Commercial licences drafted the way a business actually needs them

Shops, offices, godowns, clinics and salons. Commercial tenancies carry risks a residential template was never written for — lock-in, escalation, fit-out, exclusivity and exit. We write those clauses in.

Answer three things — we reply on WhatsApp.

Why commercial is different

A shop is not a bigger flat

The money at stake in a commercial licence is usually larger, the term is usually longer, and the tenant is usually spending real capital on fit-out before they open. Every one of those facts creates a clause a residential template does not have.

We have seen agreements where a tenant put four lakh into a shop interior with no protection against a six-month exit, and agreements where a landlord had no escalation clause across a five-year term. Both were avoidable in a paragraph.

Lock-in period — with what actually happens if either side breaks it
Annual escalation — the percentage, the date, and the base it applies to
Fit-out and reinstatement — who pays, and what state the premises return in
Permitted use — so the licence is not voided by a change of business
Signage, parking and common-area rights — usually the first thing argued about

Reviewing a commercial licence clause by clause

Watch the 60-month line. Commercial terms often run three to five years. The moment your term crosses sixty months the stamp duty rate doubles from 0.25% to 0.50%. Sometimes a 59-month term plus a renewal clause is the better structure — we will tell you when that is the case.

Questions on this service

Before you ask us

Yes, and it usually is. We need the certificate of incorporation, the company PAN, a board resolution or authority letter naming the person who will sign, and that person's own Aadhaar and PAN. They complete the biometric on the company's behalf.

Two things. Stamp duty stays at 0.25% right up to sixty months and doubles to 0.50% above it, so a sixty-one month term costs materially more than a fifty-nine month one. And a longer term makes the escalation and lock-in clauses far more important, because you are living with them for a long time.

Many buildings require a No Objection Certificate before a commercial occupier moves in, and some restrict commercial use entirely under their bye-laws. This is separate from registration and it is worth checking before you sign anything. We will tell you what to ask the society for.

Commercial rent is generally subject to GST where the landlord is registered, and the agreement should say clearly whether the quoted rent is inclusive or exclusive of it. We draft that line explicitly — the ambiguity is a common source of disputes in the first quarter.

Yes. A renewal option, with the notice period and the basis for the new rent stated, is one of the most valuable clauses a commercial tenant can have and one of the most commonly omitted. Tell us the commercial understanding and we will write it.
