Date of stamp paper later than dater agreement date

I have paid a token advance of Rs 50000 on 24-04-2007 for purchase of a land. It was agreed that the total payment would be cleared in three months from the date. On 28-07-2007 additional amount of Rs. 600000 was paid and an agreement of sale was entered on 28-04-2007. The stamp papers were purchased on 28-04-2007 and the date was written as 24-04-2007. Is the agreement valid. The value of stamp papers used also 3 papers of is Rs 10 each. Please guide me to validate the stamp paper and the agreement.

Yes, this is possible. But the DATE OF SIGNING THE AGREEMENT should be on or after the date of purchase of the stamp paper.

You cannot mention the date of signing the agreement prior to the date of purchase of stamp paper.

hence if the agreement is on the date prior to stamp paper date then it doesnot give rise to any claim.the Agreement is not enforceable under the India Contract Act and thats why the reason the agreemant shall be executed on or after the date of stamping.
