Getting a rent agreement in Pune, in short
In Pune, a rent agreement is a leave and license agreement, and it must be registered under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 - a notarised agreement on stamp paper is not enough. Registration can be done online, with biometric verification of the owner, tenant and two witnesses. You pay stamp duty (0.25% of total rent plus notional interest on the deposit), a registration fee and document handling charges to the government.

Pune city and Pimpri-Chinchwad are different
Pune (PMC) and Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC) are separate cities with separate corporations and police commissionerates. Registration is the same in both, but property tax receipts come from different corporations and tenant information goes to different police - Pune City Police or the Pimpri-Chinchwad Police Commissionerate. Some fast-growing areas, such as parts of Hinjewadi, are under gram panchayats, where the registration fee is lower.
