Relationship Between A Partnership Deed And Real Estate And Property Issues
A Partnership deed is a significant legal document in property problems since it aids in the legal resolution of any disagreement if the partnership is involved in any form of dispute. This is the goal of designing a Partnership deed that includes important facts such as the rights and duties of both partners. It also includes terms and circumstances that aid in the resolution of the issue.
Stamp duty and registration fees for partnership deeds
The partnership deed is subject to stamp duty charges, which must be paid in accordance with Section 46 of the Indian Stamp Act of 1899. While stamping fees vary by state, the deed must be notarized on non-judicial stamp paper for a minimum of Rs 200.
For example, the minimum stamp duty on a partnership deed in Delhi is Rs 200, but the stamp duty in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore is Rs 500. In Gujatat, the stamp duty is 1% of the partnership capital, with a limit of Rs 10,000.
