A commercial lease is charged at twice the residential rate. The refundable deposit is not dutiable — keep money refundable rather than labelling it premium or advance, which attracts duty at conveyance rate.
Reference example — ₹25,000/month, 11 months, ₹1,00,000 deposit: duty ≈ ₹1,100.
A flat ₹100. This covers NDAs, service agreements, and most contracts without their own schedule entry.
An under-stamped agreement is inadmissible as evidence (Section 35, Indian Stamp Act, 1899) and can be impounded, with a penalty of up to 10× the deficit under Section 40. Stamping correctly at execution costs a fraction of fixing it during a dispute.
Andhra Pradesh is not on SHCIL e-Stamping. SHCIL covers only 19 of India’s 36 states and union territories — most guides get this wrong. Here is the route that actually works.

For the reference tenancy this page uses — ₹25,000 a month over 11 months with a ₹1,00,000 deposit — stamp duty comes to ₹1,100. Your own rent, term and deposit will give a different figure — the calculator on this page runs the same engine the Dharaa app uses, so it moves when the state schedule does. A commercial lease is charged at twice the residential rate. The refundable deposit is not dutiable — keep money refundable rather than labelling it premium or advance, which attracts duty at conveyance rate.
₹100 in Andhra Pradesh. An NDA carries no monetary consideration, so it attracts the flat agreement duty rather than an ad-valorem rate.
