Rent Agreement in Chandigarh: the process in Chandigarh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Chandigarh follow Chandigarh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Registration under the Registration Act, 1908 (leases of one year or more require compulsory registration; under one year do not) and stamp duty under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Chandigarh. Tenancy historically under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act; Chandigarh has also adopted Model Tenancy provisions (sources vary). Administered by the Revenue Department / Sub-Registrar; e-stamp via SHCIL.
How rent agreement works in Chandigarh
- Negotiate and finalise terms
- Draft the agreement (lawyer or online template)
- Buy the e-stamp certificate (SHCIL) for the applicable stamp value
- Print the agreement on/with the e-stamp; both parties (and witnesses) sign or Aadhaar e-sign
- Optional / if term is 12 months or more (mandatory): book an SRO appointment via NGDRS, enter the deed online, pay the registration fee, both parties + two witnesses appear at SRO Sector 17 for biometric/photo admission, collect the registered deed
Documents required in Chandigarh
- ID proof of both parties (Aadhaar, PAN)
- Address proof
- Passport-size photographs
- Property ownership/proof (for landlord)
- e-Stamp certificate (proof of stamp duty paid)
- Two witnesses (only if registering)
Good to know in Chandigarh: The 11-month term is used to avoid compulsory registration under s.17 (only leases of one year or more must be registered); 12 months or more makes registration mandatory. An unregistered agreement of one year or more has limited evidentiary value. Stamp-duty figures vary by source; confirm via the official calculator.

Rent Agreement FAQs
Is an 11-month agreement different from a registered one?
Agreements of 11 months are common because they often don't require registration. For longer durations, registration is usually mandatory — we'll advise based on your state and term.
Can the agreement be used as address proof?
A properly stamped and, where needed, registered rental agreement is widely accepted as address proof and for police verification.
Who usually pays for the agreement?
This varies by arrangement — sometimes the tenant, sometimes split. We simply prepare it correctly for whoever is arranging it.
