Under section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, in the absence of a contract or local law or usage to the contrary, a lease of immovable property for agricultural or manufacturing purposes is deemed to be a lease from year to year, terminable on the part of either lessor or lessee by six months' notice. The question specifies the year-to-year category.

Since the Transfer of Property (Amendment) Act, 2002 (Act 3 of 2003), the notice need no longer expire with the end of a year of the tenancy: the period runs from the date of receipt of the notice, and a notice is not invalid merely because its period falls short where the suit or proceeding is filed after the statutory period has expired.
