Flat ₹675 service fee plus stamp duty at actuals.
What stamp duty applies to a Bangalore rent agreement?
Karnataka stamp duty on a rental agreement is 0.5% of the annual rent plus deposit, capped at ₹500 for agreements up to 11 months, under Article 30(1)(i) of the Karnataka Stamp Act. You pay the duty at actuals — it goes into a government e-stamp certificate issued through SHCIL, with its own unique certificate number that anyone can verify on the government portal. We show you the exact duty before you pay, and we never mark it up.
Do I need to register it at the Sub-Registrar's office?
For an 11-month agreement on e-stamp paper, registration at the Sub-Registrar's office is not required in Karnataka — which is exactly why most Bangalore rent agreements are made for 11 months. Leases of 12 months or more must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908, and that is a separate process no online signature replaces. We tell you upfront which one your agreement needs. The full legal basis is in our legality explainer.
Landlord in one city, tenant in another? That's the point.
The most common Bangalore situation: the flat is in Bangalore, the owner is in Mumbai, Dubai or the US, and the tenant is relocating from another city. With DigitalPatra, both parties review and approve the draft online, then each signs from their own phone with an OTP to their Aadhaar-linked mobile — identity verified against the Aadhaar database, with a full audit trail in the PDF. Nobody travels, nobody couriers originals, and the finished agreement is court-ready evidence. Want to see what the finished document looks like? Browse our sample documents.
We prepare agreements for properties across Bangalore — Whitefield, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Electronic City, Marathahalli, Sarjapur Road and every other locality — because the whole process happens online.
Bangalore rental agreement FAQs
Is an online rental agreement legally valid in Bangalore?
Yes. An agreement executed on a government e-stamp for the correct Karnataka stamp duty and signed by both parties via Aadhaar eSign is a validly stamped, validly signed contract. Electronic signatures are recognised under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and secure electronic records carry statutory presumptions under Indian evidence law — it is court-ready evidence, and the e-stamp certificate number can be verified independently on the government (SHCIL) e-stamping portal.
Does my Bangalore rent agreement need to be registered at the Sub-Registrar's office?
An agreement for a term of up to 11 months on e-stamp paper does not require registration at the Sub-Registrar's office in Karnataka — that is why the 11-month agreement is the convention. Leases of 12 months or more must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908, and no online signature replaces that separate process. We tell you upfront which category your agreement falls in.
How does Aadhaar eSign work if the landlord and tenant are in different cities?
Each party signs from their own phone: a one-time password goes to each signer's Aadhaar-linked mobile number, their identity is verified against the Aadhaar database, and the signature is applied with a full audit trail. Landlord in Bangalore and tenant in Delhi — or one party outside India — both sign without anyone travelling, as long as the property and agreement fall under Karnataka jurisdiction.
How much stamp duty do I pay on a Bangalore rental agreement?
Karnataka stamp duty on a rent agreement is 0.5% of the annual rent plus deposit, capped at ₹500 for agreements up to 11 months, under Article 30(1)(i) of the Karnataka Stamp Act. You pay it at actuals — the duty goes into the government e-stamp with its own certificate number, and we never mark it up. Our service fee is a flat ₹675 on top.
