Why you need it

When you need it

The landlord agrees to waive all or part of the financial consequence of ending the tenancy during a lock-in. The waiver states what's forgiven, what (if any) remains payable, and whether it depends on a replacement tenant. It preserves unrelated dues unless expressly released.

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, prudent for a large waiver.
