HC Stays Circular On Charging New Stamp Duty Retrospectively
Share on Facebook

Srinagar, Feb 4: Jammu and Kashmir High Court has stayed a government circular issued by the Inspector General of Registration, J&K regarding stamp duty on 30 December last year.

The Circular requires all Registrars and Sub-Registrars to charge stamp duty as per new rates with effect from 1 January 2021 irrespective of the date of uploading of documents onto the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS), date of filing of the documents with the Registrars/Sub-Registrars.

“In the meantime, the impugned circular issued by the Inspector General of Registration, J&K, Jammu is stayed,” said a bench of Justice Sanjay Dhar passed the orders after hearing a petition filed by one Shabnam Nazir who contended through her lawyer that date of the execution of a document determines the rate at which stamp duty has to be affixed on a document and not the date on which, the document is actually registered by the Sub-Registrar.

To support the contention, her counsel referred to Section 47 of Registration Act, according to which, a document, irrespective of date of its registration, takes effect from the date of its execution.
