25 July 2025 Hey! About your query on **stamp paper amount for partnership deed registration**:

* Traditionally, **Rs. 500 stamp paper** was used for partnership deed.
* But **after the amendment around 8th March (year not specified, likely recent)**, the **minimum stamp duty for partnership deed has been increased to Rs. 2000** in many states for the deed to be legally valid and admissible as evidence.
* This is because several states revised their Stamp Acts or introduced new rules, raising the minimum stamp duty for such agreements.

### What you should do:

1. **Check the specific Stamp Act/Rules applicable in your state** (where the partnership firm is being registered).
2. If the amendment is applicable in your state, then **buy Rs. 2000 stamp paper** to avoid any future legal issues.
3. In case of online business (Flipkart, Amazon), the nature of business doesn’t change stamp duty — it depends on the **type of document (partnership deed)** and the **state law**.

### Quick tips:

* Always get the stamp paper from authorized vendors.
* Keep a copy of the stamp paper and deed safely for legal proofs.
* Consult local registrar or stamp office to confirm current rates.
