Why you need it

When you need it

You're handing the home back at tenancy end and need a record of condition, keys, devices, inventory, damage and whether vacant possession was accepted. This bridges to deposit settlement — deductions should match what was observed, not memory.

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

Optional; usually unnecessary here.
