Payment of stamp duty  on the basis of venue of board meeting seems illogical. What is the duty if the Board meeting is held in Alaska.

In mumbai, the duty is on Document of Share Certificate  and not on allotment

Ms. Poonam has opined in respect of issue of share certificates that stamp duty is payable on the basis of Board Meeting of the company.

I would be greatful for the learned members to give to their legal backing for this stand.

Stamp Duty is levied on the instrument but not on the action.

Three things matters in case of allotment of share capital, issue of share certificate and payment of stamp duty:

1. State where Board Resolution has been passed for allotment (holding Board Meeting only enables for the allotment, actaul execution of instrument is yet to be taken place at the time of issuance of share certificate);

2. Place of execution of share certificate;

a. siging by the Directors, CS/Authorised Person

b. Common Seal Affixation

3. Entry in the statutory registers (register of allotment/ register of members)

Since Companies Act, 1956/2013 mandates that common seal and statutory registers must be kept at registered office of the company which may or may not be the same state where meeting of board was conducted. Further to note, execution of share certificate (instrument as per Indian Stamp Act on which stamp duty liability occurs) complete only after affixing common seal onto it followed by entry in the register of members before issuing share certificate.

Now, if the company by following good corporate governance and in compliance of Indian Stamp Act pass such resolution in compliance of aforesaid point 1-3, stamp duty, as per indian stamp act must go only to the state where the actual execution of share certificate took place. Obviously the intention is not to evade stamp duty by holding meeting in the state (co-incidently having less stamp duty) other than the state where regsitered office is situated. If the Company holds every board meeting at a definite place (other than registered office) for all agenda (not particulary for the allotment case) the good intention is itself very clear.

Others intellect on this issue contrary to the above are solicited.

Regards

Abhishek
