An 11-month residential rent agreement in Gurugram needs ₹101 e-stamp paper. This is the rate eDrafter applies on every Haryana rent agreement order we process. Agreements longer than 11 months fall under different rules and must also be registered.
Haryana stamp duty on rent agreements at a glance
| Lease period | Stamp duty | Registration |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 11 months (residential) | ₹101 e-stamp | Not compulsory |
| 1 to 5 years | 1.5% of average annual rent | Compulsory |
| 5 to 10 years | 3% of average annual rent | Compulsory |
| Above 10 years | Higher rate, charged like a conveyance | Compulsory |
The ₹101 figure doesn’t change with your rent. Whether you pay ₹15,000 or ₹60,000 a month, an 11-month residential agreement in Gurugram needs the same ₹101 e-stamp.
Two worked examples
Example 1 — 11-month flat in Sector 56
Rent ₹25,000 a month, deposit ₹50,000, 11-month agreement. Stamp duty: ₹101 e-stamp Registration: not compulsory for 11 months Optional notarisation: extra
Example 2 — 3-year lease near Golf Course Road
Rent ₹40,000 a month, 3-year lease. Stamp duty: 1.5% × ₹4,80,000 = ₹7,200 Registration fee: Both parties must appear before the Sub-Registrar (or as the Haryana online process allows), with two witnesses.
Do you need to register a Gurugram rent agreement?
Under the Registration Act, 1908 (section 17(1)(d)), a lease for more than one year must be registered. That’s why most Gurugram tenants and landlords use an 11-month agreement: it needs proper stamp duty but no registration.
If you sign for a year or longer, the agreement must be registered at the Sub-Registrar office that covers the property. Gurugram district has several tehsil/sub-tehsil offices, including Gurugram, Badshahpur, Wazirabad, Harsaru, Kadipur, Manesar, Sohna, Farrukhnagar and Pataudi. Registration appointments and details are handled through the Haryana revenue portal (jamabandi.nic.in).
Notarised vs registered: a notarised 11-month agreement is common and widely accepted by societies, employers and banks, but notarisation is not a substitute for registration when registration is compulsory.
Which stamp paper should you use in Gurugram?
Haryana uses e-stamp paper for non-judicial stamp duty. Each e-stamp certificate carries a unique number you can verify online, which makes forgery far harder than with old physical paper.
Three things to get right:
- Correct value — ₹101 for an 11-month residential agreement; calculated on rent and term for longer leases
- Correct parties — first party and second party names should match the agreement
- Correct purpose — the article description should say lease/rent agreement
eDrafter calculates the correct denomination for your tenancy, buys the e-stamp certificate in Haryana, and prints your agreement on it — so you don’t have to visit a vendor or wait at a court complex counter.
Make your Gurugram rent agreement in minutes with eDrafter’s Rent Agreement AI
No long forms, no back-and-forth emails. eDrafter’s Rent Agreement AI drafts a complete, professional agreement from whatever you already have — and the stamp value for Haryana is set automatically.
Step 1: Create with AI, or upload your draft
Open the Rent Agreement AI and pick how you want to start:
- Create with AI — choose Haryana, add the owner’s name, tenant’s name and the Gurugram property address. Fill what you know; the AI drafts the rest — rent, deposit, notice and dispute clauses.
- Upload — have an old agreement? Drop a PDF, Word file or even a phone photo of a printed copy. The AI reads it, detects the state, stamp article and parties, and formats it into clean A4 pages. Perfect for renewing last year’s agreement with new dates and rent.
- Type — prefer to write it yourself? Type or paste your draft.
Step 2: Preview & edit your agreement
See your agreement in a live A4 preview and edit details or the document text directly. The stamp paper denomination is set automatically for Haryana (₹101 for an 11-month residential agreement). Then add what you need:
- Digital signature — Aadhaar-based or phone OTP-based ; a second signatory adds
- Scan service — quick scan within 2 hours or standard scan by 6 PM the same day for orders placed before 4:00 PM — handy when HR needs a copy for HRA the same day
Step 3: Pay & deliver
Pay securely by UPI, card or net-banking via Razorpay. You’ll get an order confirmation by email and can track everything under My Orders.
Agreement longer than 11 months? After delivery, both parties will need to register it at the Gurugram Sub-Registrar office (see above).

Gurugram-specific tips
- Corporate tenants: many Gurugram employers (Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, Golf Course Road offices) ask for a stamped agreement for HRA. Make sure rent on the agreement matches your bank transfers.
- Gated societies: RWAs often ask for a copy of the stamped agreement and tenant police verification before move-in.
- Maintenance charges: say clearly who pays society maintenance — it’s the most common dispute we see in Gurugram agreements.
- Deposit disputes: if a landlord holds back the deposit after you leave, a legal notice usually moves things faster than repeated calls. Zapp by eDrafter sends one from ₹299.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is ₹100 stamp paper enough for a rent agreement in Gurugram?
No. An 11-month residential agreement in Gurugram needs ₹101 e-stamp paper. ₹100 denomination is not available in Haryana.
Who pays the stamp duty — landlord or tenant?
The law doesn’t fix it; it’s whatever both agree. In Gurugram the tenant usually pays.
Can I make a Gurugram rent agreement fully online?
You can draft it, buy the e-stamp and receive it online. Signatures are still physical on the printed stamp paper, and registration (if needed) involves the Sub-Registrar.
Is an 11-month agreement valid without registration?
Yes, if it is properly stamped and signed. Registration is compulsory only for leases of more than one year.
What happens if the agreement is under-stamped?
It can’t be relied on as evidence until the deficit duty and penalty are paid. Fix it before a dispute, not during one.
Is a Delhi stamp paper valid for a Gurugram flat?
No. Stamp duty is paid to the state where the property is located — for a Gurugram property, that’s Haryana.
How do I verify my Haryana e-stamp certificate?
Use the certificate number on the official e-stamp verification facility.
