Hello.......... can anaybody pls tell me what are the consequences of non payment of stamp duty on issue of share certificate by closely held company? How to avoid that?Ours is closely held company and non profit making company
Share certificate is issued to the shareholders by the company. If it is issued without stamp duty it's the fault of the company. Why will the genuine and bonafide shareholder suffer for the fault of the company? The Stamp Act must contain some penal provision for the company issuing without paying stamp duty.
