Uttar Pradesh Revises Stamp Duty and Registration Fees for Rent Agreements
The Uttar Pradesh government has approved a revised stamp duty and registration fee structure for rent and lease agreements up to 10 years, aiming to reduce costs and encourage formal registrations. Charges vary by lease duration and average annual rent, with lower fees for longer agreements and rents up to Rs 10 lakh. For rents exceeding this, existing rates apply beyond the threshold. The changes target affordability for landlords and tenants, promoting legal tenancy contracts across the state.
