1. Academic query.
2. Consult a local lawyer.

yes and hence no reply.

There is absolutely no difference between the two. You can use any of the terms.

But remember, it is not the nomenclature (title) which you give to the document matters much, it is the substance of the agreement.

(For example, simply by naming it as Lease Agreement or Lease Deed, while the real substance of the agreement relates to conveyance/sale, the document will not become a lease deed/lease agreement.)

If it is a lease for only 11 months then it does not require registration.
