Validity of Stamp Paper

I have a stamp paper of Rs.20/- dated Feb 2000 in good condition. Can I use the same to execute a rental agreement dated Oct 2005. Please advise.

Definitly you can use it  any time.

Go through the SEC 54 Of Indian Stamp Act-

Apex court held-----------

Expiry date of stamp paper- Use of stamp paper for execution of agreement to sell- no impediment for stamp paper purchased more than 6 months prior to proposed date of execution being used for document- Stipulation of period of 6 months prescribed in Sec 54, Stamp Act is only for purpose of seeking refund of value of unused stamp paper and not for use of stamp paper- SC-CLJ-2008-211, SC- U.P. Revenue Judgment- 2008(2)-1424(A).
