- Notice of Demand for Arrears of Rent in the Schedule VII Form (Punjab Rent Act, 1995)The notice a Punjab landlord must serve before seeking eviction for non-payment — s.20(2)(a), Rent Act 1995 requires arrears of three-plus consecutive months, a Schedule VII notice served under s.106 TPA, and the tenant then failing to pay the whole arrears/charges/15% interest within two months. Serve it badly and the eviction application fails at the threshold. WHICH ACT: the 1995 Act (from 30.11.2013) excludes pre-commencement lettings (saved for the 1949 Act) EXCEPT NRI-owned premises, which stay under the 1995 Act however old the letting (Krishan Kumar v. Kamla Devi) — the form asks and prints the right averment. Urban areas only (s.2(o)) — a panchayat area needs an ordinary civil suit instead. NOT FOR Chandigarh — the 1949 Act governs there, no Schedule VII notice exists (position under challenge, re-check). CHECK EXEMPTIONS FIRST: s.3(1)(c) excludes only buildings constructed on/after 30.11.2013, for 15 years — a pre-2013 building is NEVER exempt. Also excluded: government/local-authority premises, foreign-national/embassy lettings, notified trusts, PUDA hire-purchase allottees. Under s.3(2), a contract-governed non-residential letting may not be a Schedule VII case at all. Two more limits: available only ONCE per tenant per premises per cure; arrears must be THREE-PLUS CONSECUTIVE months. Reconcile the arithmetic before signing and keep the postal proof — it starts the two-month clock.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Tenant Reply to an Eviction NoticeUse this reply when a tenant has received an eviction, quit or tenancy-termination notice and needs a disciplined written response before or alongside any Rent Controller/Rent Authority proceeding. The reply should identify the notice, separate admitted facts from disputed allegations, state the letting date and Rent Act track, preserve rent-payment facts and explain why the landlord’s asserted ground is denied, incomplete or capable of cure. Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 may govern contractual termination of a monthly or yearly tenancy, but service of such a notice does not by itself evict a statutory tenant protected by the applicable Rent Act. In Punjab, the letting date distinguishes the saved 1949 Act track from the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 track under this drafting order; Chandigarh uses the 1949 Act throughout. The tenant should not make unnecessary admissions, deny obvious facts, or threaten unrelated criminal action. If a rent petition has already been filed, the formal defence must also comply with the forum’s summons, leave-to-contest, affidavit and time requirements.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Eviction Petition to the Rent Controller (Ejectment Petition) - East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, sections 13 and 13-AThe ejectment petition to the Rent Controller under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act 1949 — not a notice or civil suit; s.13(1) ousts the civil court entirely where the Act applies. Covers the ordinary contested petition (s.13(2)-(3)) and the summary specified-landlord petition (s.13-A plus s.18-A, for a government employee) — answering the specified-landlord questions auto-converts the document. Answer jurisdiction first, then fill EXACTLY ONE location box — it switches paragraph 5-A (Chandigarh, pleading Vasu Dev Singh) or 5-B (Punjab, a pre-30.11.2013 letting) and the forum/court-fee sentences. CHANDIGARH: every landlord, any rent — extended via the 1974 Act, never repealed; the Rs 1,500 exemption was quashed (Vasu Dev Singh v. UoI, SC, 7.11.2006). A 6.5.2026 MHA notification tried a different statute; the High Court kept it in abeyance 29.5.2026, directing the 1949 Act continue — ask counsel for current status. Section 13-A specifically: reportedly extended to the UT by a 15.12.1986 notification, unverified against the 1974 Act's Schedule — confirm before filing. PUNJAB: only a landlord whose tenancy began before 30.11.2013, and not an NRI. The 1995 Act (commenced 30.11.2013) repealed the 1949 Act but saved it for pre-commencement, non-NRI lettings (Neeraj Malhotra v. Jaswant Singh, 2.8.2022) — give the date of letting. NOT FOR: a post-30.11.2013 Punjab tenancy (use s.20(2), Rent Act 1995, Schedule XII, before the Rent Authority); an NRI-owned Punjab property (s.24(3), pleading return for permanent residence — Krishan Kumar v. Kamla Devi, 2016(1) RCR(Rent) 525); premises outside a notified urban area (ordinary civil suit after a s.106 TPA notice); or the s.13-B NRI summary route (Punjab Act 9/2001) — displaced by s.24(3) post-2013 anyway. LADDER: