Why you need it

When you need it

You share a home with another authorised occupant and need to divide costs without creating a tenancy, sublease or licence between yourselves — money only: each person's share of the housing charge, utilities, groceries, cleaning, purchases, deposit and early-exit costs. The right to occupy comes from the owner/host's separate lease or consent; reimbursing half the cost doesn't create a property interest.

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

Drafted as a licence, stamped under Article 5 — so long as it grants no exclusive possession or property interest.

Registration

Not compulsory — a s.52 Easements Act licence, not a s.17(1)(d) lease, grants no leasehold interest.

Notarisation

Not required, and wouldn't convert this into a tenancy. Signed execution and stamping matter.

Witnesses

Two witnesses are prudent, though s.52 doesn't require attestation.
