How Rajasthan computes it

Rent & lease agreements

Rajasthan levies 1% stamp duty on the total rent for the term plus the security deposit under the Rajasthan Stamp Act, 1998. 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).

NDAs & general agreements

A flat ₹500 under RJ Schedule, Article 5. This covers NDAs, service agreements, and most contracts without their own schedule entry.

Why it matters

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.
