Quick Summary

In India, an 11-month rent agreement is generally considered valid and admissible in court, provided it's properly executed. Key requirements include using the correct stamp paper as per the state's Stamp Act and being signed by all parties involved. While notarisation is often recommended, it's not always mandatory. Registration is typically not required for agreements under 12 months, but paying the applicable stamp duty is essential for the document to be accepted as evidence, with provisions to pay back duty and penalties if initially omitted.

yes, Eleven month agreement valid. it should be on Rs. 10/- Non Judicial Stamp Paper. It is not require to be register with the Registry in term of Section 17 of the Registration Act. the agreement well recognized as LEAVE and LICENSE Agreement between the parties for hiring a portion of premises or premises for a short tenure.
Thanks

The lease for 11 months also should be registered on paying proper stamp duty. The Stamp duty from one State to another State varies. to my best, it may be up to 3% stamp duty for the amount of 11 months.

Stamp duty, as applicable in the State, has to be paid for rent agreement and notarised / registered for accepting in evidence.

Notarization not required.
Registration also not required in most of the stated in India.
Stamp duty required.
it is different in different states.
If no stamp duty paid or less duty paid, you can file document before court after paying balance stamp duty and penalty.
