Why you need it

When you need it

Punjab's statutory tenancy form, not a style choice. S.4(1), Punjab Rent Act 1995: every letting must be written (overrides s.107, TPA). S.4(2) (substituted, Act 33/2013, 16.4.2013): must use the Schedule I form AND register, overriding the Registration Act 1908, on a Rs 1,000 fee — no 11-month escape here. Clauses 1-12 (Part I) reproduce the Form's twelve terms: period, rent, maintenance, tenant's property tax, Schedule II repairs split, payment day, 3-month vacate option, s.6's 5%+index rises, expiry handover, tenant's electricity/water, Act-compliance, plus its registration endorsement. Clauses 13+/Schedule Part C are ADDED (deposit, inventory, statutory machinery, notices, police intimation) — not the Form (Recital F); cl.26.3 subordinates them to Part I, cl.23.4 strikes them if the Registering Authority wants the bare Form. Collate Part I against the Gazette Schedule I — the source here is corrupted twice. Use only if ALL FIVE hold: Punjab AND urban (s.1(2)/s.2(o) — a Corporation/Council/Nagar Panchayat/Cantonment area, or notified); first let on/after 30.11.2013 (Neeraj Malhotra v. Jaswant Singh, 2.8.2022, P&H HC); s.3(1)(c) excludes only buildings CONSTRUCTED on/after commencement, for 15 years from completion (dated by authority-intimation or tax assessment, whichever earlier — Expl. I; a 75%+ rebuild resets the clock — Expl. II) — anything completed earlier is never excluded; not Government/local-authority owned/let; not an unconveyed hire-purchase/lease/sub-lease allotment pending full ownership (s.3(1)(f)). Before a fixed term: s.20(1) bars possession except on s.20(2)'s grounds — expiry isn't one; a 3-year agreement alone won't return the house in 3 years. Only s.31 gives automatic possession on expiry, needing the Rent Authority's PRIOR permission (Schedule XIV) before letting, residential-only, up to 5 years, with damages at 2x rent + 15% interest till the tenant leaves; without it, only s.20(2)(p) (a broken written vacate promise) and a contested application. The form prints the answer into Recital E. Don't use this: for a pre-30.11.2013 letting (s.76(2) saves the 1949 East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, except NRI-owned premises); for a sub-15-year-old post-30.11.2013 building (untouched by the Act — pure contract, 11-month terms still avoid s.17(1)(d) registration, common in new-build Ludhiana/Mohali/Jalandhar/Amritsar); or for Chandigarh (still the 1949 Act, Central Act 54/1974 — its 7.11.2002 rent-exemption notification was quashed in Vasu Dev Singh v. Union of India, Civil Appeals 4688-4694/2006, 7.11.2006; a borrowed 2021 statute the MHA extended here on 6.5.2026 was kept in abeyance by the P&H HC on 29.5.2026, continuing the 1949 Act, unverified after 30.5.2026). For non-residential premises, s.3(2)'s contract-renting rule applies during the contract's term (breach: double rent for the violation period, immediate Rent-Authority dispossession for the tenant, forfeited rent for the landlord) — non-residential (s.2(f)) means SOLELY business/trade, a shop-cum-flat (s.2(l)) is two premises with residential rent as one-third of a composite total; choosing non-residential/composite fills the s.3(2) election and prints clause 27; s.31's expiry-possession route applies only to a premises let AS A RESIDENCE. Date caution: s.1(4)'s commencement notification is untraced — the High Court says 30.11.2013, the text's metadata reads 16.4.2013 — since s.3(1)(a)/(c) and s.76 turn on commencement, a tenancy/building dated between those sits on a fault line (Recital D only says not let before EITHER date) — check the Gazette notification if yours falls there.

What follows is written for Punjab. 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

