How rent agreement stamp duty works in West Bengal

11 months: Almost all residential leave & licence agreements in WB are kept to 11 months to avoid mandatory registration under the Registration Act. They are executed on ₹100 e-Stamp paper (sometimes ₹10 + ₹100) and notarized. Cost is typically ₹100 stamp + ₹200–₹500 notary/printing. No 1% registration fee.

12 months and above (registered lease): Must be registered at the sub-registrar. Stamp duty is then charged like a conveyance on the average annual rent + 10% annual interest on refundable deposit. Slab = 6% urban / 5% rural up to ₹1 Cr consideration per year, 7%/6% above ₹1 Cr + 1% registration on the same consideration. This calculator uses that notified WB method for estimates.

Example – 11-month vs 2-year in Kolkata

  • ₹15k × 11M + ₹30k deposit (Urban): Stamp ₹100 + Notary ~₹300 → Total ~₹400 (no registration).
  • ₹25k × 24M, ₹50k deposit, Urban, registered: Consideration ≈ Annual rent ₹3,00,000 + 10% of ₹50k = ₹3,05,000 → Stamp 6% = ₹18,300 + Registration 1% = ₹3,050 → Total ≈ ₹21,350.

What to submit at GRIPS / e-Stamp

  1. Buy e-Stamp via GRIPS → e-Stamp or authorized vendor; select Article 35 (Lease).
  2. Print agreement with schedule of property, rent escalation, and deposit refund clause.
  3. For registered lease: book slot on igr.wb.gov.in, carry deed + ID proofs + GRN receipt; biometric at SRO.

Do I need to register an 11-month agreement?

No – notarization is sufficient. Registration becomes compulsory at 12 months or more.

Is the ₹100 stamp valid statewide?

Yes for unregistered 11-month leave & licence across WB. Some deed writers use ₹100 + ₹10 for affidavit – the calculator shows the core ₹100 e-Stamp component.

What if I increase rent or deposit?

Only a registered lease calculation is affected (it raises annual consideration). The 11-month flat stamp stays the same – update the form to see the registered estimate.
