If you want to register the firm you required to buy the stamp paper according to stamp act. If you not intend to register the firm i.e., unregistered firm your point is correct.
If you go to register of firm with white paper agreement they take the stamp value along with fine and register the white paper as deed.
When come to allow ability of 40(b) there is no specific rule like that. Remuneration and interest allowed according to deed (whether registered or not).
There are lot of benefit of registering partnership deed.