Chandigarh — Civil Judges at District Courts, Sector 43, appeal to District Judge (FIFTEEN days, s.15(1)(b)), revision to the High Court (s.15(5)). Punjab — Rent Controller-cum-Civil Judge (Jr Div), same structure. TENANT'S ESCAPE: on arrears alone, tendering the whole arrears/interest/costs on first hearing defeats that ground (no 15-day window unlike the 1995 Act) — plead a second, non-curable ground (sub-letting, change of user, impairment, nuisance, four-month non-occupation, personal necessity) too. Section 13-A tenant needs a s.18-A leave-to-contest affidavit; default means facts are admitted. AFTER WINNING: s.13(4) restoration if the landlord doesn't occupy within 12 months (s.13-A: three months, or re-letting within three years); s.13(5) lets the Controller award the tenant up to Rs 100 for a frivolous petition. A wrong-Act head-note is usually amendable (Order VI Rule 17, CPC) — not automatic, costs time. DATING CAUTION: the 1995 Act's Gazette commencement notification is untraced (High Court says 30.11.2013; metadata reads 16.4.2013) — a letting between those dates sits on a fault line. Chandigarh unaffected.₹999ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Kabza Khali Karan da Kanooni Notice (Legal Notice to a Relative or Caretaker in Unauthorised Possession, Demanding Vacation and Accounts)The Doaba pattern: a house or land left with a relative or caretaker in the late 1980s/90s on trust, no paperwork; money stopped, then a claim the fard shows a different name. This notice is what you send the day you find out. It kills the limitation clock: Article 65, Limitation Act 1963 gives twelve years to sue on title, running from when possession turns ADVERSE (an open denial reaching your knowledge) — section 27 extinguishes your right after. This notice fixes that date in writing, revoking permission and recording when you learnt of denial; the form refuses a knowledge-date over twelve years old. It also demands accounts: theka/batai proceeds, house rent, a tower fee — the notice demands a full account and puts the occupant on notice of mesne-profits liability (s.2(12)/Order XX Rule 12, CPC) with interest. Copies: the occupant (original); the local SHO or NRI police station (ADGP, Phase-7, SAS Nagar, 0172-2260042/43, pgd.punjabpolice.gov.in); the Tehsildar (mutation-sanctioning Assistant Collector); NRI Affairs (helpline 1100, psnri@punjab.gov.in). Precedes a civil suit, or the Jalandhar NRI court. Leave the NRI field blank if resident in India. Two traps: the Punjab NRI Commission (Punjab Act 33/2011) has civil-court powers but only issues a recommendation; NRI Sabha Punjab is a society with no legal power. One worry to drop: RBI Master Direction 12/2015-16 bars NRI/OCI PURCHASE of agricultural land (para 3.1.1) but permits acquisition by INHERITANCE (3.1.3-3.1.4) — most Doaba land came that way. NOT FOR: a rent-paying tenant (1949 Act pre-2013, or s.20/s.24(3), 1995 Act post-2013, by letting date); a recorded cultivator (s.117 TPA excludes agricultural leases from Chapter V — a khasra girdawari cultivator is a Punjab Tenancy Act 1887 tenant, with the Revenue Court's exclusive cognizance, s.77; pull the girdawari first); dispossession within six months (s.6, Specific Relief Act — a faster summary suit, no title proof, six-month window); a co-sharer merely in possession (remedy is partition, ss.111-126, Punjab Land Revenue Act — this notice applies only once OUSTED); a boundary strip (fix it first via nishandehi, then a hadd-shikni suit); fixing the record (a fard badar, or an appeal against a bad mutation); shamilat deh land (a s.11 claim to the Collector, Village Common Lands Act 1961); a development-authority/Improvement Trust allotment (attack the authority's own file too); Chandigarh sector property (no jamabandi/NRI machinery there — Estate Officer's file instead, except Manimajra/lal dora areas); an irrevocable licence under s.60, Easements Act (disclose any construction, demand the occupant plead it now); or self-help of any kind (turns a strong civil case into a criminal complaint against you). This is a notice, not a decree — it starts the clock, puts your version on record, and gives the court what it always wants: what you did, and when.