Is it legal to create two rental agreements for the same premises?
We have leased a commercial property for 3 years and have made a rental agreement for the same. Now, our business is growing, and we need to obtain a GST certificate. However, if we use the 3-year agreement, it needs to be registered. To avoid registration stamp duty, I was thinking of creating a new rental agreement for 11 months for GST purposes. What are the legal complications involved in this?

So long as the original lease agreement is not registered, it’s not a valid legal document. So technically only the 11 month agreement counts.
