In which state the land is? Stamp duty has to be assessed on the basis of that particular State's Law.

If you pay lesser stamp duty then payable, then you document will be impounded by the Authorities unless you pay full stamp duty. In court litigation also, if it is found that document is inadequately stamped, then court would impound such document and will send it to stamp duty collector, for assessment and payment of proper fees, before such document can be taken and read in evidence.
