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?