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Complaint to the Punjab State Commission for Non-Resident IndiansFor an NRI whose Punjab land/house is held, altered on record, or the subject of a forged document — and ordinary counters aren't moving. Produces the complaint to the Punjab State Commission for Non-Resident Indians, Block A, Room 6, Sector 9, Chandigarh (Punjab Act 33/2011, notified 29.11.2011), chaired by a retired High Court judge. Three situations: a relative in possession who won't leave; an unauthorised mutation/deed/GPA/will bearing your signature; or repeated unregistered police complaints. Give dates, khewat/khasra/mutation numbers, police diary details — numberless complaints get forwarded and forgotten. Two property types: revenue-estate land (jamabandi/khewat/khasra, ss.31-32, Land Revenue Act) or a development-authority allotment (title stays the Authority's until full payment, s.43(6)/(7), 1995 Act). The Commission has civil-court powers (summoning, discovery, affidavits, file requisition) but its output is a RECOMMENDATION — not a decree, non-binding on the State/police. So don't use it instead of a suit: cancelling a forged instrument needs ss.31-34, Specific Relief Act (three years from knowledge, Article 59); possession on title needs Article 65 (twelve years) — neither clock stops for this complaint. Not for a tenant (s.24(3), Rent Act 1995 is faster). Not for urgent criminal matters (NRI Wing police, pgd.punjabpolice.gov.in, faster). Not for a sub judice matter. Not for Chandigarh property (a Punjab body only — go to the Estate Officer there). Not NRI Sabha Punjab (a society with no statutory power, facilitation only).₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Complaint to the ADGP, NRI Wing, Punjab Police (Forged Power of Attorney, Forged Sale Deed, Property Grabbing)For an NRI/OCI/PIO alleging a crime against Punjab property — a forged POA, sale deed, will, a fabricated mutation, or trespass. Produces the complaint asking the NRI Wing to register an FIR under s.173, BNSS 2023, sendable from abroad. Prints TWO instruments: the complaint (signed, verified, no duty, plain paper) and a separate AFFIDAVIT after the Schedule, sworn before a Consular Officer/Notary/Oath Commissioner — chargeable under Article 4, Schedule I-A. Section 175(3), BNSS requires this affidavit if you later approach a Magistrate for a non-registered FIR — file without it and you're empty-handed there. The NRI Wing: ADGP, Phase-7, SAS Nagar, STATE-WIDE jurisdiction (0172-2260042/43, pgd.punjabpolice.gov.in). Send a copy to a named Station House Officer too — s.173(1) casts the FIR duty on an officer IN CHARGE OF A POLICE STATION, not the ADGP (supervisory); both letters must go out the same day. This is a request for a criminal case, NOT title recovery or a sale freeze — cancelling a forged instrument needs a civil suit (ss.31-34, Specific Relief Act; three years/twelve years, Articles 59/65). The real freeze is a civil injunction, NOT a police attachment (s.107, BNSS attaches crime proceeds, not your own land). The revenue entry is fixed on a third track (ss.34-37, Land Revenue Act) — run all three together. Other routes not to confuse with this: the NRI Commission (recommendation only); NRI Sabha Punjab (no statutory power). NOT FOR: Chandigarh property (no NRI Wing there); property outside Punjab; a civil dispute in criminal clothing (boundary quarrels, accepted partitions, unpaid instalments); a tenant who won't vacate; your own attorney exceeding a genuine power (a revocation case, not forgery); wanting only the revenue entry fixed (use mutation/Fard Badar); agricultural land bought (not inherited) as an NRI/OCI (RBI-barred); or naming people on suspicion alone (itself an offence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita).₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Police Complaint for TrespassSomebody has entered your house, shop, plot or field in Punjab or Chandigarh without right: broken a lock, climbed in, fenced off part of it, moved their goods in, or came in lawfully and now refuses to leave, and did it to intimidate, insult or annoy you or to commit an offence. Criminal trespass and house-trespass under section 329 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 are cognizable offences, so the officer in charge of a police station can be asked to record the information as a first information report. This complaint gives that officer what is needed to act: who you are and on what footing you hold the property, the property itself, exactly what happened (the date and time, the persons, what they did, the damage and the threats), who saw it, the evidence you hold, and the offence the facts disclose. It asks for the information to be recorded and for a free copy. If the officer will not record it, its substance goes by post to the Superintendent of Police, and after that an application supported by affidavit goes to the Magistrate. Use it for an incident on or after 1 July 2024. A police complaint does not decide who owns the property: where the occupier stays on, a civil suit for possession or an injunction is still needed, and nothing in this complaint justifies taking the property back by force.