Official process

Lease Deed in Delhi: the process in Delhi

Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Delhi follow Delhi's rules. Here's how it works.

Governing law. Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (s.105; s.107 requires a lease from year to year, exceeding one year, or reserving yearly rent to be by a registered instrument), the Indian Stamp Act for stamp duty, and the Registration Act, 1908. Administered by the Revenue Department, GNCTD, through the Sub-Registrar.

Where to applye-stamp via SHCIL (shcilestamp.com); registration via NGDRS Delhi (ngdrs.delhi.gov.in); older records on DORIS (doris.delhigovt.nic.in).
Government feesStamp duty commonly ~2% of average annual rent for leases up to five years and ~3% for five to ten years (higher for longer); registration charges ~₹1,100 plus copying fee. Stamp duty is payable by the lessee. Confirm against the current circle rate and Stamp Act schedule.
Typical timelineDrafting and stamping a few days; registration generally completed on the appointment day after booking — overall a few days to a couple of weeks.
Local offices in Delhi: Sub-Registrar — Sub-Registrar offices, Revenue Department GNCTD (one or more per revenue district), via NGDRS Delhi. Family Court — Family Courts at Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Karkardooma, Rohini, Dwarka and Saket — by jurisdiction.

How lease deed works in Delhi

  1. Negotiate and finalise commercial terms (rent, term, escalation, lock-in, deposit)
  2. Draft the lease deed with full clauses
  3. Calculate and purchase the e-stamp of the appropriate value
  4. Both parties sign before two witnesses
  5. Book a registration appointment on NGDRS
  6. Lessor, lessee and witnesses appear before the Sub-Registrar for verification and biometrics
  7. Sub-Registrar registers the lease deed and returns the registered instrument

Documents required in Delhi

  • Identity and address proof of lessor and lessee (Aadhaar / PAN / passport; company documents if a firm)
  • Proof of ownership/title of the property
  • Passport-size photographs of the parties
  • e-stamp paper of the value computed on the lease consideration
  • Two witnesses with ID proofs
  • Authority documents (board resolution / POA) where a company or agent executes
  • Presence of parties at the Sub-Registrar for registration

Good to know in Delhi: Registration is compulsory for any lease of one year or more (s.107 TPA + Registration Act); an unregistered long lease is not admissible as evidence of its terms. Delhi has been revising circle rates — confirm the current rate before execution.

Questions

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.
