05 February 2011 “Notification no. 1 dated the 16th January, 1937.

No. 1 – In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (a) of section 9 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (II of 1899), the Governor General in Council is
pleased to remit the stamp duty chargeable under articles 23 and 62 of Schedule I to the said Act on instruments evidencing transfer of property
between companies limited by shares as defined in the Indian Companies Act, 1913, in cases –

(i) where at least 90 per cent of the issued share capital of the transferee company is in the beneficial ownership of the transferor company, or,
(ii) where the transfer takes place between a parent company and a subsidiary company one of which is the beneficial owner of not less than 90 per cent of the issued share capital of the other, or

This notification was superseded by a subsequent notification bearing no. 13 which is dated 25th of December, 1937. The copy of the notification placed before the court reads as follows :-

“ N o. 1 3. dated the 25 th of December, 1937

The Delhi High Court held as under:

16.1. The objections raised by learned counsel for the respondent to the applicability of the notification are therefore legally untenable and cannot be sustained.

16.2 It is held that the notification dated 25th of December, 1937 is applicable and binding.