PUNJAB. S.4(2), Punjab Rent Act 1995 (substituted, Act 33/2013) fixes ONE figure — a Rs 1,000 registration fee, notwithstanding the Registration Act 1908 — but is silent on stamp duty, the unresolved question here. Two views compete: a Schedule I agreement, being a Rent Act creature with its own fee, attracts no ad valorem duty under Article 35, Schedule I-A, Stamp Act 1899 (Punjab), going on plain bond paper as the Schedule directs; or it's an ordinary lease chargeable under Article 35. Textual support for the first: the superseded Schedule XV form specified 'stamp paper of rupees five', and the 2013 substitution moved the identical form onto plain bond paper while fixing the s.4(2) fee in the same breath. Not an authority — ASK before relying on either view. If Article 35 applies, the Punjab Revenue Department's table (revenue.punjab.gov.in, 6.9.2026) gives: under 1yr — 4% duty, 1% registration, Rs 500 facilitation; 1-5yrs — 8% duty (higher than both neighbours, likely a Department error, reported as published), 1% registration, Rs 500 facilitation; 5-10yrs — 3% duty, 1% registration, Rs 500 facilitation; plus Rs 200 pasting on all documents. No date/notification number on the table — treat as current-as-checked, not a known vintage. CONFIRM IN PERSON at the Sub-Registrar/Joint Sub-Registrar (or Registrar/Deputy Commissioner): whether Article 35 applies at all; which slab; whether the s.4(2) Rs 1,000 fee replaces or adds to the table's 1% registration fee. igrpunjab.gov.in's NGDRS deed-type selection answers the second — note it, keep the challan. Pay by SHCIL e-stamp or the portal, not loose paper. NO published women's-rate concession for Punjab. CHANDIGARH — DO NOT USE THIS TEMPLATE. The Punjab Rent Act doesn't extend here; Chandigarh runs under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act 1949, on an ordinary lease. The Administration's table (17.5.2020, no notification number) charges 1% of value, capped Rs 10,000, plus Rs 20 pasting — but which Article/rate applies to a LEASE isn't statable here; settle in person at Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17 (12-1pm presentation, 3-5pm registration). Pay on physical stamp paper — up to Rs 50,000 from vendors, above via Central Treasury/SBI, Sector 17; e-Stamp online caps at Rs 500 here.

Registration

PUNJAB — compulsory, more strongly than usual. An ordinary lease needs s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 registration only if year-to-year, over a year, or reserving yearly rent (hence the 11-month device). S.4(2), Punjab Rent Act 1995 (substituted, Act 33/2013) overrides that: EVERY tenancy agreement here, whatever its length, must be in the Schedule I form and registered under the Registration Act by the specified authority, on a Rs 1,000 fee — an 11-month term buys nothing. Office: the Sub-Registrar/Joint Sub-Registrar of the tehsil. NGDRS online registration (igrpunjab.gov.in) runs in all 22 districts — create the deed, fill General Info/Property/Valuation/Party/Witness pages, pay, upload, book the appointment, attend. Print the Schedule I form in THREE bond-paper copies — Landlord, Tenant, Registering Authority (which keeps its copy). Fee: Rs 1,000 under s.4(2); the table separately shows 1% of annual rent plus Rs 500 facilitation and Rs 200 pasting — which the counter actually levies is the open stamping question; carry the higher combination, get a receipt showing each head. Present within 4 months of execution (s.23); s.25 allows the Registrar a further 4 months on a fine up to 10x the registration fee; after 8 months, re-execute on a fresh date. Both parties and witnesses need photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/voter/passport); the Landlord should carry the title document, latest tax receipt and electricity bill. Photos/thumb impressions are captured at the counter. On Part II: cl.23.4 commits the Parties in advance to delete the supplemental terms (clause 13+/Schedule Part C) if the Registering Authority insists on the bare Schedule I Form. Expect that conversation at the counter — clauses 1-12 and the tenancy survive either way. Consequence of non-registration: s.49, Registration Act 1908 — an unregistered document that needed registration doesn't affect the property and can't be evidence; s.4(1) also makes the letting itself irregular. No Appellate Authority appeal lies on a s.4(2) registration dispute (s.50). CHANDIGARH. Not applicable here; the compulsory-registration rule doesn't reach the UT. A Chandigarh agreement is registrable only if it independently meets s.17(1)(d) — so an 11-month term still works there. Office: Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17 (12-1pm presentation, 3-5pm registration), fee 1% of value capped Rs 10,000 plus Rs 20 pasting, with the same s.23/s.25 4-month/8-month limits.

Notarisation

Not required, and not a substitute for anything — the classic expensive Punjab mistake: parties notarise (Notaries Act 1952), pay a fee, and wrongly believe they've complied with s.4. They haven't — s.4(2) needs Sub-Registrar registration, and notarising doesn't cure s.49, Registration Act 1908's consequences. It's optional and harmless pre-registration, never an alternative; a 'notarised rent agreement' sold as Rent Act compliance doesn't work. Chandigarh: same warning — a notarised agreement exceeding a year is still unregistered, and s.49 bites there too; a notary's seal proves signing, never a registered tenancy.

