Rent Agreement on E-Stamp Paper: Process, Stamp Duty & Notary

Rent Agreement E Stamp Paper – SK Document Centre

Short answer: A rent agreement is printed on e-stamp paper of the value set by state law, signed by the owner, tenant and two witnesses, and then notarised. Most residential agreements are made for 11 months so they don’t need registration. Leases longer than that generally have to be registered at the sub-registrar’s office.

If you searched for a rent agreement near me or a rental agreement, here is what goes into one and how to get it done in a single visit.

What a rent agreement should include

Maintenance, electricity and water charges
Notice period for either side

Stamp duty on a rent agreement

Stamp duty is set by the state where the property is. It is usually calculated from the rent, deposit and term. In Delhi it is paid through e-stamp paper. For a property in Noida or Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh’s rules and stamps apply, so tell us the property location before we generate the stamp.
