Place- Ahmedabad

Dear Patel,

Stamp duty on Promissory Note is Re.1/- (Revenue Stamp)

However, it is advised to get the undated cheque from your friend for the amount of lending as abundant caution. 

In default by your friend, with Promissory Note you can proceed against him in the Civil Court and whereas by obtaining Cheque you may proceed against him in the Criminal Court.
