Guest House Registration in Faridabad and Haryana

No. A guest house in a Haryana city needs several permissions, not one certificate. These are land-use permission for the building, a municipal business licence under Section 331 of the Haryana Municipal Corporation Act, 1994, fire safety approval where the size triggers it, FSSAI if you serve food, and GST once turnover crosses the threshold. Rural home stays have their own scheme. We list exactly what your property needs before you spend anything.

Not if it lies within municipal limits. The Haryana Home Stay (Amendment) Scheme, 2024 applies across the state except areas within municipal corporations, councils and committees, so Faridabad city is outside it. A house in a village of Faridabad district outside those limits can apply, with up to five rooms and the family living there. We check the property’s location first, so you do not file under the wrong scheme.

The registration fee is ₹200 under the 2024 amendment, and the registration is renewed every five years. You apply with Aadhaar, Parivar Pehchan Patra, proof of ownership, a photograph and room details. A committee headed by the Additional Deputy Commissioner inspects and approves, and police verification is part of the process. We prepare the file and coordinate the inspection.

Three concessions, plus help with loans. A registered rural home stay is exempt from local taxes and pays domestic rates for electricity and water. The scheme also offers interest subsidy, on reimbursement, for up to three years on loans of up to ₹3 lakh per room, capped at ₹15 lakh per unit. Breach the eligibility conditions and the benefits stop. We keep your records in order.

Possibly, with permission. Haryana’s planning policy allows guest and boarding houses on residential plots of at least 500 square yards in developed sectors, as a pay-and-use facility for stays under one month. The owner pays 50% of the commercial conversion charges for up to 150% FAR and builds to the Haryana Building Code, 2017. Rooms cannot be sold. We check the current terms for your sector before you commit.

It depends on size and height. Under Section 18 of the Haryana Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022, hotel-type buildings with more than 500 sq m of floor area on any floor need fire scheme approval, and all high-rise buildings need it too. Smaller units still need basic fire safety; home stays must keep a fire extinguisher. We check your building against the Act and arrange the fire safety certificate if required.

From 22 September 2025, rooms with a tariff below ₹7,500 per unit per day attract 5% GST without input tax credit. At ₹7,500 and above, the rate is 18% with input tax credit. This follows Notification No. 15/2025-Central Tax (Rate). You charge GST only after you register, which is needed once turnover crosses the threshold. We set up your invoicing so each room is billed at the right rate.

File Form C online within 24 hours of the guest’s arrival. Section 8 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025 makes every person providing accommodation to a foreigner report the stay, and the form is filed on the FRRO portal at indianfrro.gov.in. Home stays must also inform the local police station. We set up your login once; after that, each report is quick.
