Frequently asked questions.

Is this rent agreement legally valid in India?

Yes. The draft follows the structure required under the Indian Contract Act, the Registration Act 1908 and applicable state Rent / Leave-and-Licence laws. For terms of 12 months or more, registration with the sub-registrar is mandatory under Section 17. For under-12-month terms, notarised execution on e-Stamp paper is generally sufficient. Always execute on e-Stamp paper of the correct denomination for your state.

Which Indian states are supported?

All 21 major states. 14 use verified duty formulas (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, UP, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, WB, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Kerala, AP, MP, Punjab). The remaining 7 (Odisha, Bihar, HP, Goa, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Assam) show a clearly-marked estimate for planning purposes — verify the exact duty with your registrar or e-Stamp vendor.

How is stamp duty calculated?

State-by-state formula from the applicable Stamp Act — usually a percentage of the higher of (average annual rent + 10% of deposit) or fair market value. You can also enter the exact duty from your e-Stamp certificate to override the estimate. The registration fee is shown separately.

What clauses are included?

Security deposit, monthly rent + escalation, maintenance split, lock-in, notice period, utilities, subletting bar, alterations, damages, termination, indemnity, force majeure, jurisdiction. Optional smart clauses auto-enable: TDS 194-IB (rent ≥ ₹50,000/mo), GST reverse-charge (commercial lease under CGST 9(3)), late-payment interest and Section 138 NI Act for cheque bounce.

Is my personal data safe?

Yes. The entire app is a single HTML page that runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Your draft autosaves to your browser's localStorage only. Aadhaar numbers are masked to the last 4 digits before storage — even a local database dump wouldn't expose the full number. This design is compliant with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Drafting, preview, editing, printing and Save-as-PDF are all free, with no signup and no watermark. Draft as many agreements as you need and re-print them as often as you like.

Do I still need to go to the sub-registrar?

For terms of 12 months or more — yes, registration is mandatory (Registration Act 1908, Section 17). For under-12-month terms, notarisation on e-Stamp paper is usually enough, but check your state's practice — Maharashtra, for instance, prefers registered Leave-and-Licence for any term.

Can I use this for a commercial lease?

Yes. Pick "Commercial lease" as the variant and the app switches vocabulary (Lessor/Lessee → Landlord/Tenant, adds business-purpose language) and auto-enables the GST reverse-charge clause under CGST Section 9(3) where applicable.
