Labour contract on Company Letter Head

[Gourav Arora]

Experts

Whether labour agrrement or contract made on company letter head can be enforced in court in case of any dispute? which law manadete the Non judical stamp paper for any agreement.?

[CAGOPALJI AGRAWAL]

It is the state law with regard to stamp duty which govern the levy of stamp charges. The non payment of the same to my view does not affect the agreement enforceability as it is a contract as per Contract Act.

AI Summary

Stamp duty obligations: absence of judicial stamp does not necessarily defeat enforceability of a contract under general contract law. Agreements on company letterhead are contracts under the Contract Act and ordinarily enforceable; stamp duty is governed by state stamp law, and non-payment of the prescribed stamp does not per se negate the contract's enforceability, affecting stamp-law consequences rather than the contract's basic validity.
