According to Section 49 of the Registration Act, an unregistered rental agreement shall not be admissible in evidence. Rental agreements which are under 11 months don’t have to be registered or notarised.
All rental agreements that are for a period over 11 months need to be registered at the office of the Sub-Registrar. The Sub-Registrar checks the validity of the entire document and also sees if the required stamp duty has been paid or not, only thereafter does he proceed to register the agreement. Stamp duty and registration charges for lease vary from state to state and reference shall be made to the Stamp Duty Act of the concerned state.
A notarised agreement can only be treated as a valid proof of address in some cases like, getting a new phone connection or a wifi connection etc.However, for any act involving the Government like, passport application or renewal of passport, claiming HRA deductions etc., a registered rental agreement is required.
Thus, it is advisable that you register your lease agreement and notarize it.
