Rent Agreement in Delhi: the process in Delhi
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. Indian Contract Act, 1872 and Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (lease); stamping under the Indian Stamp Act as applicable to Delhi; registration under the Registration Act, 1908. The Delhi Rent Act, 1995 also applies to certain tenancies. Agreements under one year are common to avoid compulsory registration.
How rent agreement works in Delhi
- Negotiate and finalise the rent, term, deposit and other terms
- Draft the agreement
- Purchase the e-stamp of the appropriate value (SHCIL / vendor)
- Both parties sign on the stamped agreement, with witnesses
- Under one year: get it notarised (common practice)
- One year or more: book NGDRS appointment and register before the Sub-Registrar
- Each party retains an executed copy
Documents required in Delhi
- Identity and address proof of landlord and tenant (Aadhaar / PAN / passport)
- Proof of ownership (or authorisation to let)
- Passport-size photographs of both parties
- e-stamp paper of the appropriate value
- Details and IDs of two witnesses
- For one year or more: parties' presence and biometrics at the Sub-Registrar
Good to know in Delhi: Stamping is always compulsory even when registration is not. Registration becomes mandatory at one year or more; the 11-month format avoids it. Notarisation authenticates but does not replace stamp duty. Stamp duty is ordinarily borne by the tenant.

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.
