Lease term

months — pick a preset or type any duration up to 120

Why 11 months is the standard in India: under the Registration Act § 17, leases of 12 months or more must be registered at the sub-registrar’s office — a half-day visit and a registration fee on top of stamp duty. An 11-month lease skips that step. It does not skip stamp duty, and in Tamil Nadu it does not skip registration with the Rent Authority, which applies to every tenancy however short (90 days, free). We auto-renew the lease when the term ends.

Calculating…

Under the hood

How each state calculates it

Tamil Nadu is exact. The others are approximations — confirm with your sub-registrar before paying. We buy the government e-stamp certificate for you and pass the duty through at cost.

Karnataka

0.5% of total rent + deposit × 10% considered as advance (capped)

Delhi

2% of average annual rent

Tamil Nadu

1% of total rent + advance + security deposit (refundable or not). No cap, and no lower rate for short leases — Article 35(a).

Telangana

0.5% of total rent for < 10 years

Tamil Nadu is exact — Article 35(a) of the Indian Stamp Act as amended for TN. Other states are estimates; confirm with your sub-registrar before paying. The duty goes to the state government at cost; we add nothing to it.

Ready to draft that lease?

We’ll pre-fill the stamp duty at the statutory rate and buy the government e-stamp certificate for you — the duty at cost, nothing added.
