How Gujarat computes it
NDAs & general agreements
A flat ₹300. This covers NDAs, service agreements, and most contracts without their own schedule entry.
Why it matters
An under-stamped agreement is inadmissible as evidence (Section 35, Indian Stamp Act, 1899) and can be impounded, with a penalty of up to 10× the deficit under Section 40. Stamping correctly at execution costs a fraction of fixing it during a dispute.

Is the deposit included in Gujarat stamp duty?
Yes — Gujarat brings the security deposit into the duty base.
How much is rent agreement stamp duty in Gujarat?
Dharaa does not yet hold a verified lease schedule for Gujarat, so we will not quote a rate here. Confirm the current figure with the local Sub-Registrar's office or the state revenue portal before you buy stamp paper. The 2025 amendment introduced a nominal fixed duty below one year and deleted Article 30A without replacement, so commercial leave & licence is genuinely unsettled. Confirm on GARVI before executing.
What does an NDA cost to stamp in Gujarat?
₹300 in Gujarat. An NDA carries no monetary consideration, so it attracts the flat agreement duty rather than an ad-valorem rate.
