Paying Guest Agreement

I am keeping a paying guest who is also a family friend. I have informed the local police station, given his photograph and resume and obtained acknowledgement and submitted it to the cooperative housing society. It now wants that there should be an agreement which should be registered. I reproduce below the following informationThe essential distinction between a Lease and a Licence is that in a Lease, there is transfer of interest in the property while in the case of licence, there is no such transfer although the Licensee acquires only a personal right to occupy the property. This principle has been confirmed by number of High Courts and Supreme Court judgements (AIR 1968 S.C. 175 (178), AIR 1989 S.C. 1816 (1990), Second Law Report 381, etc.). Can anybody guide me whether there has to be a properly executed agreement and registration also by paying stamp duty and registration fee? if so, how much.
