Stamp duty is a part of the state revenue system and the rates of stamp duty that are applicable to the trading of Securities and Commodities vary from state to state.

The central government introduced changes to the Stamp Duty Act last year by introducing a uniform rate of stamp duty to apply on the trading of securities and commodities across all the states in India.

While uniform rates were to become applicable from 9th January 2020, this effect was postponed to 1st April 2020, and then due to the pandemic situation was further extended to 1st July 2020.
