Stamp Paper Requirements for Partnership Deeds

The amount of stamp paper required for a partnership deed varies significantly based on the state in which the partnership is registered. Here are some key points regarding stamp duty for partnership deeds:

Minimum Stamp Duty: The minimum stamp duty for a partnership deed is generally around ₹200, but this can increase depending on the state. For example:

In Delhi, the minimum is ₹200.

In Mumbai, it is ₹500.

In Bengaluru, it is ₹500 if the capital exceeds ₹500.

In Kolkata, it also requires ₹500.

In Gujarat, the stamp duty is 1% of the partnership capital, capped at ₹10,000.

Affidavit Requirement: Each partner must submit an affidavit on stamp paper of ₹20/50, indicating their intention to enter into a partnership.

Given these variations, it is essential to check the specific stamp duty rates applicable in your state to ensure compliance when drafting or modifying a partnership deed.
