Why you need it

When you need it

For a tenant actually yielding up tenancy and possession now, not just agreeing to end it later. Identifies the tenancy, surrender date, possession delivery, keys/rent/deposit, and separates future rights from accrued claims — key where the original lease was registered. Doesn't legitimise 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

Depends on the deed's true effect — a genuine leasehold surrender is classified under the applicable stamp law, not a no-duty letter.

Registration

If the underlying lease is registered and this deed extinguishes that interest, registration may be required. The local treatment for surrender deeds isn't settled here — route through legal/stamp verification before publication.

Notarisation

Notarisation is not a substitute for any registration required for the surrender deed.

Witnesses

Two independent witnesses are recommended for this formal instrument surrendering tenancy rights and possession.
