Stamp Duty in Ghaziabad
Formula: 2% of the total rent for the full term plus the deposit/advance, with a minimum of ₹100 and a maximum of ₹10,000 (UP Stamp Act, Schedule I-B, Article 35)
Under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972
Example: UP stamp duty is 2% of (total rent for the full term + deposit), with a ₹100 minimum and a ₹10,000 maximum. Example for Ghaziabad: ₹18,000/mo over 11 months + ₹36,000 deposit = ₹2.34L base → ₹4,680. Pay via SHCIL e-stamp; register on IGRSUP only for leases over 12 months
Security Deposit in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad deposits tend to be a modest 1 to 2 months' rent — lower than neighbouring Noida, helped by a larger stock of builder floors and independent houses. Uttar Pradesh has no statutory cap; the Model Tenancy Act recommends two months. Record the deposit, return timeline and deduction terms 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.
