Re: Stamp duty

Since your agreement is prior to Dec'85, no stamp duty thereon.

Re: Stamp duty

The stamp duty varies from place to place and also depend upon nature of transaction.

If it was a "sale", the duty is paid at the time of purchase; if it is an alloment by Society or a developer, the duty may be payable when you go for conveyance deed.

What is the occasion now after 24 years for you to ask about Stamp
