Thanks Randhir for your reply.

Could you let me know whether stamp duty would be payable on the face value of the shares or on the market value?

For an example if the face value of the shares is INR 10 and company is issuing at INR 1000 i.e Premium amount is Rs 990.  Then would the stamp duty payable on INR 1000 or on INR 10.

Thanks

The provision for stamp in this case again will differ from state to state, for Ex...in Delhi its like this

In Haryana Its like This

You need to refer the relevant state's stamp act in your case.
