Stamp duty is a State subject, which differs from a State to another.
A complaint case under section 138 of Negotiable Act, 1881 is treated as "Criminal" complaint which do not attract Stamp Duty. It is Rs. 2/- (Two only) in Delhi and Rs. 10/- in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
However, it would be better to check with the registry of the Court / local lawyer / any court clerk.

It is a state subject and in Tamilnadu it is 5% of the cheque amount.
