Answer a few short steps and get a complete, notary-ready agreement for India.
Step 1 of 6 · Type & basics
Informational only — not legal advice. The generated document must be printed on stamp paper, signed and notarised (and registered where required) to be enforceable.
This builder creates a complete, notary-ready rental agreement for India — residential or commercial — with the full clause set real agreements use: party details, the property schedule, rent and deposit terms, notice period, permitted use, witnesses and jurisdiction guidance. You answer a few guided questions and download a document ready to print on stamp paper.
An online draft isn’t a registered instrument by itself. To make it enforceable you print it on the applicable non-judicial stamp paper, have both parties and two witnesses sign, and get it notarised. Agreements of 12 months or more usually require registration, which is why the 11-month leave & license format is so common — see our guide on the 11-month rent agreement format.
If monthly rent exceeds ₹50,000, the tenant deducts TDS under Section 194-IB at 2% (reduced from 5% with effect from 1 October 2024) and files Form 26QC. Capture both parties’ PAN in the agreement.
A lease of 12 months or more generally requires compulsory registration at the Sub-Registrar Office, which adds stamp duty and registration fees. An 11-month leave & license agreement is the common way to avoid mandatory registration while staying legally usable. Always verify current requirements with your local Sub-Registrar.
Printing the agreement on the applicable non-judicial stamp paper, signing it before two witnesses, and having it notarised makes it a valid document for most everyday purposes (address proof, deposit disputes, etc.). Registration is a separate step that is compulsory for longer terms. This tool produces a notary-ready draft; it is not itself a registered or stamped instrument.
Stamp duty varies by state and rent/deposit value. For an 11-month leave & license in Tamil Nadu, ₹100 non-judicial stamp paper is commonly used; other states differ. The builder shows stamp-paper and registration guidance for your case, but confirm the current value with your Sub-Registrar.
If monthly rent exceeds ₹50,000, the tenant must deduct TDS under Section 194-IB at 2% (reduced from 5% with effect from 1 October 2024) and deposit it using Form 26QC. Capture both the landlord’s and tenant’s PAN. This is informational, not tax advice.
Yes. The builder supports both residential and commercial tenancies, adjusting the clauses (permitted use, business name, etc.) accordingly, along with schedule, witnesses and jurisdiction guidance.
