Respected Sir,
Good Day
As a licensor, I have rented out a flat for an 11-month to a licensee with registered leave and license agreement in Navi Mumbai first time,She has just completed 03 months and now insisting for an NOC as police asked her to bring for verification purpose. can I legally refuse to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the licensee's Tatkal passport police verification? Or am I required by law to provide additional document support?
Thanks

Quick Summary

A licensor in Navi Mumbai is seeking advice on whether they are legally obligated to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a tenant's passport police verification. The tenant, who has been renting for three months under a registered agreement, has been asked by the police to provide this document. The licensor is unsure if they can refuse or if providing the NOC is a legal requirement.

The matter is at your discretion. You may provide the NOC if the request is bonafide.

What is the purpose / requirement for issuance of "NOC" for processing application for passport of the tenant ?

Ashish Davessar (Advocate) 28 September 2026

The licensor is not bound to provide NOC for the passport application of the licensee. However, if he chooses to give it, it is not bad in law either. If the licensee has been inducted for a short duration of 3 months, it may not be wise to provide NOC.
