When you need it

Use this when you are a property dealer, broker or agent, the sale, purchase or letting you arranged has been completed, and the client has not paid your brokerage or commission. The notice states how you were engaged and the rate, what you did to bring the deal about, the date it was concluded, what is due and what has been paid, and demands the balance within a fixed time before you sue.

Not the Brokerage Invoice and Receipt, which is the bill you give a client. Not the Refund of Brokerage on a Failed Transaction, which goes the other way. Not an agreement for a future engagement — see the brokerage agreements. Not for money owed by a co-broker; see the Co-Brokerage and Fee Sharing Agreement. Read before sending: a broker is paid for bringing about the deal. If there was no written engagement, keep the messages, site-visit records and the buyer's or tenant's introduction, which become your proof. Check whether you need to be registered as a real estate agent for the property you dealt in.

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

No stamp duty in Punjab or Chandigarh — a notice that demands payment, performance or the stopping of an act creates, transfers or ends no right in property, and is not a chargeable instrument under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. Plain paper or an advocate's letterhead is enough; no e-stamp exists for a document of this kind.

Registration

Not registrable in Punjab or Chandigarh — Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 reaches instruments that create or transfer an interest in property, not a one-sided demand. No Sub-Registrar takes a document of this kind.

Notarisation

Not required in Punjab or Chandigarh — notarising the notice adds nothing to its effect. What matters is proof that it reached the Recipient: the registered-post receipt and acknowledgement card, courier tracking, or a signed acknowledgement of hand delivery. Keep these with the file.

Witnesses

None required in Punjab or Chandigarh — this is a one-sided notice, not an instrument two parties sign. Witnesses matter only if the notice is delivered by hand (get the receiver's name, signature and date) or affixed because the Recipient cannot be found (two independent witnesses, a note of where and when, and photographs).
