Worked Examples: Stamp Duty Calculation Step by Step

Example 1 — Flat in Pune (Municipal Corporation), ₹15,000 rent, 11 months, ₹50,000 deposit:

  • Total rent = ₹15,000 × 11 = ₹1,65,000
  • Deposit interest = 10% p.a. on ₹50,000 for 11 months ≈ ₹4,583
  • Agreement value = ₹1,69,583
  • Stamp duty at 0.25% ≈ ₹424 + registration fee ₹1,000 + DHC ₹300 = ₹1,724 total government charges

Example 2 — Flat in a city area, ₹25,000 rent, 11 months, ₹1,00,000 deposit:

  • Total rent = ₹2,75,000; deposit interest ≈ ₹9,167; agreement value ≈ ₹2,84,167
  • Stamp duty at 0.25% ≈ ₹710 + registration fee ₹1,000 + DHC ₹300 = ₹2,010 total government charges

Example 3 — House in a Gram Panchayat area, ₹8,000 rent, 11 months, ₹20,000 deposit:

  • Total rent = ₹88,000; deposit interest ≈ ₹1,833; agreement value ≈ ₹89,833
  • Stamp duty at 1% ≈ ₹898 + registration fee ₹500 + DHC ₹300 = ₹1,698 total government charges

Same Rates as IGR Maharashtra — Without the Complicated Form

Stamp duty on leave and license agreements is set by the Department of Registration and Stamps, Government of Maharashtra (IGR Maharashtra). This calculator applies exactly those official rates — 0.25% for Municipal Corporation areas, 0.50% for Municipal Council areas, and 1% for Gram Panchayat areas — so the stamp duty figure matches what the government e-registration portal charges. You just don't have to navigate the government website to get it.

Common questions about stamp duty calculation

How is stamp duty calculated for rent agreements in Maharashtra?
Stamp duty is calculated as a percentage of the total agreement value. The agreement value = Total Rent (monthly rent x duration) + Interest on deposit (10% per annum on refundable deposit). The stamp duty rate varies: 0.25% for Municipal Corporation areas, 0.50% for Municipal Council areas, and 1% for Gram Panchayat areas. Minimum stamp duty is Rs 100.
Is this the same as a leave and licence stamp duty calculator?
Yes. In Maharashtra, a rent agreement is legally executed as a Leave and License agreement, so the stamp duty calculation is identical. This calculator works for leave and licence agreements, 11-month rent agreements, and room or shop rental agreements anywhere in Maharashtra.
What is the stamp duty for a Rs 15,000 rent, 11-month agreement?
For monthly rent of Rs 15,000, an 11-month duration, and a Rs 50,000 deposit in a Municipal Corporation area like Pune: total rent is Rs 1,65,000, deposit interest is about Rs 4,583, so the agreement value is about Rs 1,69,583. Stamp duty at 0.25% comes to about Rs 424, plus Rs 1,000 registration fee. Use the calculator above to get exact figures for your own rent and deposit.
What is the registration fee for rent agreements?
The registration fee is Rs 1,000 for properties in Municipal Corporation areas (like Pune and Nashik city) and Rs 500 for Municipal Council and Gram Panchayat areas. This is a fixed fee charged by the government. A Document Handling Charge (DHC) of Rs 300 also applies for e-registration.
Is stamp duty different for 11-month and 12-month agreements?
The stamp duty rate is the same for both durations. However, agreements exceeding 12 months attract additional registration requirements under the Indian Registration Act, potentially increasing overall costs. Most tenants opt for 11-month agreements.
Does this calculator use official IGR Maharashtra rates?
Yes. The rates used here (0.25% / 0.50% / 1% of agreement value, plus the fixed registration fee) are the official rates prescribed by the Department of Registration and Stamps (IGR Maharashtra) for leave and license agreements. You get the same stamp duty figure as the government portal, with a much simpler form.
Are these calculations accurate for 2026?
Yes, our calculator uses the latest Maharashtra government stamp duty rates as of 2026. However, rates may change with new government notifications. For the most accurate quote, contact our team on WhatsApp.
