Lease Deed for Bengaluru residents

We serve clients right across Bengaluru and nearby areas such as Whitefield, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Electronic City, and Jayanagar. Your dedicated advocate manages the paperwork, appointments and follow-ups, so you avoid the queues and get your lease deed sorted without taking time off work.
Lease Deed in Bengaluru: the process in Karnataka
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Bengaluru follow Karnataka's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. TPA, 1882 (s.107 requires a lease year-to-year or over one year by registered instrument); Registration Act, 1908 (s.17(1)(d) compulsory registration; s.49 makes an unregistered such lease inadmissible); Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957 (Article 30); Digital e-Stamp Rules, 2025 and the Kaveri framework; Karnataka Rent Act, 1999.
How lease deed works in Karnataka
- Draft and finalise the lease deed
- Calculate stamp duty under Article 30 (Kaveri calculator)
- Pay stamp duty / obtain the e-stamp (SHCIL or Kaveri challan)
- Pay the registration fee and generate the challan
- Book an appointment on Kaveri with the jurisdictional SRO
- Print the deed on the e-stamp; both parties and two witnesses attend the SRO
- Biometric capture, photographs and signing before the Sub-Registrar
- Document registered; collect the registered deed (and EC), usually within 1–3 working days
Documents required in Karnataka
- Aadhaar + PAN of all parties and witnesses
- Passport photos of parties and witnesses
- Proof of title (sale deed, khata, property-tax receipt, EC recommended)
- Draft lease deed printed with the e-stamp of correct value
- Power of Attorney (if a party is represented)
- For companies: board resolution/authorisation, GST/incorporation documents
Good to know in Karnataka: Registration is mandatory for leases of 12 months or more (or reserving yearly rent); notarisation is NOT sufficient and an unregistered long lease is inadmissible (s.49). Both parties must attend with biometrics. For 30+ year/perpetual leases, duty jumps to conveyance rates. Use the Kaveri calculator for exact figures.

Lease Deed FAQs
How is a lease deed different from a rental agreement?
A lease deed is used for longer terms and commercial properties, with more detailed clauses on lock-in, escalation and exit. Long-term leases generally require mandatory registration.
Is registration mandatory for a lease?
Leases beyond a certain duration (commonly 12 months and above) must be registered to be fully enforceable. We handle stamp duty and registration for you.
Can you draft leases for shops and offices?
Yes. We draft commercial leases for shops, offices, warehouses and other premises, with clauses suited to business use.
