Why you need it

When you need it

For a landlord letting out an office, shop, showroom, godown or industrial shed through a broker, or a business engaging a broker to find and lease commercial premises for it. Names which side the Broker acts for — that single answer then decides who else may pay the Broker, what counts as a successful deal, and what the Broker must disclose. Fixes the commission basis — a flat fee, a percentage of the first year's rent, or a percentage for every year of the term — and the event that earns it: a term sheet, the lease itself, or possession. Covers exclusivity, the mandate's term, and what happens to commission on introductions already made when the mandate ends. For a fee already agreed on a single deal that is already taking shape, with no leasing-specific mechanics, use the Brokerage Agreement and Fee Schedule instead. This document is the engagement that comes before that stage, and it is not itself a lease: once a Transaction is found, the parties still need a Commercial Lease Deed, a shop or office tenancy agreement, or whatever instrument the deal actually calls for.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Fixes a mandate and a commission, no interest in the Premises or in any property the Broker finds — Article 5, Schedule I-A, Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (PB/CH), a small fixed sum, not a percentage of the rent or of the commission. Stamp before signing under s.17; the Sub-Registrar's counter or an e-stamp vendor gives the actual figure, since neither the Punjab nor the Chandigarh published stamp duty table dates or numbers this residuary entry. Get it adjudicated by the Collector under ss.31-32 of that Act if it is ever disputed. Do not let the commission percentage in this Agreement be read as if it were the ad valorem base for duty — it is not; this is a fee-for-service mandate, not a conveyance or a lease, and the lease that may follow it is stamped separately, on its own terms, under Article 35.

Registration

Not registrable. Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 reaches only an instrument that itself creates or transfers an interest of Rs 100 or more in immovable property, and this Agreement creates no interest in the Premises or in whatever premises the Broker finds — it only fixes a service and a fee for it. Optional registration under s.18 is available and adds nothing here.

Notarisation

Not required — the witnesses below already establish who signed and when, and there is no interest in property for a notary to authenticate.

Witnesses

Not required by law in either jurisdiction for a document of this kind; two are recommended all the same, because a commission dispute turns on what was agreed and when, and on whether a particular introduction was really the Broker's doing — not on whether this Agreement was witnessed.

COMMERCIAL LEASING BROKERAGE AGREEMENT

The terms on which a landlord or a prospective tenant engages a broker for commercial leasing, which side the Broker acts for, and the event that earns the Broker's commission

Executed at Mohali on 1 April 2026.

Parties

1. The Client — Northline Analytics Private Limited, an individual, of Plot No. 8, Phase 8-B, Industrial Area, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) 160055, acting through Rohit Nair, Director, authorised by board resolution dated 6 September 2026, mobile +91 XXXXX XXXXX, email rohit.nair@example.com ("the Client").

2. The Broker — Rajinder Kumar Bansal, trading as Bansal Commercial Realty, of SCO 22, Phase 3B2, SAS Nagar (Mohali), Punjab 160059, mobile +91 XXXXX XXXXX, email rajinder@bansalcommercial.in, holding real estate agent registration number PBRERA-SAS80-REA0123 ("the Broker").

Background

A. The Client is the Landlord of the Premises described below, and instructs the Broker to find a tenant and let out the Premises.

B. The Broker is instructed in respect of the premises described as: Unit 412, Fourth Floor, Tower A, Quark City IT Park, with two covered car parking spaces, situated at SCO 45, Sector 34-A, Chandigarh 160022 ("the Premises"), which the Client wishes to let to a tenant on terms the Client approves.

C. This Agreement is in Punjab. It governs the mandate given to the Broker and the commission payable on it. It is not itself a lease, an agreement to lease, or any other instrument transferring an interest in property.

1. The mandate

1.1 "Transaction" means a lease of the Premises entered into between the Client, as landlord, and a tenant the Broker introduced, identified or negotiated with under this Agreement.

1.2 The Broker has no authority to sign a term sheet, an agreement to lease, a lease deed or any other binding document for the Client, to accept money on the Client's behalf, or to make any promise that binds the Client, unless the Client gives that authority separately and in writing.

1.3 The Broker will not, without the Client's prior written consent, also act for or accept a fee from a prospective tenant in the same Transaction. If the Broker does act for both sides with that consent, it will disclose in writing to the Client every payment it receives from the other side.

1.4 The Broker will not delegate this mandate to another broker or sub-agent without the Client's prior written consent, and remains responsible for everything done under this Agreement whether or not it delegates.

2. What the Broker will do

2.1 Market the Premises to prospective tenants at a rent the Client approves, arrange viewings at times agreed with the Client, and keep a dated record of every prospective tenant shown the Premises.

2.2 Pass every offer, term sheet or counter-offer to the Client promptly and in writing, whatever its terms, and never hold one back because the Broker thinks it unsuitable.
