What Is Stamp Duty? Stamp duty is a tax, which is levied by
government on all property transactions. Non payment or delay in payment of
Stamp Duty attracts penalty, Therefore it is mandatory to pay Stamp Duty.
Stamp duty is payable under Section 3 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. A stamp
duty paid instrument / document is considered a proper legal document and
can be admitted as evidence in courts whereas Document not properly stamped
has no evidentiary value hence cannot be admitted in court of law as
