The law for affixing revenue Stamps is under Indian Stamps Act. The law is passed by the centre, levied by the centre but money collected by the states for their use. For movable properties, immovable properties and other legal documents like affidavits, agreements etc. State has got the powers to fix the rates for collecting the duty. For cash (receipts by cash and cheque), promissory notes and transactions involving instruments for payments (cheques, d/ds, l/cs) and promissory notes or bills of exchange, or even on physical share certificates, the rate can be fixed only by the centre and all states have to follow that rate. For cash receipts the centre has fixed Rs.1/- for receipts over Rs.5000/-. The proceeds go to the state.

One can pay a consolidated amount to dispense the requirement of sticking the stamps on the paper but you have to maintain an account of the value of stamps required to be affixed and when the consolidated payment is fully utilised you have to pay again. In days of physical shares the limited companies were doing this at time of issuing shares against public offer or bonus / reights issues.

revenue stamp is require on payment of more than 5000 Rs in cash.
