What is a Leave and License Agreement?
A Leave and License Agreement is a legal arrangement allowing a property owner (licensor) to permit a tenant (licensee) to occupy their property for a fixed period without transferring ownership rights. These agreements are commonly used for renting both residential and commercial properties in India.
Why is Stamp Duty Important for Leave and License Agreements?
Stamp duty is a mandatory government tax required for legal validation of any rental agreement. Paying the appropriate stamp duty ensures:
- Legal Enforceability: The agreement becomes admissible in court.
- Avoidance of Penalties: Non-payment can lead to penalties or legal disputes.
- Protection for Both Parties: Ensures clarity and trust between licensors and licensees.
How is Stamp Duty for Leave and License Agreements Calculated?
Stamp duty for rental agreements is calculated based on:
Monthly Rent.
Advance Rent or Security Deposit.
Duration of the Agreement.
State-specific Stamp Duty Rate.
Formula:
Stamp Duty = (Monthly Rent + Advance Rent/Deposit) * Number of Months * Applicable Stamp Duty Rate
Example:
Monthly Rent: ₹20,000
Security Deposit: ₹50,000
Agreement Duration: 12 Months
Stamp Duty Rate (Maharashtra): 0.25%
Stamp Duty = ₹20,000 * 12 + ₹50,000 * 0.25% = ₹750
State-Specific Stamp Duty Rates (Examples):
Maharashtra: 0.25% of the total rent and deposit.
Delhi/NCR: Varies by location (consult local guidelines).
Karnataka: Rates depend on urban or rural property classification.
