The Provisional Registration Certificate is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issue. As soon as the unit commences commercial production, the provisional registration certificate loses its validity.

Transfer of property act says that any transfer of right on a immovable property is having more value than Rs.100/-, it has to be registered. This is called lease deed. If it only an agreement to lease for a period less than twelve months, based on Contract Act, it need not be registered. Notorisation is not necessary but we do so, to prove it being executed for evidence purpose.
Amit Pateria (Advocate & Consultant (Law) Supreme Court of India New Delhi) 21 February 2011
Dear Ms. Shukla,
The validity and legality of an Agreement of Rent depends entirely on the nature of the property being rented i.e. movable or immovable. For example if a movable property - like a car - is being rented then it is not important to have the agreement of rent made on a judicial stamp paper however is any immovable property is being rented then it is mandatory to use the judicial stamp paper for the preparation of a Lease Deed.
A lease, defined under Section 105 of The Transfer of Property Act, 1882, is a transfer of the right to enjoy the concerned property for a pre-defined time period or in perpetuity.
There are various implications of entering into a lease agreement. Here is a list of implications for you:
where the lease purports to be for a term not exceeding one year in case of residential property the Stamp Duty would be Fifty paise for every one hundred rupees or part thereof on the total amount or value of, the average annual rent, premium fine and money advanced. Subject to a maximum of rupees five hundred.

You should also check the Stamp duty prevailing in your state.

Dear amit ji,
my company is continuously entering into lease agreements in huge number. The lease deed is for more than 3 years or so, none of them are notarized and registered, also the they are executed on rs. 50/100 stamp paer.
Kindly confirm
1. do we need to get them notarized? If yes the relevant provision/ section
2. do we need to get it registered? If yes the relevant provision/ section
wh What are the consequences if we dont get it registered?
3. do we need to get them executed it on a higher stamp paper or pay stmp duty? as I read that, on agreement to lease and lease deed: Leases for more than one year attract a stamp duty of 5% on the average annual rent and 14.5% on the deposit. This duty can be reduced by showing some of the amounts in a separate amenities agreement which need not be registered. Agreements to lease and lease deeds for less than one year also require the same stamp duty as above but as they do not require registration, they never get properly stamped.
Its urgent kindly confirm. Thanks in advance.
