Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Delhi follow Delhi's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. No single statute; effected via a notarised affidavit, newspaper publication, and notification in the Gazette of India under the Department of Publication, MoHUA. Delhi residents use the Central Gazette route (Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi).
