To sanction loan you need no stamp paper though making a formal loan agreement is advisable.
At the time of handling over the DD/Cheque get sign of the borrower on a Receipt having Revenue Stamp affixed on it.

Hope you have printed loan agreement form for both for cash credit limit & term loan which needs to be signed by the borrower & you. No stamp duty is required to be affixed on it.
In case of term loan, if you are paying the amount to third party, take a letter of instruction from the self help group to that effect.
