Bombay stamp act Article 5 (h-A) (iv) – Stamp duty on an agreement creating an obligation, right or interest and having monetary value but not covered under any other article

Stamp duty payable – if the amount agreed does not exceed Rs. 10 lakhs – 0.1% of the total value of the contract In any other case – 0.2% of the total value of the contract

2) In its current form it includes all service contracts, loan agreements, security agreements, investment agreements, etc.

The procedure to enter into a contract involving the financial matters or any such agreement which is vital for conducting any business, is by entering the contents in a non-judicial stamp worth Rs. 100/- NJS.
