Who can use the Mumbai Police online tenant service?
The online Tenant Information service is for rented flats and houses situated within the limits of the Brihanmumbai Police Commissionerate. For property outside this jurisdiction, use the service or police station applicable to that area.
On the official portal, the property owner is required to provide details of the owner, rented property, tenant, tenant's workplace and persons who know the tenant. The portal also asks for photographs/identity details and uses OTP verification.

Current law: BNSS section 163 and BNS section 223
The old page referred to section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. India's new criminal laws came into force on 1 July 2024. For current orders, the corresponding legal framework may involve an order issued under section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), with disobedience of a duly promulgated public-servant order punishable under section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS).
This distinction is important: the official tenant portal itself remains available and Mumbai Police expressly provides multiple methods for furnishing tenant information, but whether a particular preventive order is presently in force should be checked from the latest official notice.
Police NOC vs tenant information
A police NOC is not required merely to rent a flat or house, according to the Mumbai Police Tenant Information page. This is different from furnishing tenant particulars to the police. Do not treat "NOC" and "tenant information/intimation" as the same procedure.
