1) under provisions of maharashtra rent act 1999 registration of rent agreeemnt is mandatory

2)section 55. Tenancy agreement to be compulsorily registered.

Pagdi system is nothing but another form of rental agreement.

Thus the rental or lease agreement is the valid document to prove this.

I have 2 small rooms of 100 sq ft which are Pagdi system and we have rent slips for that room which were paid in cash till now . Do I need to register these rooms as well and if I do what should I show

You have to secure the rental receipts and other proofs of your tenancy or bonafide residential proof.

The rental receipts will be a substantial proof to prove your tenancy and eligibility for redevelopment issues
