Assam promotes homestays as a way to experience local culture and support communities. Here's a breakdown of the regulations and the process for registering your homestay in Assam: 

Eligibility: 

• Individuals or families who own a good quality house in Assam can register.
• The house must have at least one spare room and a maximum of six rooms for tourist accommodation. 
• At least one owner must reside in the same unit as the guests. 

Registration Process: 

Contact the Assam Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC): 

• The ATDC is the nodal agency responsible for homestay registration. 
• Visit their website (http://tourism.assam.gov.in/) or contact them directly for the latest information on registration and required documents. 

Application Form: 

• Obtain the application form for homestay registration from the ATDC. 

Documents Required: 

• The exact list of documents might change, so it's best to confirm with the ATDC. Here are some common requirements: 
• Application form (duly filled) 
• Land ownership documents (Miyadi Patta) [1] 
• Police Clearance Certificate from the local police station [3] 
• NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the local authority (might be required) [3] 
• A set of photos (property, amenities) 
• Undertaking from the owner on a stamp paper (affidavit) [3] 
• Registration fee (amount varies based on classification) [3] 

Application Submission: 

• Submit the completed application form with all the required documents to the ATDC. 

Inspection: 

• The ATDC will conduct a surprise inspection of your homestay to verify compliance with standards [1]. 

Classification: 

• Based on the inspection, your homestay will be classified as Diamond House (Class A), Gold House (Class B), or Silver House (Class C) [1]. This determines the registration fee. 

Registration and Recognition: 

• Upon successful inspection and fulfilling all requirements, the ATDC will register your homestay and grant you a certificate.
