A) We understand from your query that you will pay 200 rupees per month as rent as well as the initial amount of 1.6 lacs (which is a customary practise) that will be returned to you at the end of the lease period.
If our understanding is correct, it will not be permissible to enter into such a contract. There is no basis for you to pay a sum of 1.6 lacs whilst you are paying 200 rupees per month as rent.
