Dear Sir, I am referring to the stamp duty applicable for issuance of the BG, not commission.

I think if the guarantee for loan amount does not exceed,the stamp duty of Rs.100/- is sufficient.
Siddharth Dev (Expert) 16 December 2016
I have nothing to add
vivin (Querist) 16 December 2016
Dear kavksatyanarayana, can you state that amount for which the guarantee value should not exceed? for Stamp duty of 100?

as per the Maharashtra stamp act an Indemnity bond will require a 500 hundred rupee stamp duty. can the same apply for guarantee of any value ? and what act are you referring to ?

Bank guarantee may consist of two parts i.e. Bank guarantee and counter guarantee.

Both are agreements and need to be stamped as an agreement in this case as per Maharashtra State Stamp Act.

Bank guarantee is non fund based advance, Bank charges commission which may differ from Bank to Bank.

State Bank charges 2.508 % p.a. for inland Bank Guarantee upto 5 cr. min. 684/-
