FAQ

Does this need stamp paper and registration?

Yes. Stamp duty depends on your state and the rent, deposit and term. Agreements for more than 11 months must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908.

Is GST payable on commercial rent?

Rent on commercial property is taxable at 18% when the landlord is registered under GST (turnover above the threshold). Add the GST line in the rent clause if it applies.

Does an agreement need to be on stamp paper or notarised?

It depends on the country and the type of agreement. Property, long leases and some loans need stamp duty, registration or a notary. Even where not required, signing in front of witnesses adds proof.

Can I change the clauses?

Yes. Delete what does not apply and add what you agreed. Both parties should initial every change before signing.

What if the other party does not sign?

Then there is no agreement. Get both signatures and keep a copy each.
