Stamp Duty in Belgaum
Formula: 0.5% of (average annual rent + security deposit), capped at ₹500
Under the Karnataka Rent Act, 1999 (Act 34 of 2001)
Example: For ₹12,000/month rent: 0.5% of (annual rent + deposit) exceeds ₹500, so the ₹500 cap applies → Stamp duty = ₹500
Security Deposit in Belgaum
Belgaum (Belagavi) deposits typically run 2 to 4 months' rent, gentler than the big metros. Karnataka has no strictly enforced cap, but the Model Tenancy Act recommends about 2 months. In Karnataka the deposit is included in the stamp-duty base, but the ₹500 cap means almost everyone pays just ₹500. Put the exact amount, return timeline and deduction terms in writing — this border-city market is informal and largely owner-managed.
Tenant tip: Always get the deposit amount, payment method, and return conditions written into your agreement. RentDraft includes a dedicated security deposit clause with return timeline and deduction rules.
