Tenant verification helps Delhi Police receive identifying and address information about a person occupying a property as a tenant. Delhi Police's Citizen Charter states that owners are required to inform the local police whenever they keep a tenant. The online service is intended to simplify submission of those particulars.

Tenant Verification and the Law After 1 July 2024
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 were replaced from 1 July 2024 by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for the matters covered by those new laws. The provision corresponding to the old IPC section 188 is BNS section 223, titled Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant.
Under section 223 BNS, where a person knowingly disobeys a qualifying order of a lawfully empowered public servant and the statutory consequences are met, punishment may extend to six months with fine up to ₹2,500 (or both) in the first category; where the disobedience causes or tends to cause danger to human life, health or safety, or a riot or affray, punishment may extend to one year with fine up to ₹5,000 (or both).
Important: Whether a landlord is legally required to submit tenant information in a particular case may depend on a currently operative order/direction and its territorial and temporal scope. Check the latest Delhi Police directions or contact the concerned police station when in doubt.
Practical Tips Before Submission
- Use only the official delhipolice.gov.in and cctns.delhipolice.gov.in portals for police registration.
- Do not share your citizen-services password or OTP with brokers or third parties.
- Use clear, readable documents and verify that names and addresses match the supporting proof.
- Save the acknowledgement/reference number after submission.
- If the online service is unavailable, use the official downloadable form or contact the concerned police station.
