Dear Richankji, For the state of Rajasthan, as per Rajasthan Stamp Act, rate of stamp duty as mentioned by you is One rupee for every one thousand or a part thereof of the value of the shares, scrip or stock. My query is whether stamp duty to be paid on face value or issue price of shares. For eg. if 10000 shares of Rs. 10/- each are issued @ Rs. 100/- each then whether stampt duty is to be paid on : 10000*10 = 100000 or 10000*100 = 10,00,000/- I await your reply! Thanks, Neha

Dear Richank Sir,

I'm aware that the stamp duty in my case would be of Re 100

I would be grateful if you could confirm that sticking of revenue stamps would be compliance or will I require to get the share certificate franked. The company has registered office in New Delhi.

Dear Neha Madam,

As per my understanding the stamp duty would be face value + premium.. Experts view are solicited.

Thanks,

Regards.

Dear JJ, I am reproducing below language of Rajasthan Stamp act : Certificate or other document, exercising the right or title of the holder thereof or any other person, either to any shares, scrip or stock or any incorporated company or other body corporate or to become proprietor of shares, scrip or stock in or of any such company or body : One rupee for every one thousand rupees or a part thereof, of the face value, of the Shares, Scrip or Stock. Therefore I have doubt in my mind whether stamp duty to be paid on face value or issue price of shares since practice generally followed in Rajasthan is to pay stamp duty on Issue price (face value + premium) Thanks. Regarding your query, you can affix revenue stamp (after affixing cancel them by marking lines across the same) OR you can also get franking done. Both are proper compliance.

Thank you for the confirmation Neha Mam,

one of our clients a company incorporated in Rajasthan. I advised the client to pay stamp duty @ face value + premium. based on that I had made the above comments. However, I feel you have highlighted a valid point here.

Experts, Kindly guide on this present scenario, Please…..

Thanks

Hello All,

Please let me know if an e-stamp paper of proper stamp value will be valid for a share certificate or they compulsorily have to be franked? This is for the State of Karnataka.

How can it be on face value.... its on the traded value.
