Common questions

Do I need stamp paper for a landlord NOC?
Most offices accept a plain signed letter with the owner's ID copy. Some ask for it on stamp paper or with a notary stamp. The rule differs by city and office, so ask the issuing office before you print it.
What if I own the shop myself?
Then you do not need this letter. Attach your ownership proof, such as the latest property tax receipt or the sale deed.
Can the NOC be given if the owner lives in another city?
Yes. The owner can sign and send a scanned copy with the ID proof. Check with the office whether an original signature is needed.
