Why you need it

When you need it

For ending a tenancy by mutual agreement on a chosen date, separating termination from later accounting. Fixes the end date, possession timing, rent through that date, deposit method, and surviving claims. Unlike a unilateral notice, both sides agree the exit — rights still can't be bypassed by self-help.

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

Records termination, not a fresh lease, despite rent/deposit terms. A genuine surrender of a registrable leasehold interest should be reviewed for stamping.

Registration

Not automatic — but extinguishing a registered leasehold interest triggers Registration Act, 1908 review, not a plain letter.

Notarisation

Not required, and doesn’t substitute for compulsory registration; dated signatures and proof of delivery matter more.

Witnesses

Two independent witnesses are prudent — this ends tenancy rights and may be relied on for possession and settlement.
