Gujarat levies 1% stamp duty on the total rent for the term plus the security deposit under the Gujarat Stamp Act. The security deposit is included in the duty base. Registration is optional for agreements under 12 months.
Reference example — ₹25,000/month, 11 months, ₹1,00,000 deposit: duty ≈ ₹3,750 (total ≈ ₹3,750).
A flat ₹300 under GJ Schedule I, Article 5. Gujarat applies a higher ₹300 minimum on general agreements. 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.
Indicatively 1% of total rent for the term plus the security deposit under the Gujarat Stamp Act. For ₹25,000/month over 11 months with a ₹1,00,000 deposit, that is about ₹3,750.
A flat ₹300 under Schedule I, Article 5 of the Gujarat Stamp Act — one of the highest general-agreement minimums in India, triple the ₹100 most states charge.
Yes — Gujarat includes the security deposit in the 1% duty base, like Karnataka and Maharashtra.
