The stamp duty is to be paid on the share certificate irrespective of the fact whether it is a bonous issue or rights issue or public issue.There is no difference on stamp duty on shares of a listed company or unlisted company.The rate of stamp duty is different in different states.In many states there is no stamp duty on share certificates.
