11 July 2024 In Maharashtra, the stamp duty rates for Form STK-3 (Indemnity Bond) and Form STK-4 (Affidavit) are typically nominal. As of my last update, the stamp duty rates are as follows:

1. **Form STK-3 (Indemnity Bond):**
- The stamp duty for an Indemnity Bond is generally nominal, often fixed at a low amount such as Rs. 100 or Rs. 200. This bond is typically executed to indemnify the government against any liabilities that may arise from striking off the name of a company from the register of companies.

2. **Form STK-4 (Affidavit):**
- Similar to the Indemnity Bond, the stamp duty for an Affidavit (STK-4) is also nominal. It is usually fixed at a minimal amount, such as Rs. 100 or Rs. 200. The affidavit is submitted to affirm the details provided in the application for strike-off of the company.

These nominal stamp duty rates are set to ensure compliance with legal requirements while keeping the financial burden on applicants minimal for these specific forms related to strike-off proceedings.

However, to obtain the most accurate and updated information regarding stamp duty rates in Maharashtra for Form STK-3 and Form STK-4, it is advisable to consult the official website of the Maharashtra government or visit the nearest Sub-Registrar's office. They can provide the current stamp duty rates and any recent updates that may have been implemented after 1st April 2022.
