Hello Friends,

As per The Bombay Stamp Act, 1958

Schedule I (Stamp Duty On Instruments)

COUNTERPART OR DUPLICATE of any instrument chargeable with duty and in respect of which the proper duty has been paid. >>>The same duty as is payable on the original, subject to a maximum of rupees twenty.
.
Payment of stamp duty differs from state to state. So, refer the stamp act of the concerned state(where the regd. office of the company is situated) legislation dealing with stamp duty.

Thanks deepak. Info and links shared by you are wonderful.

 

I have checked Rajasthan Stamp Act since that is applicable in my case. It says -

 

Counterpart or duplicate on any
instrument chargeable with duty and
in respect of which the proper duty
has been paid, --

 

(a) if the duty with which the original           The same duty as is payable on the original.
instrument is chargeable does not
exceed three rupees;

 

 

(b) in any other case.                                                Ten rupees.
 

 

So i think in my case 10 Rs. shall be paid on issue of duplicate share certificate.