Witnesses

Two witnesses, but not because the Schedule I Form asks — IT CARRIES NO WITNESS BLOCK, only 'Tenant'/'Landlord' lines plus the Registering Authority's endorsement (an earlier version of this template wrongly said otherwise; corrected). Two are taken for the REGISTRATION: the Sub-Registrar verifies identity under s.34/35, Registration Act 1908, and NGDRS's Witness page needs two sets of particulars. Each must be an adult of sound mind, competent to contract, not a party, ideally not a beneficiary. In Punjab, both attend in person with photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/voter/licence/passport) for photograph/thumb capture, sign all three copies, and give full name, parentage, address. No first-witness class requirement — pick people traceable years later; confirm with the Sub-Registrar whether a witness block on the document is wanted or witnesses go only on the registration record. Chandigarh (not applicable here, but worth knowing): para 127, Punjab Registration Manual makes the FIRST witness a specified class — Lambardar/Sarpanch/Panchayat Member (rural) or councillor/gazetted officer/advocate — known to the Sub-Registrar; both witnesses must know each other. Two friends as witnesses is turned back there.

TENANCY AGREEMENT

(In the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 — Punjab Act 13 of 2012 — as substituted by the Punjab Rent (Amendment) Act, 2013, Punjab Act 33 of 2013, presented for registration under sub-section (2) of section 4 of that Act)

HOW THIS INSTRUMENT IS ARRANGED, AND WHAT IS AND IS NOT THE STATUTORY FORM. Part I, clauses 1 to 12, reproduces the twelve terms and conditions of the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, in the order and in substantially the words in which that Form sets them out, with the blanks in the Form filled in. The registration endorsement at the foot of this instrument is likewise the endorsement the Form carries, and is for the Registering Authority to complete. Part II, clauses 13 onwards, and Part C of the Schedule where it appears, are terms the Parties have added. They are NOT part of the Form and are not presented as part of it. Every one of them is subject to clause 26.3, which subordinates them both to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 and to Part I, and by clause 23.4 the Parties agree in advance that if the Registering Authority requires the bare Form, Part II is to be struck out and Part I and the tenancy stand.

This Tenancy Agreement is made at Ludhiana, District Ludhiana, Punjab, on 2 April 2026.

Bakhshish Singh Gill, resident of House No. 214, Sector 32-A, Pakhowal Road, Ludhiana 141010, Punjab, mobile +91 XXXXX XXXXX, email hsgill@example.com, hereinafter called "the Landlord", which expression shall, where the context so admits, include his or her heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns, of the ONE PART;

AND

Sh. Rakesh Kumar Sharma, son of Sh. Om Prakash Sharma, by occupation Assistant Manager, State Bank of India, Ludhiana Main Branch, permanently resident of Village Bhadaur, Tehsil Barnala, District Barnala 148102, Punjab, mobile +91 XXXXX XXXXX, email rksharma@example.com, hereinafter called "the Tenant", which expression shall, where the context so admits, include his or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives but not, save with the Landlord's previous consent in writing, any assign or sub-tenant, of the OTHER PART.

The Landlord and the Tenant are together called "the Parties" and each of them "a Party".

WHEREAS:

A. The premises situated at House No. 41, Ground Floor, Street No. 6, Guru Nanak Nagar, Pakhowal Road, Ludhiana 141013, Punjab, in District Ludhiana, Punjab, more particularly described in Part A of the Schedule written below, are hereinafter called "the Premises". The Landlord is the owner of the Premises under a registered sale deed. By clause (g) of section 2 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 the expression "premises" does not include the upper side of the roof, and the terrace is accordingly not let by this agreement.

B. The Premises lie within the limits of Municipal Corporation of Ludhiana, and are therefore situated in an urban area within the meaning of clause (o) of section 2 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, to which alone that Act extends by sub-section (2) of section 1.

C. It is recorded that the construction of the Premises was completed before 30.11.2013, and clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, which excludes only premises constructed on or after the commencement of that Act, accordingly does not apply to the Premises at all, whatever the age of the building. The date of completion of construction, ascertained in the manner Explanation I to sub-section (1) of section 3 of that Act directs — the date of completion as intimated to the concerned authority, or of assessment to property tax, whichever is earlier — is recorded in Part A of the Schedule.

D. The Premises were not let out to any person at any time before 30.11.2013, and were not let out to any person at any time before 16.4.2013. The Premises do not belong to, and are not let out to, the State Government, the Government of India or a local authority. The Premises are not let out to a citizen of a foreign country or to an embassy, high commission, legation, commission or international organisation. The Premises have not been allotted to the Landlord by way of an agreement of hire-purchase, lease or sub-lease by a development authority or other local authority under which full ownership rights have yet to accrue.

