There’s no special legal registration for sanyas, but a person can execute a declaration affidavit before a notary or magistrate, stating they’ve renounced worldly life. This can help in matters like property rights or bank accounts. Consult a lawyer to prepare a proper legal declaration and notify government bodies if needed.
