Draft — ask the sub-registrar or a lawyer about registration and stamp duty.

Before you sign

Write the shop, the business, the rent, deposit, period, lock-in and notice clearly — and keep a copy each. Whether the agreement must be registered, the stamp duty, and any GST or other tax on commercial rent depend on the State, the period and your business: ask the sub-registrar's office, a lawyer or your CA. Licences for the business (shop and establishment, food, trade) are the tenant's own applications.

Stamp paper and signing

Whether this needs stamp paper, and of what value, depends on your State and on the document — ask the stamp vendor, a notary or a lawyer. Tick "Printing on stamp paper?" to leave the space at the top of page 1. This is a draft in plain words: for a large amount or anything you may have to rely on in court, have a lawyer read it first.

Kaise use karein

  1. Malik aur kirayedar ki details bharein.
  2. Dukaan, kiraya, security aur samay likhein.
  3. Stamp paper par print karke dono aur do gawah sign karein.

Dhyan dein

Registration aur stamp duty ke liye sub-registrar ya vakil se poochhein.

Questions people ask

What should a shop rent agreement contain?
Owner and tenant, the shop and what business it is for, rent and due date, security deposit, period, any lock-in and increase on renewal, notice to leave, bills, repairs, no sub-letting, and two witnesses.
Is it different from a house rent agreement?
Yes — it says what business the shop is for, who gets licences, lock-in and increase on renewal. For a house, use the Rent Agreement tool.
Does it have to be registered?
That depends on the State and the period — ask the sub-registrar's office or a lawyer before signing.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The agreement is made in your browser and the PDF is created on your device.
