21 March 2013 In case of private or public company, applicable stamp duty is to be paid electronically.

However in case of Delhi Note: The Hon'ble High Court of Delhi at New Delhi has held in the matter of S E Investments
Limited Vs Union of India and Others [W.P. (c) 2393/2010 and CM Appl.4794/2011] that there is
no provision in the Delhi Stamp Act for payment of stamp duty on "increased authorised capital" .
Payment of stamp duty for increase of authorised capital being paid with filing of eForm No.5
with respect to State of National Capital Territory of Delhi is made optional.

Article 10 for clauses (a) and (b) of Schedule IA of Indian Stamp Act, 1899 has been substituted as:-
