The Indian Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act, 2021 (Assam Act No. XXVII of 2021)

The Indian Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act, 2021 (Assam Act No. XXVII of 2021) amended the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, in its application to the State of Assam. The Act came into force on September 16, 2021.

The main amendments introduced by the Act are as follows:

  • Increased the stamp duty on lease agreements where a fine or premium is paid or advanced. The duty is now the same as that for a conveyance, in addition to the duty that would have been payable if no fine or premium had been paid or advanced.
  • Provided that in any case where an agreement to lease is stamped with the ad valorem stamp required for a lease, and a lease in pursuance of such agreement is subsequently executed, the duty on such lease shall not exceed rupees two hundred.
  • Increased the maximum penalty for non-stamping of documents from Rs. 500 to Rs. 10,000.

The Act also made some minor amendments to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, such as:

  • Updating the list of documents that are exempt from stamp duty.

The Indian Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act, 2021 is intended to increase the revenue generated from stamp duty in Assam and to discourage non-stamping of documents. The Act is also expected to help in streamlining the registration process and to improve the transparency of land transactions in the state.
