Why you need it

When you need it

For taking a room as a paying guest, recording the arrangement without it becoming a tenancy. A licence under section 52, Easements Act, 1882 — control stays with the host, no exclusive possession; covers charges, deposit, utilities, meals, visitors, keys and exit. Records the owner's PG police-verification duty, not the guest's. If the host stops exercising real control, the label alone can't save the licence.

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, not a lease — stamped as an Article 5 agreement, local Stamp Act schedule, so long as it grants no exclusive possession or property interest.

Registration

Not compulsory — s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 covers leases over a year; this is expressly a section 52 Easements Act licence, no leasehold interest.

Notarisation

Not required, and wouldn't rescue an arrangement that in substance grants exclusive possession. Signed execution and correct stamping matter instead.

Witnesses

Two witnesses are prudent for a substantial agreement, though s.52, Easements Act 1882 doesn’t make attestation a condition.
