Hi Abinash

Every agreement needs to be stamped as per Indian Stamp Act. You can execute the agreement on a minimal amount of Rs. 100.

For any clarifications, write to me at mittaljets@gmail.com.

All the valid contracts will be required to be paid with proper stamp duty lest it may not be held valid in the event of litigation in future.
