A.Dear client,
In general, sub-letting is not allowed. But if you have an agreement, please go through it for terms and conditions on sub-letting. If you do not have agreement, then sub-letting is not possible.
By virtue of Section 108(j) of Transfer of Property Act (contained in chapter V dealing with leases of immovable property), in the absence of a contract to the contrary tenant is at complete liberty to sublet the whole or part of the tenanted property.

A.Dear Client,
Usually, a tenant cannot sublet or sublease let-out premises to others without the consent of the owner of the property and if such a prohibitory clause appears in your rent agreement, then subleasing of said rented premises by your tenant is termed as a breach of contract which makes the subsequent agreement entered by your tenant with other invalid and unenforceable.

To know and tell whether its a valid agreement or no we will have to go through the complete agreement. If that arrangement is agreed for in the agreement then yes it is valid.
