Why you need it

When you need it

You paid rent early and need a record of what's received, the period covered, and the adjustment. Punjab Rent Act 1995 s.13(2) entitles a cash-paying tenant to a signed receipt forthwith; s.13(3) lets the Rent Authority award up to double the rent plus costs within two months. In Chandigarh, a receipt is key evidence under EPURRA 1949.

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 — a tenancy-fact record, not a leasehold interest. Reworded to create new rights, stamp accordingly.

Registration

Not compulsory — not a lease year-to-year, over a year, or yearly rent (s.17(1)(d)).

Notarisation

Not required; a dated signature or delivery record matters more.

Witnesses

Not required, unless converted into a witnessed undertaking.
