Thank you for your response.
The point at issue is adjudicating stamp duty on CONVEYANCE DEED of land (and building?) to regd CHSociety in Mumbai,giving credit of stamp duty already paid on the sale document for individual premises.
"A" ENTERED INTO AGREEMENT FOR SALE WITH DEVELOPER BUILDER but agreement was not registered.Small amount of stamps were affixed.
'A' executed ASSIGNMENT DEED in favour of 'B' in which developer builder has endorsed "WE HAVE NOTED THE CONTENTS OF THE AGREEMENT FOR TRANSFER - " This is the first sale document registered for the said premises (with developer/builder's endorsement therein). Substantial stamp duty has been paid on this.
We legitimately feel we should get credit for this when adjudicating stamp duty on Conveyance Deed.
Our stand is as follows:
"As this is the first registered sale document, wherein builder is a party, transferring the premises and assigning the benefits of AGREEMENT FOR SALE etc to the assignee therein, the Superintendent of Stamps and Valuation is required to take into account stamp duty paid on this first registered sale document when adjudicating stamp duty on CONVEYANCE DEED"
We want this to be made into enquiry under RTI".