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Complaint to SDM / TehsildarA general written complaint or representation to the Sub Divisional Magistrate, the Tehsildar or the Naib-Tehsildar having local jurisdiction — commonly used for encroachment on a street, passage or common land, a boundary or possession dispute, non-cooperation in giving effect to a mutation, an apprehended breach of the peace, or another grievance an executive or revenue officer can look into. An SDM or Tehsildar exercises administrative, executive and revenue jurisdiction. They cannot decide who owns a property — that needs a civil suit. Use this representation to ask for administrative attention or preventive action, not as a substitute for a title dispute, and not assuming it by itself invokes any specific statutory procedure with its own timeline.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- RTI Application to a Public Information OfficerUse this when a public office holds records you need and will not simply hand them over: the approved building plan of your house or of a neighbour's construction, the allotment and transfer file of a plot, the status of a mutation, a demarcation report, a notice issued against your property, or the file noting on an application of yours that has been pending for months. The Right to Information Act, 2005 lets every citizen ask any public authority in writing, without giving a reason, and makes its Public Information Officer answer within thirty days. The application goes to the officer of the office that holds the records: a Punjab department, development authority or municipal body answers under the Punjab Right to Information Rules, 2017, and the Estate Office and the other offices of the Union Territory of Chandigarh Administration answer under the Right to Information Rules, 2012. Both charge ten rupees for the application and two rupees a page for copies, and a person below the poverty line claims the exemption the rules give with a copy of the certificate. Ask short, numbered questions about records that exist, such as a copy of a letter, the date of an inspection or the name of the officer who approved a plan, rather than asking why something was done, and give the file or plot number so that the record can be traced. Keep the receipt or postal proof: the thirty days, and every later deadline, run from the day the office receives the application. If no reply comes, or the reply refuses or leaves out what you asked, the next step is the first appeal in this set.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- RTI First Appeal to the First Appellate AuthorityFile this when your RTI application has gone unanswered or has been answered badly. If the Public Information Officer sent nothing within thirty days of receiving the application, or thirty-five where an Assistant Public Information Officer took it in, the Act treats the silence as a refusal. If a reply came but refused the information, gave only part of it, answered a different question or demanded a further fee you think wrong, you are aggrieved by the decision. Either way the first appeal goes to the officer senior in rank to the Public Information Officer in the same public authority, usually named at the foot of the reply or on the office's RTI notice, and it must be filed within thirty days from the date the reply was due or from the day you received it. A late appeal can still be admitted if you show sufficient cause, so give the reason for any delay. Neither the Punjab Right to Information Rules, 2017 nor the Right to Information Rules, 2012 charge a fee for a first appeal. Set out, question by question, what was asked, what came back and why it falls short, and ask for the information free of charge where the thirty days were missed. The appellate officer must decide within thirty days of receiving the appeal, or within forty-five days of its filing where the reasons for the extra time are recorded in writing. If the decision does not come or does not help, the second appeal in this set goes to the Punjab State Information Commission or the Central Information Commission.