Stamp Paper & Notary

Stamp paper and notarisation are essential components of legal documentation in India. They provide legal validity, authenticity, and enforceability to property and commercial documents.

What is Stamp Paper?

Stamp Paper

Stamp paper is a special type of paper on which legal documents are printed to make them legally valid. It serves as proof that the required stamp duty has been paid to the government. Under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, every document that creates, transfers, or extinguishes a right or liability must be executed on stamp paper of the appropriate value.

Stamp duty rates vary from state to state and depend on the type of document and the property value. The stamp paper must be purchased in the name of one of the parties to the document.

State-Specific Rates Legal Validity Evidence in Court

What is Notarisation?

Notary

Notarisation is the process of authentication of a document by a Notary Public, who is a legal officer authorised to certify documents, administer oaths, and verify signatures. Notarisation ensures that the document is genuine and that the parties have executed it voluntarily.

In India, Notaries are appointed under the Notaries Act, 1952. Notarisation involves the notary verifying the identity of the signatories, witnessing their signatures, and affixing their official seal and stamp on the document.

When is Notarisation Required?

  • Affidavits and sworn statements
  • Power of Attorney documents
  • Rent agreements and lease deeds
  • Indemnity bonds and guarantees
  • Commercial contracts and agreements

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about property documents and our services.

A Sale Agreement is a promise to transfer ownership in the future, subject to certain conditions. A Sale Deed is the actual transfer of ownership and title from the seller to the buyer. The Sale Agreement comes first, and the Sale Deed is executed after the full payment and fulfilment of conditions.
Registration of a Rent Agreement is mandatory under the Registration Act, 1908 if the tenancy period exceeds 12 months. For agreements of 11 months or less, registration is not mandatory but is recommended for legal validity and evidence in case of disputes.
A Gift Deed can be revoked only under specific circumstances, such as fraud, misrepresentation, or coercion. Once the gift is accepted and registered, it cannot be cancelled unilaterally by the donor. The donee must agree to the cancellation, which is done through a Revocation Deed.
The documents required include: Sale Deed or relevant title document, stamp duty payment receipt, property tax receipts, encumbrance certificate, Khata certificate, identity proof of parties, and PAN cards. Additional documents may be required based on the type of transaction.
Stamp duty rates vary from state to state and depend on the type of document, property value, and the relationship between parties. Generally, it ranges from 3% to 10% of the property value. We provide guidance on stamp duty calculation and procurement of stamp paper.
A General Power of Attorney grants broad authority to the agent to act on behalf of the principal in multiple matters (financial, legal, property). A Special Power of Attorney grants limited authority for a specific purpose or transaction (e.g., selling a particular property). Special POAs are more commonly used for property transactions.
