Stamp duty is one percent of the rent or advance, whichever is higher.

Thanks Mr Ramesh.
When you say 1% of the rental for 3 years or six years or only one year.
The lease is for 3 years and we are putting option class for further renewal of 3 years.

When we approached the sub registrar in Karaikudi he calculated at the rate of 4% and asking us to pay one lakh seventeen thousand !!!.

Apart from stamp duty is there any other levies / fees applicable ?

Request your clarification.

Thanks

The rate of 4% is applicable only in case, where period of lease is thirty years and above and up to ninety-nine years.

Refer Article 35, Schedule-I of Indian Stamp Act.
