Keep your identity documents safe
Please don’t upload or type Aadhaar, PAN or other identity numbers into any website form, including ours. We never ask for identity documents through an open web form. When documents are needed, we tell you exactly how to share them and who will see them. Biometric data is captured only through the authorised registration procedure - never stored by us.
Tips to avoid delays
- Make sure names match across Aadhaar, PAN and property documents. Spelling differences are a frequent cause of delay.
- Keep the mobile number linked to Aadhaar handy for each person who will authenticate.
- Agree on rent, deposit, period and notice terms before the draft is prepared.
- For jointly owned property, check whether all co-owners need to be parties.

Questions about documents
What documents are required for a rent agreement?
Typically: identity proof of the owner, tenant and witnesses (Aadhaar is generally used for authentication), PAN where applicable, a property ownership or address proof such as a tax receipt or Index II, and the agreed rent, deposit and period.
Exact requirements depend on the agreement type and the current registration procedure. See the full documents checklist. Please do not send identity documents through website forms - we will tell you the secure way to share them.
Is biometric verification required for a rent agreement in Maharashtra?
For registration, the parties' identities must be verified. In the online registration process this is done through Aadhaar-based authentication, which usually involves biometric (fingerprint) capture or the method currently permitted by the department.
The exact authentication method is set by IGR Maharashtra and can change. We coordinate the appointment so it happens correctly and at a convenient time. Read the role of biometrics in rent agreement registration.
Can I get a rent agreement made from home?
Yes, in most cases. Drafting can be handled over phone and WhatsApp, and where biometric authentication is required a visit can be arranged at your home or office through the authorised process, subject to availability in your area.
A doorstep visit is for identity verification and biometric capture - it does not by itself complete registration. Registration is complete only once the document is registered by the Department of Registration and Stamps. Learn more about our doorstep service.
