When you need it

In an office tower, mall, business park or industrial estate, the landlord usually runs a diesel generator (DG) set, a common water supply, lifts and sometimes central air-conditioning for all tenants. The lease says little about it, and disputes follow: who pays for DG power, at what rate, how it is metered, what happens in a long outage, how often it is billed, and when supply can be stopped for non-payment.

This agreement fixes those terms in one place. It records the backup load the tenant is allotted, how DG power is metered and charged (by unit on a sub-meter, or a fixed charge for the allotted load), how the rate is changed when fuel costs change, the other utilities and common services, billing and payment, interest on late payment, the landlord's duty to keep the plant working with reasonable care, and what the landlord is not liable for. It also deals with the tenant's own grid electricity connection, which is billed directly by the electricity supplier. Use it with a lease of commercial premises in Punjab or Chandigarh where the landlord provides backup power or shared utilities. It supplements the lease. It fixes no rate: the rates you enter are the ones agreed between the parties.

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

An agreement of this kind is stamped as an agreement under the stamp law that applies in Punjab or Chandigarh, unless it is signed with the lease or forms part of it and is stamped with the lease. Check the current figure with the Sub-Registrar or on the e-stamp portal. This template states no duty figure.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable on its own, because it creates no interest in the premises. If it is made part of a registered lease, it is registered with that lease.

Notarisation

Not required.

Witnesses

Not required, though one or two adult witnesses add proof.
