No. the executive instructions are given by the IG of Registration of a State. so they are vary from State to State. however rectification deed requires Stamp duty if the total extent or measurement are completely changed. they are called matrial alterations. any material alteration requires stamp duty and fees. Only clerical mistake does not require stamp duty.

BUT I don't agree with above-noted expert on the ground that he has failed to clearly read the query which says that there is a clerical mistake in the sale-deed. The dimensions in the enclosed map and deed are different hence it shall be regarded as a clerical error which needs no additional stamp duty than already paid.
