This page explains the current online process, the information normally requested, and the legal position after the new criminal laws came into force.

Updated legal note: Older references to Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code should not be presented as the current criminal-law provision for new offences. With effect from 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, dealing with disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a lawfully empowered public servant. Its application depends on the existence, knowledge and disobedience of such a lawful order and the statutory consequences described in the section. This is distinct from saying that a police NOC is universally required for every tenancy.

Current Law: BNS Section 223 and the Former IPC Section 188

Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 now addresses disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant. Broadly, where the statutory conditions are met, clause (a) provides punishment up to six months' simple imprisonment, fine up to ₹2,500, or both for the specified lower-level consequences; clause (b) provides punishment up to one year, fine up to ₹5,000, or both where the disobedience causes or tends to cause danger to human life, health or safety, or causes or tends to cause a riot or affray.

Whether Section 223 applies in a particular tenancy situation depends on the facts and on any lawful order actually promulgated by the competent public servant. The official Palghar Police tenant-information page itself specifically states that Police NOC is not required for renting a flat or house.