E. As to a tenancy for a limited period, the Landlord has, before this letting, obtained the permission of the Rent Authority under section 31 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, in the Form specified in Schedule XIV to that Act, to let the Premises as a residence for the limited period of the Term, and this is a limited period tenancy within the meaning of that section. The particulars of that permission are: Order of the Rent Authority, Ludhiana (West), in Application No. 214 of 2026 under section 31, dated 12.08.2026, permitting a limited period tenancy of three years.

F. Sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 provides that, notwithstanding anything contained in section 107 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, no person shall let or take on rent any premises except by an agreement in writing; and sub-section (2) of that section, as substituted by Punjab Act 33 of 2013, provides that every such agreement shall be in the Form specified in Schedule I appended to that Act and shall be registered under and in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 by the authority specified thereunder, on payment of a registration fee of rupees one thousand. The Parties execute and present this agreement in compliance with that section.

PART I — THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE FORM SPECIFIED IN SCHEDULE I TO THE PUNJAB RENT ACT, 1995

This agreement is made between Sh. Harjinder Singh Gill, Owner or Authorised Attorney or Landlord of the Premises, and Sh. Rakesh Kumar Sharma, lessee (tenant), on 2 April 2026, for letting out of the Premises on the following terms and conditions, namely:—

The tenancy will be for the period commencing on 3 April 2026 and ending on 4 April 2026, both days inclusive (in this agreement called "the Term").

The starting rent will be ₹18,000 (Rupees Eighteen Thousand only) per month.

The maintenance charges at ₹1,800 (Rupees One Thousand Eight Hundred only) per month will also be paid along with the rent.

The property tax will be paid by the Tenant.

The day to day repairs (Part 'B') of Schedule II to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 will be the responsibility of the Tenant. Part 'B' comprises: changing of tap washers and taps; drain cleaning; water closet repairs; wash basin repairs; bath tub repairs; geyser repairs; circuit breakers repairs; switches and sockets repairs; repairs and replacement of electrical equipment, except major internal and external wiring changes; kitchen fixtures repairs; replacement of knobs and locks of doors, cup-boards, windows and the like; replacement of flynets; replacement of glass panels in windows, doors and the like; maintenance of gardens and open spaces let out to the Tenant; and removal of plant growth from roof and walls.

The repairs to damages in Part 'A' of Schedule II to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 will be carried out by the Landlord unless caused by the negligence of the Tenant. Part 'A' comprises: structural repairs, except those necessitated by damage caused by the Tenant; whitewashing of walls and painting of doors and windows once in three years; changing and plumbing pipes when necessary; and internal and external wiring and related maintenance.

The rent and other payable charges will be paid by the 10th day of the month, in advance for that month.

The Tenant will have the option to vacate the Premises by giving three months' notice.

The rent will be increased by five per cent per year on 5 April 2026 and 6 April 2026; the third increase, taking effect on 7 April 2026, will be proportionate to the increase in the Consumer Price Index over the three years' period 3 April 2026 to 7 April 2026 (section 6). By the Example given in section 6, if the Consumer Price Index increases by eighteen per cent in three years, the rent for the fourth year shall be the rent for the first year multiplied by one point one eight; and that section provides that this cycle shall continue.

The Tenant agrees to handover the vacant possession of the Premises on the expiry of the period contracted, that is to say on 4 April 2026.

The electricity and water bills will be paid by the Tenant.

Both the Landlord and the Tenant agree to abide by the conditions of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995.

PART II — SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES

These clauses are agreed between the Parties. They are not part of the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, and they are subject to clause 26.3.

THE PREMISES, POSSESSION AND INVENTORY

13.1 The Landlord shall deliver vacant physical possession of the Premises to the Tenant on 3 April 2026.

13.2 On that date the Parties shall jointly record the electricity and water meter readings and verify the fittings and fixtures listed in Part B of the Schedule, and shall initial the entry.

13.3 The Premises comprise the accommodation described in Part A of the Schedule and nothing else. Everything the description excludes remains in the Landlord's possession.

USE AND OCCUPATION

14.1 The Premises are let, and shall be used by the Tenant, for residential purposes only and for no other purpose. The Parties note that using the Premises for a purpose other than that for which they were let is a ground of eviction under clause (b) of sub-section (2) of section 20 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995.

