26 August 2022 As per my experience, as you will sign & execute the documents at US and deliver it at Mumbai; So, stamp duty as per Maharashtra act will be applicable.
Our advocate team mate may enlighten more on the legal aspect.

29 August 2022 As such now stamp duty is paid by e-franking, some of the banks also frank it.. So, let them decide whichever nearby office/bank suits either of them. Let them also confirm when to perform e-franking, as generally, it is to be franked first, and then signed.
