THIS PAGE OF TAXGURU HAS A WRONG ANSWER.
THERE IS NO VALIDITY FOR STAMP PAPER. INTERPRETATION OF S.52(B) GIVEN HERE IS WRONG.
HERE IS THE QUESTION AND THE RIGHT ANSWER:
Q. Is there a time frame within which the Stamp Paper must be used?
Ans. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TIME FRAME WITHIN WHICH A STAMP PAPER HAS TO BE USED.
SECTION 52 WHICH HAS BEEN QUOTED HERE DEALS WITH “MISUSED STAMPS” i.e stamp which has been used by mistake ON A document/transaction etc. where there was no need for using SUCH STAMP PAPER OR THAT PARTICULAR VALUE OF THAT stamp paper eg., a documents requires no stamp paper, but rs. 10 stamp paper has been used, OR a document requires rs. 10 stamp paer but by mistake rs. 100 has been used
According to section 52 (A) AND SECTION 52 (B), a stamp paper USED BY MISTAKE IN A DOCUMENT may be reused if Collector allows such use. However an application has to be made to the collector within six (6) months from the date of the document or from the date of execution of SUCH document where the stamp paper has been used and he has to be shown that such stamp paper has been used by mistake and so on ….
there are also other provision which deals with refund of money for stamp paper used by mistake. section 53 says that if stamp paper was used by mistake or has got spoiled the collector may reissue such stamp paper or may refund the money.
