Well. He didn't issue Receipt nor entered teh document in Register stating that it is not reqd.
But Notray charges are listed out in Notary Act 1952 (Third Amendment) Rules 2012. It list the charges for Notarising Deed of Underatking as Rs 15 + Rs 25 Stamp chrges = Rs 40. So CHarging Rs 150 is cheating.
Pl tell me where do I lodge the complaint. Pl provide full name of Govt dept, Postal address & phone no if any. I have already Form XIII duly filled.
