Stamp duty

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 January 2021 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sirs,
I have purchased a Rs.100/- stamp paper in TN for lease agreement for 11 months. Owner is residing at Bengaluru and they have signed the agreement and later it is to be executed at Mumbai (my office location and leased property location).
Is this agreement valid and acceptable.

In my view the stamp paper purchased in TN cannot be executed in Mumbai (Maharashtra).
