Reply to your query on the assumption that Assessee is an Individual. Stamp duty paid for purchase of home will be avaialble as a deduction u/s 80C. Furthermore, this deduction amount will be in the limit of section 80C i.e. INR 100,000/-. Thus, you can take the benefit of deduction of Stamp duty paid within the overall limit of INR 100,000/- Thanks Mihir Doshi
