Dear Mr. Kaushal,
As per the provisions Transfer of property act,1882 every transfer of immovable property needs to be registered and as per the Indian Stamps act you need to affix proper stamp duty.
Since the premises in question is a commercial property hence you must get the rent agreement/lease deed registered, in any case the stamp duty would be not more then a couple of hundred rupees.
