Dear Mr. Kalyanam,

Thank you for your answer. You are telling me that the DEED OF PLEDGE shall be treated as Agreement or Memorandum of Agreement & not as pledge when it comes to Stamp Duty on Agreement relating to Deposit of Title-deeds,  Pledge. Am I correct in understanding you sir ?

Sagnik Sanyal

Dear Sagnik,

Yes, in the case of a deed of pledge of marketable security.
