Stamp paper has to be purchased in the name of the party who will be executing the document 

As such the document if its signed on a stamp paper purchased in name of some other person, will be considered as not stamped 

Release of rights is a transfer of property. That has to be made by way of a registered document which is duly stamped and not by way of an affidavit

Sale can be challenged within 3 years of registration of sale deed or within 3 years of the person gaining knowledge of such registered sale deed, whichever is later. Though in law a registered document is deemed to be within the knowledge of public as a registered document upon registration comes within public domain

Stamp paper would not be valid as purchased in name of third party 

 

It would be 3 per cent of market value of your share in property

It is not necessary but preferable that the stamp paper should be bought by the parties involved in the transaction. Its validity cannot be called into question unless there are are other connected issues.

The stamp duty has to be calculated by the notary and it has to be registered.

If anybody else has purchased the papers then too it cannot be questioned.

The 100/- stamp paper would be valid and should be notarized.

If you register the documents then it would cost you more. Around 6 7 percent of the value of the property.

The valuation will depend upon the value of property. You need to pay the deficit stamp duty. It doesn't depend on your share but the total value of transaction. It differs for sale deed, gift deed etc

The unregistered deed of indemnity cum declaration and affidavit is not enforceable in couirt of law.

You can prepare the same in a non judicial stamp paper to the rates of the stamp paper applicable in your state and get it notarised but the same cannot be enforced in court of law.

The released deed relinquishing the rights in the property canot be done on a non judicial stamp paper alone, it should be executed on a registered deed. 

Moreover the Affidavit cum declaration cum indemnity bond is not a valid document to forego the rights in the property, it should be executed in a release deed format only and not in any other manner.

The stamp paper purchased on a third party's name for such transactions  between a third person with the concerned person may not be legally valid.

Also please be aware that the unregistered deed in respect of immovable property transaction is invalid in law.

This is my response to you:

1. You can transfer property only by paying appropriate stamp duty;

2. With respect to the ADI or any other supplementary document to sale deed, the stamp paper can be of 100 rupees and it can be notarized;

3. To register any document, the stamp paper should be of the value of 500 Rupees;

4. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.
