Proper Stamp Value for Partnership Deed in Rajasthan

 


Introduction

A Partnership Deed is a crucial legal document that defines the roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing ratio among partners in a partnership firm. In Rajasthan, like in other Indian states, the deed must be executed on stamp paper of proper value as per the Rajasthan Stamp Act, 1998. An incorrect stamp duty can lead to legal issues and rejection of documents by authorities, including the GST department during registration.

Importance of Proper Stamp Duty

The correct stamp duty ensures that the partnership deed is legally enforceable and accepted by government departments, banks, and courts. If executed on insufficient stamp paper, the deed may be considered invalid or subject to penalties.

Stamp Duty for Partnership Deed in Rajasthan

The stamp duty on a partnership deed in Rajasthan is determined based on the capital contribution of the firm. Below is the applicable stamp duty:

Capital Contribution (₹)Stamp Duty (₹)
Up to ₹50,000₹500
₹50,001 to ₹2,00,000₹1,000
₹2,00,001 to ₹5,00,000₹2,000
₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000₹4,000
Above ₹10,00,000₹4,000 + 0.2% of excess amount

Additionally, a notary or registration fee may apply if the deed is registered with the Sub-Registrar Office.

Is Notarization or Registration Mandatory?

  • Notarization: Though not legally mandatory, it is advisable to notarize the partnership deed for added authenticity.

  • Registration: If the firm is registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, the partnership deed must be registered with the Registrar of Firms (RoF) in Rajasthan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Using insufficient stamp duty – This may lead to rejection by authorities like the GST department.

  2. Using e-Stamp Paper from another state – Rajasthan requires stamp duty paid as per its state laws.

  3. Skipping notarization or registration – While not mandatory, these steps add credibility.

  4. Not including all partners' signatures – Ensure all partners sign on the correct stamp value paper.

Conclusion

To avoid legal complications, businesses in Rajasthan must execute their Partnership Deed on the correct stamp paper based on their capital contribution. This ensures compliance with GST registration requirements and other legal processes. Consulting a CA or legal expert can help in ensuring correct execution.
