The older page referred users to the Sampark e-payment URL. Because Chandigarh Police is presently migrating citizen services to its current police portal, applicants should use the live Chandigarh Police Citizen Services route shown above rather than depend on the older service address.
Information and documents for Tenant/PG verification
The official Chandigarh Police Tenant/PG Verification Proforma provides a useful indication of the particulars that may be required. The form includes the address of the rented premises, landlord details, tenant or PG particulars, permanent and previous address, occupation, mobile number, family member details, identity-proof information and signatures.
| Category | Typical particulars |
|---|---|
| Rented property | House number and Sector, Colony or Village in Chandigarh. |
| Landlord | Name, age, occupation, mobile number and other details required by the form. |
| Tenant or PG | Name, age, parentage, permanent address, police station, district, state and mobile number. |
| Occupancy | Whether residing alone, as a couple or with family; tenant or PG status; commencement of stay and rent-deed information where applicable. |
| Additional particulars | Previous address, occupation, passport or weapon details where applicable, family-member information and identity proof. |
Applicants should follow the current online form if its requirements differ from the downloadable proforma. Do not upload unnecessary personal documents beyond what the official service asks for.
Legal basis: Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
Section 163 BNSS - urgent cases of nuisance or apprehended danger: Section 163 empowers a District Magistrate, Sub-Divisional Magistrate or other specially empowered Executive Magistrate to issue a written direction requiring a person to abstain from a specified act or to take specified measures concerning property under that person's possession or management when immediate prevention or speedy remedy is considered necessary.
Chandigarh District Magistrate orders have used this provision to require landlords, owners, tenants or managers of residential or commercial establishments to furnish tenant or Paying Guest particulars to the local police before renting or sub-letting accommodation. Because such preventive orders operate for the period stated in the particular order, landlords should check the latest Chandigarh Administration order applicable at the time of letting.
Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023
Section 223 BNS - disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant: this provision deals with knowing disobedience of a lawfully promulgated order where the statutory conditions are satisfied. Where a valid tenant-verification direction has been promulgated by a competent authority, non-compliance may have legal consequences depending on the terms of the order and the facts of the case.
This provision replaced the broadly corresponding offence that was earlier found in Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The current criminal-law references should therefore be checked under the BNS and BNSS framework for conduct occurring after the new criminal laws came into force.

Frequently asked questions
Is tenant verification the same as registration of a rent deed?
No. Police tenant verification concerns furnishing tenant or PG particulars for police and public-safety purposes. Registration of a lease or rent deed is a separate property-document process governed by the applicable registration and tenancy law.
Can I use an old Sampark tenant-registration bookmark?
Use the current Chandigarh Police website first. Chandigarh Police has announced migration of citizen-centric services from the older Citizen Portal to its main website, so old service URLs may change or stop working.
Who should submit tenant information?
The person responsible should follow the wording of the current District Magistrate order and the Chandigarh Police application form. Such orders have applied to landlords, owners, tenants or managers in relation to rented or sub-let accommodation.
Should I keep proof after submission?
Yes. Save the acknowledgement, application number, receipt or other confirmation generated by the official portal and retain a copy of the information submitted.
