What to bring
Papers to bring
- The owner's identity proof, and proof of ownership or of the right to let, such as the sale deed, the property-tax receipt or an electricity bill
- The lessee's identity proof and PAN card; for a firm or company, its registration and the authority of the person signing
- Proof of the security deposit paid, such as the bank transfer record, and the meter readings on the first day
- Two passport-size photographs of each party (the office also takes a photograph and thumb impression)
- Two witnesses with photo identity proof, who sign the deed and identify the parties
Where to go
Signed by both before two witnesses and registered at the Sub-Registrar's office where the premises lie; the lessor and the lessee (or their attorneys) appear in person with identity proof, on a slot booked through the state's online registration appointment where it is offered.
Fee
Stamp duty follows the state's schedule for leases, on the average yearly rent, the deposit and any premium, depending on the term; the registration fee is extra. Ask the Sub-Registrar's office for today's amounts.
Good to know
- Present the deed for registration within four months of signing; later, only for a good reason, within four more months and on a fine.
- Have the lessee verified by the police where the district's orders require it, and keep the receipt.
- Rent for a shop or other commercial premises can attract GST when the owner is registered for GST; ask a chartered accountant.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
