Stamp Duty · Telangana
Hyderabad sits among the lower-cost big tech cities for stamping a tenancy. The deposit still counts toward the base, so HITEC City agreements with large deposits owe more than tenants assume.

Agreements not otherwise provided for
Pre-set for Telangana's schedule. Enter your rent, term, and deposit for an indicative duty — the same engine the Dharaa app uses.
Your estimate will appear here.
Estimates are indicative and based on published state schedules — verify against your State Stamp Schedule or SHCIL before purchase. Not legal or tax advice.
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.
Telangana 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.
Work out the duty for your document — the calculator above gives an indicative figure.
Telangana is not on SHCIL e-stamping, so use the state's own route.
Confirm with the sub-registrar or an authorised vendor which article applies and what the duty is.
Pay and collect the certificate, receipt, or stamp paper.
Execute the agreement on or with the stamp before signing.
Dharaa drafts it and tracks the stamping
In-app stamp purchase is not live in Telangana yet. Dharaa still drafts the agreement, tells you the indicative duty and the article, and records your certificate against the document once you have it — so nothing is lost when it does go live.
Draft your Telangana agreement freeThe two states use different schedules, so the same tenancy is priced differently in each. Run your own rent, term and deposit through the calculator on each state’s page to compare — the figures move when either schedule changes.
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 Telangana. An NDA carries no monetary consideration, so it attracts the flat agreement duty rather than an ad-valorem rate.
