Contracts and agreements on court stamp papers

(Querist) 03 March 2013 This query is : Resolved 
Dear All,

I just wanted to know that, is this mandatory to have the contracts and agreements in stamp papers ????? If yes what is the slab of court stamp papers???

or

this is okay if the agreements/contracts could be valid on simple official letter heads in stead of stamp papers. Please advice.

Thanks
Santosh

1. Yes. 2. Stamp duty varies from state to state.

There is no requirement in every agreement or contact to draft on stamp paper so the nature of the contact is required to be disclosed by you first.
