09 July 2024 As of my last update, there has been no specific change in the stamp duty requirements for cash transactions in West Bengal or any other part of India that I'm aware of. However, it's important to note a few general points regarding stamp duty and cash transactions:

1. **Stamp Duty on Cash Transactions**: Stamp duty is typically levied on certain types of documents, agreements, or instruments as per the Stamp Act of each state. It is not directly applicable to cash transactions unless specified otherwise.

2. **Revenue Stamps**: Revenue stamps are commonly used on documents to denote that certain duties or fees have been paid as required under the Stamp Act. They are typically affixed on agreements, bills, receipts, etc.

3. **Recent Updates**: State governments may periodically update their stamp duty rates or requirements, so it's advisable to check with the local authorities or the official website of the Revenue Department of West Bengal for any recent notifications or changes related to stamp duty.

4. **Thresholds for Stamp Duty**: If there are specific thresholds or requirements related to using revenue stamps for cash transactions above a certain limit, these would typically be outlined in the relevant state's Stamp Act or through notifications issued by the state government.

5. **Compliance and Advice**: To ensure compliance with the Stamp Act and to get the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to consult with a local tax advisor or legal expert who specializes in stamp duty laws in West Bengal.

In summary, while there hasn't been a specific update regarding the use of revenue stamps for cash transactions above Rs 5000/- in West Bengal recently, it's prudent to verify with local authorities or seek professional advice to confirm current requirements and practices.
