Most people overthink the documents needed for rent agreement registration in Mumbai. The reality is simple — you only need 3 documents to get started with propdeed. No passport photos, no notarisation, no office visit.
Both landlord & tenant
& tenant
Electricity bill
That's it. Send these 3 documents via WhatsApp — our team handles everything else including doorstep biometric, stamp duty payment, and government registration. These same documents apply whether you register online or offline — though online with propdeed is faster and cheaper.
Document 1 — Aadhaar Card
Aadhaar is used for Aadhaar-based biometric fingerprint verification — our staff visits your home with a fingerprint scanner. The Aadhaar number is matched against the UIDAI database during the biometric scan to confirm identity.
💡 Important
Both the landlord and tenant must be physically present at the property during the doorstep biometric visit. propdeed's staff brings the fingerprint scanner to you — no office visit needed.
Document 2 — PAN Card
Document 3 — Property Ownership Proof
What About Witnesses?
Two witnesses are required by law for rent agreement registration in Maharashtra. They must be physically present during the doorstep biometric visit. propdeed's staff will guide you on witness requirements during the process — witnesses should have their Aadhaar cards available at the time of the visit.
What You Do NOT Need
- No passport-size photographs needed
- No stamp paper to purchase yourself
- No visit to Sub-Registrar Office (SRO)
- No notarisation required
- No separate address proof (Aadhaar covers this)
- No No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from society — unless your society specifically requires it
