Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the stamp paper requirements for partnership deeds in India, particularly concerning changes in partnership constitution like admissions and retirements. It highlights that stamp duty is generally based on the total capital contribution, but specific rates and paper types vary by state according to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. The conversation also notes that the specific requirements can depend on whether it's a partnership agreement or governed by the Stamp Act.

According to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 , and the latest amendments the stamp duty for a partnership deed is typically calculated based on the total amount of capital contributed by all partners, However, the specific stamp duty rate and the type of stamp paper required can vary depending on the state in which the partnership is registered.

In general, for a partnership deed, the stamp duty is usually a fixed amout or a percentage of the total capital contributed, whichever is higher. 

Post more details.

It is not stamp act

Partnership agreement 

For a change in a partnership's constitution due to admission and retirement, execute the modification on a Non-Judicial Stamp Paper using a Supplemental Deed / Deed of Retirement and Admission, with the exact stamp duty value determined by the specific state's Stamp Act provisions and any net change in capital contribution.

A partnership firm cannot continue with only one partner; at least two partners are required. If one partner is admitted before another retires, the firm can continue, provided the admission and retirement are legally effective in the stated sequence and the partnership deed records the resulting constitution.

There is no single stamp-paper value prescribed nationwide for this change. Stamp duty on the supplementary/reconstituted partnership deed depends on the State’s stamp law and current amendments; check the applicable State schedule for the instrument’s substance and execution date. The State and the deed’s terms are needed to identify the exact duty.

This constitution-change workflow should include documenting the admission and retirement in the deed and updating the firm’s statutory records. Manual deed and compliance work is difficult, while automation can reduce repetitive tasks and leave legal and tax judgment in professional control.
