As per definition, to qualify as stage carraige vehicle must have a capacity for more than 6 persons other than driver and charge seperate fare to other persons.
As per my understanding contract carraige is where , (if transport of goods is taking place) It should load goods at one place and drop at the end point and no alterations must be made in between.
Stage carraige is where you keep on loading and dropping goods between two points of transport.
So going by this understanding , if there is a truck transporting goods and having capacity of 2 persons ( 1 driver and 1 cleaner) and is loading and unloading goods between two points , as what a stage carraige does.
Will it qualify to be a stage carraige?

I think having capacity of Six or more (Ex Driver) is the foremost criteria for Stage Carrier.
stage carriage means a motor vehicle carrying or adapted to carry more than six persons excluding the driver, which carries passengers for hire or reward at separate fares paid by or for individual passengers, either for the whole journey or for stages of the journey, and includes such a carriage or other omnibus when used as a contract carriage within the meaning of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 ;
1[(29A) "tourist vehicle" means a contract carriage constructed or adapted and equipped and maintained in accordance with such specifications as the State Government may, by notification in the Official, Gazette, specify in this behalf;]
