Documents relating to Application for Amendment for additional palace of business

[Sarjeet Shekhawat]

I have applied for an amendment to include an additional place of business. However, the department is requesting a fresh agreement with stamp duty payment as per the Stamp Act. My question is, if my rent agreement is already notarized on a valid stamp (more than ₹500) and the agreement tenure is more than 11 months, can the department force me to pay additional stamp duty?

[Shilpi Jain]

No. See if you would want to escalate to higher authority in department regarding the non-addition of APB due to frivoulus reasons.

[Raam Srinivasan Swaminathan Kalpathi]

Off late, it has become very challenging to change place of business or to add additional place of business.  The documents are being scrutinised very minutely and any insignificant variation is rewarded with rejection.
