For residents of Chandni Chowk (Old Delhi district, Chandni Chowk sub-division).

Legal assistance in Chandni Chowk

Chandni Chowk is now a sub-division of the new Old Delhi district. Joint-family homes and inherited properties are common, so residence proof is often in a relative's name. Inter-religion couples from the walled city usually marry under the Special Marriage Act, and privacy around the public notice is a frequent concern that we explain carefully.

Chandni Chowk is the name of a sub-division of Old Delhi district, so most addresses in Chandni Chowk fall in the Chandni Chowk sub-division. Colonies on the edges can fall in a neighbouring sub-division. We confirm the exact office for your address before any application is filed.

Chandni Chowk and Sadar Bazar sub-divisions were earlier part of Central district. They form the new Old Delhi district from January 2026. Delhi's revenue districts were reorganised from 11 to 13 by a Revenue Department notification of 25 December 2025. The new districts are Central, Central North, East, New Delhi, North, North East, North West, Old Delhi, Outer North, South, South East, South West and West; Shahdara is no longer a separate revenue district. SDM (sub-division) boundaries moved with this change, so the Marriage Officer or registering authority for your address may differ from what older websites say. Always confirm your current sub-division on the Delhi Revenue Department website before applying. A further notification of 3 September 2026 aligned registration jurisdiction with these boundaries, with a Sub-Registrar office for each of the 39 sub-divisions.
