Once your Thane rent agreement is registered, one step still remains: police intimation — informing the local police about the new tenant. Thane falls under the Thane City Police Commissionerate (separate from Mumbai Police), and the responsibility sits with the landlord. This guide covers exactly how to do police intimation for a rent agreement in Thane, area-wise.
Yes — under the Maharashtra Police Act. The landlord must inform the local police station about every new tenant after move-in. Thane is handled by the Thane City Police Commissionerate, so the jurisdiction and submission channel differ from Mumbai. AgreementDesk identifies the correct Thane police station, completes the submission, and delivers the acknowledgment to you.
Why you should not skip it in Thane
Under the Maharashtra Police Act, failure to inform the police about a tenant can attract a fine and penal action against the landlord. The obligation is on the property owner, not the tenant — and many Thane societies on Ghodbunder Road and in Wagle Estate ask for the police-intimation acknowledgment before activating amenities or parking.

How to Do Police Intimation for a Rent Agreement in Thane
Thane tenant intimation is submitted to the police station that has jurisdiction over the property address, under the Thane City Police Commissionerate. The exact channel (online facility vs in-person at the station) can vary — always confirm the current method with the local station, or let AgreementDesk handle it.
-
1Identify the correct Thane police station Based on the property’s address, not yours. Wrong station = rejected submission. See the area-wise table below.
-
2Get the tenant information / police intimation form Available at the local Thane police station, and through the Thane Police facility online where offered. No concept knowledge needed — it’s a tenant-details form.
-
3Fill landlord details Full name, Aadhaar, PAN, complete property address (flat, floor, wing, society, area, pin), and mobile number.
-
4Fill tenant details Aadhaar, passport-size photograph, employer/college name and address, permanent home address, and workplace details.
-
5Add 2–3 tenant references People who know the tenant personally: name, relationship and contact number for each.
-
6Attach the registered rent agreement copy The agreement should already be registered and carry the Sub-Registrar stamp and registration number.
-
7Submit and collect the acknowledgment Submit to the jurisdiction station (online or in person) and save the acknowledgment — your society, employer or bank may ask for it.
Timeline: Complete the intimation soon after the tenant takes possession and the agreement is registered — do not leave it for the end of the tenancy. Submitting promptly keeps the liability off the landlord.
Thane Area-Wise Police Station Jurisdiction
Jurisdiction in Thane is decided by the property address, not where the landlord or tenant lives. Here is a general reference for major Thane localities — confirm the exact station for your address before submitting:
| Area / Locality | Likely Jurisdiction Police Station |
|---|---|
| Naupada, Gokhale Road, Talao Pali | Naupada Police Station |
| Kopri, Thane (East), near Thane station east | Kopri Police Station |
| Wagle Estate, Road No. 16–22, MIDC Thane | Wagle Estate Police Station |
| Vartak Nagar, Lokmanya Nagar | Vartak Nagar Police Station |
| Majiwada, Kapurbawdi, Manpada junction | Kapurbawdi Police Station |

| Kasarvadavali, Ghodbunder Road (upper) | Kasarvadavali Police Station |
| Mumbra, Kausa | Mumbra Police Station |
| Kalwa, Vitava | Kalwa Police Station |
💡 Note: The above is a general reference. Exact jurisdiction boundaries vary by lane, society and locality, and stations are periodically reorganised. AgreementDesk verifies the correct Thane police station for your specific property address before submitting — avoiding rejected submissions and repeat trips.

Who Is Responsible — Landlord or Tenant?
In Thane the duty is the landlord’s. Under the Maharashtra Police Act, the property owner (or an authorised representative) must inform the police about a new tenant — the tenant cannot file it on the owner’s behalf. A few Thane-specific points:
- Many Thane societies (Ghodbunder Road towers, Wagle Estate, Hiranandani Estate) ask for the police-intimation acknowledgment before issuing parking or amenity access
- A fresh intimation is needed at every renewal of the rent agreement
- For flatmates / co-living, the intimation should cover all occupants named in the agreement

Thane vs Mumbai Police Intimation — Brief Differences
The legal requirement is identical (the Maharashtra Police Act applies to both), but the authority and channel differ:
- Authority: Thane is handled by the Thane City Police Commissionerate and its stations; Mumbai by the Brihanmumbai (Mumbai) Police.
- Submission: Mumbai has a dedicated online tenant portal (mumbaipolice.gov.in); in Thane, confirm whether the local station accepts online submission or requires in-person filing.
- Jurisdiction: A Thane property must go to a Thane police station — never a Mumbai one — even though both are in the MMR region.
NRI Landlords — Police Intimation by Power of Attorney
If you are an NRI landlord and cannot be physically present in Thane, police intimation can be completed by a trusted representative holding a notarized Power of Attorney. The POA must be executed in your country of residence, notarized, and attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate.
AgreementDesk assists NRI landlords with POA drafting guidance and police-intimation submission — so the Thane process can be handled without flying down.
