Is Tenant Verification Compulsory in Assam?
Tenant verification requirements can depend on applicable law, police directions, local orders and the circumstances of the tenancy. It is therefore preferable not to describe police verification as universally compulsory for every tenancy unless a specific applicable order or legal requirement says so.
Landlords and tenants should follow the current instructions issued by Assam Police and any applicable local authority. Where a lawful order of a public servant requires a person to do or abstain from a particular act, non-compliance may have legal consequences under the applicable law.
Current Criminal Law Reference: BNS Section 223
The earlier reference to Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code should not be used as the current criminal-law reference because the IPC has been replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 deals with disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant. The provision applies where its statutory conditions are satisfied; it does not by itself create a blanket requirement that every landlord in Assam must obtain tenant verification.
For the current text of the provision, applicants should consult the official India Code version of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
Important Instructions Before Submission

Can the Application Be Edited After Submission?
