Rent Agreement 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. Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957 (Article 30) for stamp duty; Registration Act, 1908 (s.17(1)(d)) makes leases over one year compulsorily registrable, so an 11-month term stays optional. TPA, 1882 (ss.105–107). Digital e-stamps under the Karnataka Stamp (Digital e-Stamp) Rules, 2025. Tenancy under the Karnataka Rent Act, 1999.
How rent agreement works in Karnataka
- Negotiate and draft the agreement
- Calculate stamp duty on rent + deposit (capped)
- Purchase the e-stamp via SHCIL/ACC/bank; UIN issued
- Print the agreement with the e-stamp
- Both parties sign before two witnesses, who also sign
- Optionally notarise (not legally mandatory)
- Verify the e-stamp UIN and retain copies
Documents required in Karnataka
- Aadhaar + PAN of landlord and tenant
- Proof of ownership (sale deed / khata / property-tax receipt)
- Passport-size photographs
- Two witnesses (Aadhaar + photo)
- The e-stamp certificate of correct value
Good to know in Karnataka: The 11-month term deliberately stays outside compulsory registration. Since 1 July 2025 a valid digital e-stamp is mandatory; non-compliance can attract a ₹5,000 penalty (landlord liable). Auto-renewal pushing tenure over a year raises registration risk. Notarisation is not a substitute for e-stamping.

Rent Agreement FAQs
Is an 11-month agreement different from a registered one?
Agreements of 11 months are common because they often don't require registration. For longer durations, registration is usually mandatory — we'll advise based on your state and term.
Can the agreement be used as address proof?
A properly stamped and, where needed, registered rental agreement is widely accepted as address proof and for police verification.
Who usually pays for the agreement?
This varies by arrangement — sometimes the tenant, sometimes split. We simply prepare it correctly for whoever is arranging it.
