Tenant Police Verification Online in Noida, Gurugram & Delhi
Contents
If you own a flat in Delhi NCR and plan to rent it out, tenant police verification is one of the first jobs on your list. It is quick, cheap and easy to put off. This guide covers who has to file, which police portal applies in each city, what to upload, and what can go wrong if you skip it.
A note on what we checked (20 October 2026): We read the Haryana Police fee page directly. For Delhi and Uttar Pradesh we relied on recent guides and local reports, because portal screens and fees change often. Where sources disagree, we say so. Always confirm the final fee and form on the official portal before you pay.
The short answer
- The landlord or property owner starts the process, not the tenant.
- The police force that covers the property’s address handles it. Your tenant’s office or home state does not matter.
- There are three portals in NCR: Delhi Police, Uttar Pradesh Police (Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad) and Haryana Police (Gurugram, Faridabad).
- The legal risk usually comes from a local police order. Disobeying such an order falls under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Who must file tenant police verification?
The duty sits with the person giving out the accommodation. One recent guide on PGs and hostels says the order is aimed at the owner, who is the one prosecuted if it is ignored. The tenant’s own duty is practical: give accurate identity details when asked.
This covers flats, independent houses, gated societies and shared accommodation, according to a Delhi housing-society guide. NRI and outstation owners can also file online without being in the city, as several Gurugram guides point out.
The portal depends on the property’s location. A worked example: a tenant takes a PG bed in Noida Sector 62 and works in Connaught Place, Delhi. The verification goes to UP Police, because the PG is in Gautam Buddh Nagar. The Delhi office plays no part.
Is it legally compulsory everywhere, for every tenancy? The honest answer is that it depends on the order in force. India has no single national tenant-verification law. One guide explains that the duty comes from local orders by the Police Commissioner or District Magistrate. These orders are usually issued for about 60 days and then renewed. A Noida local-news site also cautions that a police service existing is not proof that every tenancy is legally covered. Treat verification as expected practice, and ask your local police station if you are unsure.
Which portal covers which city
| City | Police force | Where to start | Fee (as reported) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi | Delhi Police | delhipolice.gov.in, Citizen Services, then Domestic Help/Tenant Registration | Sources conflict: some say free online, others report ₹250 to ₹500 |
| Noida, Greater Noida | UP Police (Gautam Buddh Nagar) | Tenant/PG Verification on the UP Police CCTNS citizen portal or the UPCOP app | Sources conflict: about ₹50 in some guides, free in another |
| Ghaziabad | UP Police | Same UP Police portal and app | Same as above |
| Gurugram | Haryana Police | HarSamay, eSaral or the JanSahayak app | ₹50 on the official Haryana Police fee list |
| Faridabad | Haryana Police | Same Haryana portals | ₹50 |
Only the Haryana fee is confirmed on an official page. For Delhi and UP, check the amount shown at the payment step.
Delhi: steps on the Delhi Police portal
- Open the Delhi Police website and go to Citizen Services. Choose the Domestic Help/Tenant Registration option.
- Create an account with your mobile number and verify the OTP, then log in.
- Choose tenant registration and add a new registration. One guide describes four sections: owner details, tenant details, family members and an affidavit.
- Upload the tenant’s photograph, ID proof and address proof. The same guide mentions a 200 KB limit per file, so compress scans first.
- Submit, then save the acknowledgement or service request number. A printout of the application can serve as proof you applied.
You can also file offline. Download the form from the Delhi Police site or collect it from your local police station. Submit it with photographs, self-attested ID copies, address proof and the rent agreement. Some guides mention a Delhi Police mobile app, but they name different apps (Tatpar in one, Suraksha in another). Use the official website as your reference.
Delhi tenants from abroad need a valid passport and visa on file.
Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad: steps on the UP Police portal
UP Police lists Tenant/PG Verification among its citizen services. It runs through the CCTNS citizen portal, and the portal points mobile users to the UPCOP app. Noida, Greater Noida and Greater Noida West all fall under the Gautam Buddh Nagar commissionerate, so the same process applies. The request is routed to your local police station.
- Open the UP Police citizen services page or the UPCOP app.
- Register with your mobile number, then log in.
- Choose Tenant/PG Verification.
- Enter the owner’s details, the tenant’s details and the rented address.
- Upload ID proof, a photograph and, where asked, the rent agreement and ownership papers.
- Submit and note the application number. You can use it later to track the request.
Ignore old links. One 2026 guide advises against the previous noidapolice.com tenant-verification pages and says to use the current UP Police route. UP Police also offers downloadable forms in Hindi and English if the online service is down or the station asks for paper.
Ghaziabad landlords follow the same UP Police portal. Guides describe the same set of uploads: ID, address proof, photographs, rent agreement and ownership papers.
Processing times vary. Guides quote anything from about 5 days to 30 days, and one local site refuses to promise any time. Plan on a few weeks and do not rely on a fixed number.

Gurugram and Faridabad: steps on the Haryana Police portal
Haryana Police’s own fee page lists these channels for its citizen services: the HarSamay portal, the eSaral portals and the JanSahayak app. The state’s police e-services page directs tenant verification to HarSamay or Saral Haryana.
- Open HarSamay and create a citizen login with your mobile number.
- Select Tenant Verification under citizen or verification services.
