Is Leave and License registration mandatory in Maharashtra?

Yes. Under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, it is mandatory to register all Leave & License agreements. An unregistered agreement can be challenged in court and does not provide full legal protection to the licensor.

What documents are required for Rent Agreement E-registration?

You need: (1) Aadhaar card of licensor (owner) and licensee (tenant), (2) PAN card of both parties, (3) Property ownership proof such as Index II or property tax receipt, (4) Passport-size photographs, (5) Details of two witnesses with their Aadhaar cards.

Do I have to visit the government registration office?

No. With DoorStep Dastawej's e-registration service, our executive visits your home for Aadhaar-based biometric verification. There is no need to visit the Sub-Registrar office at all.

How much does rent agreement e-registration cost in Maharashtra?

The cost includes: (1) Stamp Duty calculated as per Maharashtra Stamp Act (0.25% of total rent + security deposit formula), (2) Registration Fee of ₹1000 for agreements up to 3 years, (3) DoorStep Dastawej service fee of ₹999. Use our free stamp duty calculator to get an exact estimate.

What is e-registration or online registration of a rent agreement?

E-registration is a government-approved process under IGR Maharashtra where the rent agreement is registered digitally using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, instead of the traditional paper-based process at the Sub-Registrar office. It is 100% legally valid.

Can the landlord and tenant be in different cities for registration?

Yes. If the landlord and tenant are in different cities, our executives can visit each party separately for their biometric verification. Alternatively, a Power of Attorney (POA) holder can represent one of the parties.

Can a Power of Attorney (POA) holder sign for the owner?

Yes. If the owner is abroad or in a different city, a person holding a valid registered Power of Attorney can participate in the e-registration process on their behalf.

How long does it take to register the rent agreement?

From booking to delivery, the entire process takes 24 to 48 hours. The doorstep biometric visit itself takes approximately 20–30 minutes. You receive a digital copy of the registered agreement immediately, and the physical copy within a few days.

Is a registered rent agreement valid for address proof?

Yes. A registered Leave & License agreement is a legally valid document accepted as address proof for Aadhaar update, bank KYC, passport application, driving licence, and other government purposes.

Can furniture and fixtures be included in the rent agreement?

Yes. You can include a list of movable items such as furniture, appliances, and fittings in the Leave & License agreement. This protects both the owner and tenant regarding the condition and return of such items.

How many witnesses are required for rent agreement registration?

Two witnesses are required for Leave & License agreement registration in Maharashtra. Both witnesses must have their Aadhaar cards available for biometric verification during the registration process.

Can multiple tenants be added in the rent agreement?

Yes. Multiple licensees (tenants) can be added in the same Leave & License agreement. All parties must be present for Aadhaar biometric verification, or can authorize a POA holder.
