Property Registration and Legal Permit in India

[Mansi0]

Hello all you wonderful hosts in India!

I hope you are having a great time hosting interesting people and shariang exciting experiences!

My question is about legality of hosting a property on Airbnb in India and the permits/registration required to do so. From Airbnb’s website, I understand that hosts are responsible for communicating this with the local government.  I have contacted the Ministry of Tourism office, here in Bangalore, who suggested registration of a property listing for home-stay or bed and breakfasts is not mandatory and establishments can be run without any restriction.

However, after going through the section under Responsible Hosting - Registration of Guests ( https://www.airbnb.co.in/help/responsible-hosting ), I believe the regulations in India require maintaining a register for guest check-in and check-out records. Furthermore, there are certain forms like Form C  and Form F , which property and listing details need to be mentioned. This contradicts the statement by the representative from the Ministry of Tourism and the ambiguity still prevails.

I would greatly appreciate if you could share your experiences and advise on how you have gone about the legality of your listing registration, permits and guest records.

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Mansi

Hi

I am a new host in Mumbai. I have hosted my initial 2 guests in last week. My society is objecting. It will be great if I can make myself full proof till the meeting with soc members on coming Sunday...

[Pratik13]

were you able to sort it? I am getting strict resistance from secretary. How do we handle this? How can they prohibit us if we own the property and pay non-occupancy charges? let's connect and solve this together. I feel my society just wants to bully uninformed people.
