Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a tenant and paying a lease deposit for 28L for an apartment in Bangalore for 3 years Lease.
If I need to register lease deed as per Karnataka Stamps Act, have to pay stamp duty 1% and registration charges 0.5% which comes around 42,000 which is quite heavy for lease.
Question: If I make an Lease agreement for 1 year and renew year on year the stamp duty + Reg fee = Rs 700, Will this be valid? And please suggest if any alternative to reduce the stamp duty.
What is the consequeces of not registring in sub registar office, the lease deed. Is it safe?
