When you need it

You are applying for a short visit visa for a holiday, sightseeing or a family visit, and the visa officer is going to read one page first. This is that page: who you are, where and when you are going, what you will do there, who is paying, where you will stay, and why you will come back to India.

It sits at the front of the file and points to the papers behind it. Not for: a host's invitation (the person you are visiting uses the Invitation Letter for Visitor Visa), an employer's leave letter (Employer NOC / Leave Letter for Visa), or a study, work or immigration application, which need their own letters.

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. Sign it and date it; some offices want it in the application upload rather than on paper. It does not need to be sworn.

Witnesses

Not required.
