Dear Amit,

As per Stamp duty rates applicable in Delhi, the rate of stamp duty for a Gift deed is 8% of value.

Please let us all know the amendment or notification by which it has become Rs. 100 for a gift upto Rs. 5 lacs as stated by you.

Awaiting your response,

Regards

Actually, it is not that stamp duty is payable on gift deed, which can be on simple paper, both signed by donor and donee, with list of shares, and subsequently transferred to donee. If shares are in physcal form the 1/2 % of market value's stam duty shall be charged

Thanks

1.Stamp paper cost are required and purchased for payment of specified stamp duty. When you buy stamp paper of rs. 100, it means you are discharging your liability for payment of requisite stamp duty as per law. I hope you are clear.

2. Please give for information of members at large, the legal basis for your satement given below :

"Value of Gift Less than Rs.5,00,000 then Stamp paper of Rs. 100

Value of Gift more than Rs.5,00,000 then Stamp paper of Rs.500."

Otherwise, it may mislead CAClub Members.

3. Refer Rates of Stamp Duty applicable for Delhi. It has en entry for Gift which in turn refers to Conveyance which is 8%. If you do not prepare a Gift deed, no stamp duty is payable under the said clause.

4. Share transfer stamp duty for shares transfer is 0.25% ( and not 0.50 %) of value of shares ( in physical form).

Hi Guys,

Its very late for me to contribute to this dead chat, but in case if it is helpful to anyone.

Manoj and Amit both are right.

Amit is right since Gift deed of shares is to be executed on a stamp paper of Rs. 100 only.

Manoj is right when he says that on actual phsysical tranfer by executing share transfer form, the stamp duty required to be paid is 0.25% of the value of shares transfered as per article 62 of Indian Stamp Act, which is applicable to Maharashtra and Gujarat and probable Delhi aswell (need to check). Bombay stamp Act has no rates so far as transfer of shares is concerned as it is part of entry 91 of VIIth schedule of Constitution of India on which Indian stamp act is applied.

Manoj is again right to say that the entry of Gift in Delhi had a rate of 8% which is the rate of conveyance. But that entry only is applicable to instrument. The def of instrument excludes tranfer of share. Thus the entry of Gift is not applible to a gift deed for transfer of Shares. Accordingly the stamp duty applicable shall be the prevailing stamp duty to be put on any ordinary declarration, which presently in Gujarat is Rs. 100

Trust it is of some assistance

Also let me know whether One Stamp paper is required for all the gift transactions that took place during the year (OR) do we need separate Stamp papers for each such transaction.

Gift is between Father and Daughter.
