    1. 'One rupee' as per item no. 20 of Schedule to the Uttar Pradesh Stamp Act 2008. There doesn't seem to be any amendments on it afterwards. You can check with any nearby Sub-Registrar's Office of Stamp and Registration Department of Govt of UP. Call them up.

  3. Respected Sir/Madam,

    Please tell whether Stamp Duty will be payable on Authorized or paid part only. like our company has authorized capital of Rs 10 Lakhs and out of that paid up capital is Rs 5 Lakhs only.

    Please also tell the method by which It can be paid if our registered office is in Surat, Gujarat.

    1. Stamp duty is payable on the Authorised share capital. Not on paid up capital. Stamp duty is paid on authorised capital during incorporation of the company. After that as and when a company increases the Authorised capital it pays the stamp duty on the increased amount only.

      Stamp duty is paid electronically these days through MCA portal.

      Additionally, during the issue and allotment of shares (i.e. increase in paid up capital) the stamp duty is paid on the share certificate (i.e. on folio basis or on consideration etc) as mentioned in this article above.

      Stamp duty on share certificate is paid through Franking on share certificate or e-stamping or affixing stamps. Different states have different modes for this.

    1. I think it is "One rupee for every rupees 10,000 or part thereof, of the value of the security at the time of its purchase or sale, as the case may be".
