06 September 2012 Dear all,
we had paid stamp duty on share certificates till 2011 as per haryana rates though our reg. office is in delhi.now we are paying stamp duty as per delhi rates because of collector rules, but authority is asking for our previous records.
now can anyone tell me if we had our board meeting in gurgaon in which we issued share certificates so can we pay the duty as per gurgaon rates? and what is the penalty?is there any way to get rid of from this?

You can pay duty as per the rates in the state where board meeting is held for issue of shares.

If you show board meeting in gurgaon you can pay duty in haryana.

06 September 2012 Its just a general practice. Sorry, there are no clause or section in this regard.

Since stamp duty is a matter of state act so pls go through the same.