14.2 Not more than 4 persons in all, including the Tenant, shall reside in or occupy the Premises without the previous consent in writing of the Landlord.

14.3 The Tenant shall not use the Premises, or permit them to be used, for any purpose which is unlawful, immoral or hazardous, or which causes or is likely to cause nuisance or annoyance to a person living in the neighbourhood of the Premises, nor for the storage of any inflammable, explosive or offensive article. The Parties note that a conviction for causing such nuisance or annoyance, or for using or allowing the use of the Premises for an immoral or illegal purpose, is a ground of eviction under clause (l) of that sub-section.

14.4 The Tenant shall not carry on in the Premises any trade or business requiring a licence, registration or permission from any authority without first obtaining it at the Tenant's own cost, and shall keep the Landlord indemnified against any consequence of failing to do so.

Questions about this document

Does the Tenancy Agreement in the Schedule I Form (Kirayanama), Registered — Punjab Rent Act, 1995 need stamp paper or stamp duty in Punjab?

If Article 35 applies, the Punjab Revenue Department's table (revenue.punjab.gov.in, 6.9.2026) gives: under 1yr — 4% duty, 1% registration, Rs 500 facilitation; 1-5yrs — 8% duty (higher than both neighbours, likely a Department error, reported as published), 1% registration, Rs 500 facilitation; 5-10yrs — 3% duty, 1% registration, Rs 500 facilitation; plus Rs 200 pasting on all documents. No date/notification number on the table — treat as current-as-checked, not a known vintage.

CONFIRM IN PERSON at the Sub-Registrar/Joint Sub-Registrar (or Registrar/Deputy Commissioner): whether Article 35 applies at all; which slab; whether the s.4(2) Rs 1,000 fee replaces or adds to the table's 1% registration fee. igrpunjab.gov.in's NGDRS deed-type selection answers the second — note it, keep the challan. Pay by SHCIL e-stamp or the portal, not loose paper. NO published women's-rate concession for Punjab.

CHANDIGARH — DO NOT USE THIS TEMPLATE. The Punjab Rent Act doesn't extend here; Chandigarh runs under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act 1949, on an ordinary lease. The Administration's table (17.5.2020, no notification number) charges 1% of value, capped Rs 10,000, plus Rs 20 pasting — but which Article/rate applies to a LEASE isn't statable here; settle in person at Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17 (12-1pm presentation, 3-5pm registration). Pay on physical stamp paper — up to Rs 50,000 from vendors, above via Central Treasury/SBI, Sector 17; e-Stamp online caps at Rs 500 here.

Does the Tenancy Agreement in the Schedule I Form (Kirayanama), Registered — Punjab Rent Act, 1995 need registration in Punjab?

Office: the Sub-Registrar/Joint Sub-Registrar of the tehsil. NGDRS online registration (igrpunjab.gov.in) runs in all 22 districts — create the deed, fill General Info/Property/Valuation/Party/Witness pages, pay, upload, book the appointment, attend. Print the Schedule I form in THREE bond-paper copies — Landlord, Tenant, Registering Authority (which keeps its copy).

Fee: Rs 1,000 under s.4(2); the table separately shows 1% of annual rent plus Rs 500 facilitation and Rs 200 pasting — which the counter actually levies is the open stamping question; carry the higher combination, get a receipt showing each head.

Present within 4 months of execution (s.23); s.25 allows the Registrar a further 4 months on a fine up to 10x the registration fee; after 8 months, re-execute on a fresh date. Both parties and witnesses need photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/voter/passport); the Landlord should carry the title document, latest tax receipt and electricity bill. Photos/thumb impressions are captured at the counter.

On Part II: cl.23.4 commits the Parties in advance to delete the supplemental terms (clause 13+/Schedule Part C) if the Registering Authority insists on the bare Schedule I Form. Expect that conversation at the counter — clauses 1-12 and the tenancy survive either way.

Consequence of non-registration: s.49, Registration Act 1908 — an unregistered document that needed registration doesn't affect the property and can't be evidence; s.4(1) also makes the letting itself irregular. No Appellate Authority appeal lies on a s.4(2) registration dispute (s.50).

CHANDIGARH. Not applicable here; the compulsory-registration rule doesn't reach the UT. A Chandigarh agreement is registrable only if it independently meets s.17(1)(d) — so an 11-month term still works there. Office: Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17 (12-1pm presentation, 3-5pm registration), fee 1% of value capped Rs 10,000 plus Rs 20 pasting, with the same s.23/s.25 4-month/8-month limits.
