22 April 2011 In my opinion, what u have quoted is the stamp duty payable in case of issue of new Share Certificates.

To the best of my knowledge, in case of transfer of shares, stamp duty payable is .25% of the total consideration.

1. You have to affix the stamps on Form 7B and not on the Original Share Certificate.

2. No.