- Fill in the landlord’s details, then the tenant’s personal information, address and family members. If the tenant is from another district, a Gurugram guide says you may need to add two references.
- Upload the photo and documents in the format the portal asks for. Check everything first, because one procedure guide says submitted forms cannot be altered.
- Pay the fee online and download the acknowledgement.
- When the police finish, download the report from the portal. A news report said Haryana Police started issuing digitally signed tenant verification certificates through HarSamay.
The Gurugram Police page also offers a paper route. Download the form, fill it and submit it to your police station with the documents. Keep a copy yourself and give another to your RWA president. That page is older, so confirm it still applies.
Faridabad falls under Haryana Police, so the same portals apply. For Gurugram homes, see our Gurugram guide.
Documents checklist
Requirements differ slightly by city. This list combines what guides report as common to all three.
| Document | From whom | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, voter ID or driving licence) | Tenant and landlord | Name must match the rent agreement |
| Address proof | Tenant (and landlord in some cases) | Tenant’s permanent address should match the ID |
| Passport-size photograph | Tenant (owner too, offline in Delhi) | Clear scan for online forms |
| Signed rent agreement | Landlord | Some portals ask for it |
| Proof of ownership (sale deed or property tax receipt) | Landlord | Asked in Gurugram and Ghaziabad guides |
| Passport and visa | Foreign tenants | Mentioned for Delhi |
Always follow what the portal asks at submission. The list on screen is the one that counts.
Cost and timing: worked examples
Example 1: a Gurugram flat. You apply on 1 November 2026. The official Haryana Police fee list shows ₹50 and a 21-day service period. That means the stipulated timeline runs to about 22 November. Move-in dates should not be fixed around that deadline, so apply before the tenant arrives.
Example 2: three rented flats in Faridabad. If each tenancy needs its own application at ₹50, the total is ₹150. We have not confirmed whether the portal charges per tenancy or per person, so check at the payment screen.
Example 3: cost versus risk. The maximum fine at the lower penalty tier (₹2,500, explained below) is 50 times the ₹50 Haryana fee. Even if Delhi charges ₹500, the fine ceiling is still five times higher.
What happens if you skip it
The penalty provision most guides cite is BNS Section 223, which replaced Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code from 1 July 2024. Some older websites still quote Section 188, so check the date on any guide you read.
| Situation | IPC 188 (old) | BNS 223 (current) |
|---|---|---|
| Disobedience causes or risks obstruction, annoyance or injury | Up to 1 month, or fine up to ₹200, or both | Up to 6 months, or fine up to ₹2,500, or both |
| Disobedience risks life, health or safety, or a riot or affray | Up to 6 months, or fine up to ₹1,000, or both | Up to 1 year, or fine up to ₹5,000, or both |
These are maximums, not standard penalties. They apply only where there is a valid order and the person knew about it. The courts decide each case on its facts.
Skipping verification also carries practical risks:
- Police questioning. If an unverified tenant is linked to a crime, the owner can be asked why no record exists. A Karnataka guide makes this point, and the logic applies elsewhere.
- Society rules. Many gated communities require police verification before move-in, particularly in Gurugram.
- Enforcement drives. A Noida rental guide says verification is periodically enforced with drives and fines. Pune Police booked landlords and tenants under Section 223 in July 2026, and an Amritsar landlord was booked for not reporting a tenant. These are not NCR cases, but they show police do act.
Verification is also not a full background check, and it does not make a property legal under building or fire rules. Still use a proper rent agreement and basic checks.
Practical tips for owners
- Apply before handing over keys.
- Match names, spellings and addresses across ID, agreement and form.
- Use only official portals. Third-party sites may charge more for the same job.
- Keep the acknowledgement number and the final report with your rent papers.
- Redo the process when the tenant changes.
- If a portal is down, use the paper form at the police station and keep a stamped copy.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for tenant police verification, the landlord or the tenant?
The landlord or property owner starts it, and the tenant supplies accurate ID and photographs. Guides on PGs and hostels say the owner is the person prosecuted if a police order is ignored.
Can I do tenant police verification online in Delhi NCR?
Yes. Delhi Police uses its Citizen Services portal, UP Police uses the CCTNS citizen portal and the UPCOP app, and Haryana Police uses HarSamay, eSaral and the JanSahayak app. Paper forms at the police station remain available.
How much does tenant police verification cost?
Haryana Police's official list shows ₹50 for its citizen services. Guides disagree on Delhi (free to ₹500) and UP (free to about ₹50), so check the amount at the payment step.
How long does tenant police verification take?
Haryana Police lists a 21-day service period. For Delhi and UP, guides give anything from a few days to about a month, and no official fixed time was confirmed.
What is the penalty for not getting tenant verification done?
Guides link it to BNS Section 223, which allows up to 6 months in jail or a fine up to ₹2,500, rising to 1 year or ₹5,000 where life, health or safety is at risk. It applies only where a valid police order exists and was knowingly disobeyed.
Does my tenant need to be verified again if I renew the lease?
We could not find an official rule on renewals. Check with your local police station or society, and file a fresh request if the tenant or occupants change.
Which portal do I use if my tenant works in a different city?
Use the portal for the police area where the rented property sits. The tenant's workplace or home state does not decide it.
