Why you need it

When you need it

The landlord is refunding the deposit; the tenant must acknowledge what's received without giving up other claims. A good receipt shows the deposit, entitlement, deductions and net amount. 'Full and final settlement' can be broader than intended, so this lets tenants limit discharge to the deposit received, or a wider settlement if chosen.

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. Repurposed into a fresh term or surrender for value, stamp accordingly.

Registration

Not compulsory unless it creates a registrable interest — a lease over a year or yearly rent is, under s.17(1)(d).

Notarisation

Not required; doesn't replace registration — a dated signature matters more.

Witnesses

Not required; prudent for a broad release.
