When you need it

You are hosting a relative or friend on a visit — whether you are inviting them to visit you abroad, or inviting a relative from abroad to visit you in India — and the visa or immigration authority asks for a written invitation letter from the host, describing the relationship, the purpose and length of the visit, and the accommodation and support being offered. General-purpose in both directions and across destination countries; it is not any one consulate's own prescribed form, and some consulates require their own invitation-letter proforma instead of, or in addition to, this one.

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

Not a stamp-dutiable instrument — a letter, not an agreement or a conveyance.

Registration

Not registrable.

Notarisation

Not legally required for the letter itself. Some consulates ask that it be notarised, or that the Host's signature be otherwise verified — confirm the specific requirement before relying on an unnotarised copy.

Witnesses

Not required.
