: Stairs, lobbies and lifts of all towers, the main gate and approach road, the clubhouse, the park and the basement. The daily and periodic work is: Daily sweeping and mopping of floors, wiping of railings and lift interiors, emptying of dustbins into the Society's collection point; weekly washing of stairs; monthly cleaning of glass and ceiling fixtures.
  1. 2. Staff and hours. The Contractor shall provide 6 workers, on duty during 7 am to 3 pm every day, with weekly offs by rotation, and shall keep a supervisor reachable by the Society during those hours. If a worker is absent the Contractor shall send a replacement; if it does not, the monthly fee shall be reduced in proportion to the shortfall.
  1. 3. Materials. The Contractor shall supply all cleaning materials, chemicals, tools and equipment at its own cost.
  1. 4. Fee and payment. The Society shall pay the Contractor Rs 48,000 a month, inclusive of GST, by the 10th of the month following, against a bill. The fee covers everything the Contractor is to do under this Agreement.
  1. 5. The workers are the Contractor's. The workers are employed by the Contractor alone, and not by the Society. The Contractor shall pay their wages on time and meet every duty an employer owes under the labour laws that apply to it, including minimum wages, provident fund, insurance and bonus where they apply, and shall show the Society proof of payment when asked. The Contractor shall verify the identity and background of each worker, give the Society a list of them and tell the Society before changing any of them.
  1. 6. Care and damage. The Contractor shall see that its workers are courteous to residents, follow the Society's rules and use cleaning chemicals safely. The Contractor shall make good any loss or damage to the Society or a resident that its workers cause.
  1. 7. Ending the Agreement. Either side may end this Agreement by giving the other 30 days' written notice. The Society may end it at once by written notice if the Contractor seriously or repeatedly fails to do the work or to pay its workers. The Society shall pay for work done up to the end.
  1. 8. Disputes. The parties shall first try to settle any dispute by talking. If that fails, the courts at Panchkula shall have jurisdiction.

Signed by the parties on the date written above.

Signature: ______________________________
Harjinder Singh, President
