Dear Friends, The relevant provisions of the Indian Stamp Act have to be verified for authority. Previously the limit was Rs. 500/- and the limit has been raised to Rs. 5000/-. Usage of the revenue stamp and the act of affixing relevant party's signature makes the transaction provable in a court of law. It is a type of a premium paid to the Government for securing the evidentiary value of the transaction in the eyes of law. The limit and the usage of revenue stamp have to be strictly adhered to.

Hi friends,

This is for all of you who have posted ther comment.

As per Indian Stamp Act 1899, certain receipts should have to be affixed with stamp. Section 2(2 3) of the Indian Stamp Act 1899 makes it mandatory for affixing of stamp on any receipt as defined therein above Rs 5000 .[Previously it was Rs 500]"

Stamp duty on Receipt - Stamp Duty on receipt is Re. 1 for receipt above Rs. 5,000. Receipt includes any note, memorandum or writing [whether signed by any person or not] (a) where any money, or any bill of exchange or promissory note is acknowledged to have been received or (b) where any other movable property is acknowledged to have been received in satisfaction of a debt or (c) whereby any debt or demand is acknowledged to have been satisfied or discharged or (d) which signifies or indicates any such acknowledgment [section 2(23)].

So, REVENUE STAMP is also required at the time of CHEQUE PAYMENT.

Revenue stamp must be affixed on each payment over the limit of 5000/-. What ever you are paying through Cash, if it is excess from rs. 5000/- then you have to affix a 1 rupee revenue stamp. In your case you dont need to affix a revenue stamp as you are paying Rs. 4500/-

Hi.

Can anyone tell me whether the necessity of putting a Re. 1 stamp on payments above Rs. 5000 is also applicable to Union territories or is it applicable to the specific states only.
