FAQ

Questions, Answered

What people ask before e-registering a leave-and-license agreement with us.

Understanding e-registration

What is e-registration of a rent agreement?

E-registration is the Maharashtra government's facility for registering a leave-and-license agreement without anyone attending the sub-registrar's office. Identities are confirmed through the Aadhaar system and signatures are captured on a biometric device, so the document is registered electronically with the Department of Registration & Stamps.

Is an e-registered agreement legally valid?

Yes. An e-registered agreement carries the same legal standing as one registered at the sub-registrar's office, and is issued with a government registration number.

Can I use it as address proof?

Yes. An e-registered rent agreement is accepted as address proof for banks, police verification, utility connections and society records.

What exactly does Divine Realty do in the process?

Divine Realty acts as your facilitator. We prepare the leave-and-license draft, share it with both parties for approval, and once the terms are confirmed our executive visits you with the biometric kit to complete Aadhaar verification. We stay responsible for the file until the document is registered with the government and the registered copy reaches you.

Documents and charges

Which documents do we need to provide?

For the property: a recent electricity bill or the Index-2 copy. For the licensor (owner): Aadhaar and PAN. For the licensee (tenant) and both witnesses: Aadhaar and PAN. If an earlier agreement exists for the same premises, sharing a copy helps us prepare the draft faster.

What if a party does not have an Aadhaar or PAN?

Aadhaar is required because identity is verified through the Aadhaar system, and PAN is required for the parties to the agreement. If someone is missing either, call us before you start and we will tell you what can be done in your specific case.

What does registration cost?

Considerably less than registering offline, because there is no travel or agent overhead. Use the calculator on our pricing page for an exact figure — it shows the government stamp duty and registration fee alongside our service and doorstep charges, so you see the full amount before committing.

Who pays the stamp duty and registration fee?

Divine Realty remits the stamp duty and registration fee to the government online on your behalf, from the amount collected at the start. You receive the e-challan once registration is complete, so you can verify exactly what was paid to the government.

The doorstep visit

Do we have to visit the sub-registrar's office?

No. Our executive comes to a place and time you choose — home, office, or anywhere convenient — and completes the registration in front of you. The visit itself usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Do the landlord and tenant have to be present together?

No. We can verify each party separately, so nobody has to rearrange their day to match the other's schedule.

What if the landlord and tenant are in different cities or abroad?

If the parties are in different cities we arrange separate visits. If someone is currently outside India, call us first — depending on the situation we will either guide you through a remote option or through appointing a power-of-attorney holder.

Can a power-of-attorney holder sign on the owner's behalf?

Yes. A POA holder can act as the licensor, in which case the registered agreement records the POA holder's name as licensor rather than the owner's. Tell us before drafting so the document is prepared correctly.

How many witnesses are needed?

Two. Both witnesses need an Aadhaar and PAN, and both must be available at the time of verification.

Can more than one tenant be added to the agreement?

Yes. Any number of parties can be included, provided each one has an Aadhaar and PAN.

Timelines and support

How long does registration take?

Once biometric verification is done, the file is submitted to the department and the registered copy is emailed to you within 3 to 5 working days.

What happens if the government portal is delayed?

Departmental delays are uncommon but do happen. If your file is held up we will tell you rather than leave you guessing, and you can reach us on phone or WhatsApp during working hours for a status update at any point.

Why should I trust Divine Realty with my documents?

We are a RERA registered advisor and consultant operating from Wakad and Narhe in Pune, and you can speak to us directly before sharing anything. Your documents are used solely for preparing and registering your agreement and are never used for any other purpose. If you have doubts, call us first and ask — we would rather answer your questions than have you register uncertain.

Still have a question?

Ask us before you start — we would rather clear a doubt now than have you register uncertain. Reach Divine Realty on WhatsApp or call +91 820 855 1352.
