SALE VS- LEASE

i. ii. iii. iv. In sale the right, title, interest and ownership in respect of the property is transferred. Whereas in lease the right of possession and right to enjoy the property is transferred. In sale the two parties are called vendor and vendee. In lease they are called lessee and lessor. In sale the deed is the permanent document. Whereas in lease the document is of temporary nature which is bound to terminate with the expiration of the lease period. In sale the stamp duty is to be paid according to the proportion of the value of the property. Whereas in lease stamp duty is calculated according to the amount of annual rent to be paid by the lessee. In sale the consideration is paid at the time of registration and in terms of money. Whereas in lease consideration is paid monthly, half-yearly, or annually either in cash or in kind. In sale, only the vendor has to sign the document. Whereas in lease the lessor and lessee should sign the document. In sale registration is compulsory for properties of valued above Rs. 100. However, for lease registration is compulsory if the duration is for a year or more. In sale, a sale deed with conditions is ambiguous. However in lease, terms and conditions are an integral part of it.
