Rate of stamp duty

Pooja (Querist) 08 March 2013 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,

If something is not written in the Indian Stamp Act,1899 about the stamp duty rates on a particular type of agreement then what rate we should apply?

For example there is a Joint Venture Agreement and nothing is specified in Stamp Act about the rate of duty, then what should be the amount of duty to be paid?

Is there something written in the law? Kindly given your expert advice.

Thanks

Pooja Nirmal

If your agreement/document is not covered by any specific entry in the Stamp Act, you need to pay stamp duty under the heading "Any other document"...
