Though the date of the Agreement cannot be backdated i.e. if the stamp paper is dated 10th March, 2010 then the Agreement date can either be 10 March, 2010 or any subsequent date for the Agreement to be valid. However, there is no restriction on making the agreement effective from the back date i.e. you can have the date of the agreement as current and the effective date can be back dated . An illustration is as allows:

"This Agreement is entered into on this 10th day of March, 2010 and made effective from 1st February, 2010."

I hope this clarifies.

Yes,  I am fully agree with the Mr. Archit CS, that the agreement date not before the date of stamps, however  the agreement can be effective on  retrospective date .
