When you need it

A company or LLP leasing a residence for an employee, not making the employee sole tenant, must separate three roles: the owner, the company liable for rent, and the replaceable employee. A term over one year is compulsorily registrable under s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

3-year lease: Article 35, Sch I-A, Stamp Act 1899 — Punjab 3.25% of avg. annual rent (fixed rent, no premium, <20 yrs); Chandigarh 5% of consideration. Stamp before/at execution, whoever bears cost.

Registration

Compulsory — term exceeds a year, so s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 applies. Present within 4 months (s.23); s.25 allows 4 more months late, with a fine. Unregistered, it can't serve as the lease itself.

Notarisation

Not a substitute for registering this lease; unnecessary once executed and registered.

Witnesses

Two witnesses should attest — Chandigarh's procedure requires it; keep full witness details ready.