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- RTI Second Appeal or Complaint to the Information CommissionThis is the last step inside the RTI system. File it when the first appeal has been decided against you, or has not been decided within thirty days of its receipt, or forty-five where the appellate officer recorded reasons for more time. The second appeal goes to an Information Commission, not to the public authority: to the Punjab State Information Commission, at the Red Cross Building in Sector 16, Chandigarh, where the public authority is under the Government of Punjab, and to the Central Information Commission where it is an office of the Union Territory of Chandigarh Administration. It must be filed within ninety days from the date the first appeal's decision was received or should have been made, and the Commission can admit a later appeal for sufficient cause. The Commission takes an appeal up only after the first appeal is decided or forty-five days have passed since it was filed. The same form serves as a complaint under section 18 where no Public Information Officer would take your application, the fee demanded is unreasonable, or the information given is incomplete, misleading or false. Attach self-attested copies of the application, the reply, the first appeal and the order, with an index, and verify the facts at the foot; the Punjab Commission also wants at least three sets in paper-book form for an appeal, a statement that the matter has not been filed before and a self-attested identity document. The Commission can order the information to be supplied, require compensation for loss you suffered, and fine the officer two hundred and fifty rupees a day, up to twenty-five thousand rupees.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

- Legal Notice (General Purpose)A general-purpose notice demanding that someone pay a sum due, perform an obligation, stop a wrongful act, or otherwise put right a grievance, before the Sender takes the matter further. Meant for a civil dispute this library does not already carry a purpose-built notice for — a contract breached, goods or services not delivered or defective, money lent and not repaid outside a lease, a professional's negligence, damage to property, or a similar wrong. Not for arrears of rent or ending a tenancy — use the Legal Notice for Recovery of Arrears or a notice to quit instead, both of which carry the rent-law content this general notice does not. Not for a dishonoured cheque, which the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 gives its own mandatory notice period and content — a notice under this template does not satisfy Section 138. Not for defamation, which has its own notice carrying the specific relief and the criminal-complaint route that claim needs. Read before every use: this is a plain vessel, not a substitute for working out which cause of action actually applies, whether it is time-barred, and which forum has jurisdiction.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Reply to Legal Notice (General)A general-purpose written reply to a legal notice received from someone else, for a dispute this library does not already carry a purpose-built reply for. States the Replying Party's position — denial, partial acceptance, full acceptance, or that the notice is premature — while expressly reserving every right not admitted. Not for a reply that must itself follow a specific statutory form — a written statement filed in a pending civil suit follows the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and the particular court's practice, not this template; a reply to a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 cheque-dishonour notice, a consumer complaint notice, or a notice from a government authority may carry its own required content and consequence for silence, and needs a view on that statute specifically before this general reply is sent instead. Read before every use: what this reply admits, even partially, can be used later. It is a vessel for the Replying Party's own considered position, not a set of pre-approved answers.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
- Defamation NoticeA pre-litigation notice where someone has made or published a false statement harming the Sender's reputation — spoken, written, printed, broadcast, or posted online — demanding a retraction, an apology, removal of the content, and, if wanted, damages, before the Sender takes the matter to a civil court or a criminal complaint. Covers slander (spoken words) and libel (written, printed, broadcast or online words). Not a substitute for advice on whether the statement was made on an occasion the law privileges (a judicial or legislative proceeding, for instance), whether it is substantially true, or how long the Sender has to sue for it — see the notes on what a lawyer should check before this notice is sent.₹99ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ

Where this library already carries a purpose-built affidavit for the exact subject — identity, title to property, loss of a document, and others — use that one instead; it is written to match the specific proforma an authority is likely to expect. Use this general one only where none fits.₹199ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ
