Please note any agreement you make above 11 months better get it registered .... Secondly agreement with firm should be compulsory made in name of firm represented by it's directors .....there's no problem of receiving payment in such manner till you file returns.....regarding renting out residential property for commercial if they have got licence till then there's no problem...

Hi,

Rs 1.80 is the limit for payment towords the rent for non TDs payment.

You may show in your income from. House property the actual amount.

In case the agreement is made in the name of firm and as the premise is being used commercially and society have no issue then you may go ahead and the municipal taxes will go as rented property.

You need to get the lease agreement registered to be safe for the lease period on payment of required stamp duty.

No, if the agreement is for 2 years then there must be a condition that whatever expenses from their side will extend the agreement for 10 years only then they can say this otherwise you have all right to vacate the same.

And no issue in transfer of 1K.

But, you need to take care as it is for commercial purpose.

1. You have to keep an account of the agreed amount of monthly rental payment, so if this 1k is not brought into account, then you may enter the monthly rental amount as 15 k alone.

2. Whether they are into the real estate or anything, your rental agreement should contain the conditions in general that are mutually agreed between both and is binding on both the parties.

3. Since this is a residential property, you cannot rent it out to a commercial firm for commercial activities.

Hence it would be better that the firm name be avoided in the rental agreement.

1 small update: They have invested around 10 lacs of rupee for making interior design and furniture in the flat.so considering business ethics , we should allow them for 10 years for rental purpose.

It is not mandatory that you have to allow them to be there for another 10 years and also you make a lease agreement for three years with lock in period for 3 to 6 years and the lease agreement to be renewed once in three years.

This will be more safe for your situation.

As far as possible take all monies vide account payee cheque. Don't evade any tax. If you are making agreement brake services of a good lawyer and register it compulsorily. There is no harm making agreement in that way. Buy as per law residence Property cant be used for commercial purposes as commercial taxes and everything varies from residence premises. Both company and partner name can also be inserted in agreement.
