When you need it

You have vacated a rented home in Punjab or Chandigarh and handed back possession, and the landlord has not refunded your security deposit within a reasonable time or within the period your tenancy agreement fixes for it. This notice formally demands the refund, states any deduction the landlord has claimed and whether you accept or dispute it, and puts the landlord on notice before you take the matter further.

Not for a dispute still going on WHILE you are in occupation — this notice assumes you have already vacated and handed back the keys. Not for demanding the deposit back before the tenancy has actually ended, which is a different and weaker position.

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 is payable on this notice in Punjab or in Chandigarh — it demands return of money already due and creates no new right of its own.

Registration

Not registrable in either place.

Notarisation

Not required in either place. A dated delivery record matters far more than a notarial attestation.

Witnesses

Not required in either place. The tenant, or an advocate acting on the tenant's instructions, signs alone.
