27 August 2025 The term "acquisition" is not independently defined or listed as a chargeable event in the Indian Stamp Act; what matters is the nature and form of the transfer, not the capacity of the entities involved.
If the transfer involves immovable property or other assets, the instrument of conveyance—like a sale deed, transfer deed, or assignment—would be chargeable as per the relevant entry (often under "Conveyance") in the Stamp Act.

Each State has specific rates and requirements for such instruments; however, there is no separate or additional stamp duty simply because the transaction involves a society and a company.
