Stamp Duty in Navi Mumbai
Formula: 0.25% of (total rent for the term + 10% per annum interest on the refundable security deposit) — minimum ₹100
Under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999
Example: For ₹22,000/month rent, 11-month term, ₹66,000 deposit: 0.25% of total rent (₹2,42,000) plus interest on the deposit → Stamp duty = ₹620
Security Deposit in Navi Mumbai
Security deposits in Navi Mumbai vary sharply by node: Vashi and Nerul typically run 3-5 months for a decent apartment, premium Seawoods towers ask 4-6 months, while newer areas like Ulwe and Taloja stay closer to 2-3 months. Maharashtra has no statutory deposit cap; the Model Tenancy Act (2021) only recommends about 2 months, so most of these asks are negotiable. As across Maharashtra, only about 10% annual interest on the deposit is added to the stamp-duty base — not the full deposit — so a larger deposit barely moves the duty. Always record the deposit amount, return timeline, and deduction conditions in your agreement.
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.
