Property owners and tenants in Pune can complete the leave and licence agreement registration process online, helping ensure that rental arrangements are formally registered and the required details are submitted to authorities.

The online process involves entering property and party details, preparing the agreement, paying the applicable charges and completing registration through the sub-registrar's office.

Applicants need to visit the official Inspector General of Registration (IGR) website and go to the "New Entry" section.

They must select the relevant district, create and confirm a password and enter the captcha.

The next step involves providing details of the property, including:

Applicants need to update the information after completing each section.

Details of the parties to the agreement must then be entered.

Applicants need to select whether the party is the licensor or licensee and provide details such as:

The information should be updated after each entry.

The agreement section requires details of the rental arrangement, including rent, deposit and other terms.

Applicants can then update and review the draft agreement before proceeding with registration.

Once the agreement details are finalised, the applicable stamp duty and registration fees can be paid online through the payment gateway.

The agreement is then submitted for registration.

As part of the process, parties may undergo Aadhaar-based fingerprint or iris scan verification.

After payment and submission, the agreement is registered with the sub-registrar's office (SRO).

Once registration is completed, the registered document can be downloaded online.

The Pune joint district registrar office recorded 2.44 lakh online leave and licence registrations between April and August 20, 2026, the highest in the Pune region during the period.

Across Maharashtra, 7.05 lakh online leave and licence registrations were recorded during the same period.

These registrations generated ₹984.64 crore in stamp duty and ₹658.3 crore in registration fees.

Registration of property has become important in the wake of Pune's registration department's warning to property owners across the city. They have asked the landlords and Paying Guest (PG) operators to register their leave-and-licence agreements or risk police action.

Pune is home to a large floating population with many residing in rented accommodation without formal agreements in place.
