Registration of agreement

P.C. Joshi (Querist) 05 November 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,

I have entered into a lease agreement with a party and got the lease registered. After some time, I and Lessor agree to amend the lease. Is there any statutory requirement to get the amendmant agrement registered or we can simply sign on Rs 100/- stamp paper.In Another scenario, if I discontinue the lease but on the same terms and conditions my brother is ready to take the place on the same lease I mean only the name of lessee is to be changed. In this case, can the change of name be done by an amendment or a fresh lease has to be entered.

Shall appreciate for prompt responses.

Thanks
