Dear Rajesh....

If the agreement date is 5 Nov 2014 for one year, then mention on top stating 'This Agreement is made and executed on 5th Nov, 2014' and mention the effective date of this Agreement from 6th Nov, 2014.

You can use stamp paper purchased in March 2014 to execute a agreement in November.

need clarification :

how can one mention, in the above case, that the agreement executed on 5th, when the stamp paper was franked or is dated 6th nov.?

I think one can write in the agreement, dated and executed on 6th nov. that the agreement is executed on 6th and has come into effect from 5th or any previous date. that is the parties agree to do business in past and now have formally entered into an agreement.

request to provide clarification.
