Can You Host an Airbnb in Delhi? It Depends on the Home

Spare rooms in your own home while you live there

Allowed with conditions

Register as a B&B with the Department of Tourism (INR 3,000 Silver or INR 5,000 Gold), which is recommended rather than compulsory; the owner must live on site and may let at most two-thirds of the bedrooms, up to five double rooms.4,5,15

A whole home you own but do not live in

Allowed with conditions

Allowed with conditions

A B&B applicant who rents the property needs a Special Power of Attorney from the owner, registered for at least four years, and the lease must allow hosting.5,19

  • B&B route: the application needs a police verification report in the prescribed format (Form-B), a layout plan of all floors, proof of ownership and a family background note.

FAQ

Delhi Short-Term Rental Laws: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Airbnb legal in Delhi?

Yes. Delhi's B&B Act provides for registering owner-occupied homes as B&Bs, which Airbnb's Delhi guidance calls recommended, and lodging houses and guest houses need a Delhi Police licence before they open.7,15

Do I need a permit or licence for Airbnb in Delhi?

A lodging house, boarding house or guest house must hold a Delhi Police licence. An owner who lives in the home may register as a B&B instead, which is recommended rather than compulsory.7,15

INR 5,000 for the Gold category and INR 3,000 for the Silver category, paid online or by demand draft; the Department of Tourism aims to decide within 30 days.5

How many rooms can a Delhi B&B let?

Is there a separate tourist or luxury tax in Delhi?

Airbnb's India tax page lists GST as the only tax added to a reservation, and the B&B Act exempts a registered B&B from the Delhi luxury tax and VAT.4,17

Can I list a rented flat or a flat in a housing society?

Method

How These Rules Were Checked

Each rule on this page was checked in October 2026 against the official source cited beside it: the ordinance or statute, the permit office's own pages and the tax authority. Airbnb's help pages are cited on their own only for what Airbnb itself does, such as the taxes it collects and the permit checks it runs, and otherwise only beside an official source; news reports only for when a change was announced. Rules that could not be confirmed on an official page are left out. Pages on tourism.delhi.gov.in, degs.org.in, delhipolicelicensing.gov.in and lg.delhi.gov.in were read from Internet Archive copies (2023 to 2026), and the 2007 B&B Act was read in a browser on Indian Kanoon.

Rules change with council votes, court rulings and new state laws, so the page is rechecked every three months and whenever a scheduled change takes effect. It summarizes the rules for information and is not legal advice; the state agency and your city or county has the final word on any application.
