Renting in Maharashtra
NoBroker's Mumbai page says every leave and licence agreement must be registered and offers Aadhaar biometric verification at home for it. If you are renting in Maharashtra and want registration handled, a service like this is the practical choice. Our draft does not register anything.
Renting elsewhere, just need the paper
If your state lets you print an 11-month agreement on stamp paper and sign it with witnesses, IndiaDigital's free draft is enough: fill it, download Word or PDF in English or Hindi, print it on stamp paper or attach an e-stamp, and sign. Nothing you type is uploaded.
Speed and convenience
NoBroker handles the e-stamp, e-sign and delivery, which saves a trip, and says a soft copy is shared within 24 hours. IndiaDigital is instant but leaves the stamp paper, printing and signing to you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the IndiaDigital rent agreement legally valid?
It is a general format, not legal advice. A rent agreement becomes usable when it is printed on stamp paper (or with an e-stamp certificate) of the value your state requires and signed by both parties and two witnesses. Leases of more than one year must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908. For a dispute or a large amount, consult a lawyer.
Does IndiaDigital deliver the agreement or provide e-stamp paper?
No. We give a free draft only. You buy stamp paper or an e-stamp certificate for your state, print the draft on it and sign it.
Do I need Aadhaar to use NoBroker's rent agreement?
As of 30 Oct 2026, NoBroker's page says Aadhaar is mandatory for the landlord and the tenant, and it uses Aadhaar-based e-sign.
Which is better in Maharashtra?
In Maharashtra leave and licence agreements must be registered, so a service that handles registration and biometrics, such as NoBroker's, is the more practical option. You can still use our draft to agree the terms first.
