27 October 2010 Hi

When you are issuing share certificate in UP it is only one requirement to affix Rs. 1 revenue stamp on such certificate.

28 October 2010 Thanks for the answer but I would like to add to my previous query that whether the revenue stamps are to be affixed per certificate or on a consolidated value.

Plus can u help me with the prevailing stamp duty rates in Gujarat also.

25 July 2025 Here’s a quick summary for your query on **stamp duty on share certificates**:

### Uttar Pradesh (UP)

* **Stamp duty on share certificates:**
As per common practice and responses, **Rs. 1 revenue stamp per share certificate** is to be affixed, regardless of the number or value of shares in that certificate.
* No requirement to affix stamp on the consolidated value of shares; it’s per certificate.

### Gujarat

* Stamp duty on share certificates in Gujarat generally follows the same pattern but may vary:
Usually, **Rs. 1 per share certificate** is affixed or duty calculated as per value of shares (often a nominal amount like Rs. 1 or 0.5% on value).
* To be precise, Gujarat Stamp Act or government notifications should be referred for exact rates, as they may update periodically.

**Note:** Stamp duty rules can be state-specific and sometimes updated, so it’s always safer to cross-check with the latest state government notifications or consult a local stamp duty expert.

If you want, I can help you draft a detailed note or help locate the exact updated rates from official sources!
