    • The rate of stamp duty on share certificates in Kolkata (West Bengal) is governed by the West Bengal Stamp Act, 1899. As per the current provisions of the Act, the stamp duty payable on share certificates issued by companies in Kolkata is as follows:

      1. For the issue of share certificates to shareholders - 0.1% of the market value of the shares (maximum stamp duty payable is INR 25,000).

      2. For the transfer of shares through physical share certificates - 0.5% of the market value of the shares (maximum stamp duty payable is INR 1,00,000).

      It is important to note that the stamp duty payable on share certificates may vary depending on the state or union territory in which the company is incorporated or the shares are being transferred. Companies should check the relevant stamp duty provisions in their respective states/union territories and ensure compliance with the stamp duty payment and filing requirements.
