Security Deposit in Bhopal
Bhopal deposits are usually 1 to 2 months' rent, but a common local ask is 2 to 3 months of advance rent on top — so clarify the total upfront. For an agreement up to 11 months the stamp is a flat ₹500. Record the deposit, any advance rent, the return timeline and deductions in writing.
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.
