Twoseparate receipts to be given.A joint receipt given by a Government servant for a sum in excess ofRs. 160, is for his own salary part which, not exceeding Rs. 160 is for hisown salary and the rest for a contingent allowance which he receives forexpenditure on behalf of Government, is not liable to stamp duty. Such areceipt is really two receipts in one. It is receipt given by him in hispersonal character for his salary and it is a receipt given by him in officialcapacity for money with which he is entrusted on behalf of Government.Separate receipts should, however, be invariably given for money receivedby an officer on his own account and for money drawn for expenditure onbehalf of Government (G.R. No. 7508, dated 20th September 1884).2.Stamped receipts not necessary when an officer of a Civil Courtreceives back the money paid to a Government Treasury for Custody.8

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTSPROPER STAMP DUTYWhen a Civil Court attaches money in the hands of Government, payableby Government of a person against whom a decree has been passed by theCivil Court, it is not necessary that the Civil Court should give to theGovernment officer in whose possession the money is, a receipt on a onerupee stamp before that money can be paid to the Court executing thedecree. Such receipts are exempted from stamp duty under article 15(b) ofSchedule 11 to the Stamp Act (1 of 1879) (now article 1) If money whichhas been attached under Section 272 of the Civil Procedure Code, isafterwards paid into the Court which attached it, the payment is a paymentof money without consideration it is a mere transfer of the money from thecustody of one authority to another, in order that the letter may disburse itto the party or parties entitle to it. (LR. No. 519 dated 7th April 1892, videG.R. J.D. No. 2443 dated 6th May 1892 and G.M. No. 4423, dated 25thidem).3.Local Bodies(a) MunicipalitiesReceipts for sums exceeding Rs. 160 passed by the Municipalities onaccount of house tax are liable to stamp duty.Receipts passed by municipalities on account of house tax and cesses, &c.,for sums exceeding Rs. 160 are not exempt from stamp duty. Article 15(b)of the schedule II to the Stamp Act (now Article 1) exempts from stampduty a receipt for payment of money “without consideration”. Theexemption was intended apparently to apply to receipts for “voluntary”payments which in the ordinary legal acceptation of the terms are paymentswithout consideration, such as payments made merely in consideration ofnatural love or affection or mere gifts. But the receipts in question are forpayment of house rent c., due to the Municipality under the Act constitulingthe Municipality. The payment is not gratuitous, but one in satisfaction ordischarge of a legal obligation imposed by the Act, and in order or relievethe payer from the consequence which would ensue in case of hiscommitting default and is therefore, not one without “consideration”. (G.R.No. 586, dated 1st September, 1887).(b) Local Boards.Receipts and cheques executed by officers of Local Board not exemptsfrom duty.Under Section 50 of the Local Boards Act, money required by a LocalBoard to provide or replenish a permanent advance can only be drawn fromthe Government Treasury by cheque. Rule 46 of the Bombay Local Board’s9

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTSPROPER STAMP DUTYRules prescribes the form of cheque. It may be doubted whether this orderis properly designated a cheque as defined in the General Stamp Acct. Onthe ground that, in the case of Local Funds which under section 44 of theAct, Government is bound to keep, it cannot be said to be acting as abanker. But even if this doubt is correct, the document fulfils the conditionsof a bill of exchange as defined in Section 5 of Act XXVI of 1881 and isequally liable, if for more than Rs. 160 to a stamp duty of one rupee (or tworupees) under Article 11 (a) of Schedule 1 of the General Stamp Act (nowarticle 1).There is no rule which requires that first cheque drawn for money requiredto begin a permanent advance to be accompanied by any receipt at all. Inthe absence of any such rule, any demand for a receipt seems irregular. Itwould be quite sufficient if the cheque were merely accompanied by amemorandum stating the purpose for which the money was required, butnot in the form of a receipt. If however, for any reason a writtenacknowledgment of the receipt of money (over Rs. 160) is given by theofficer drawing the cheque, it must be stamped, as it appears to be a receiptas defined in the General Stamp Act.As regards money drawn to recoup advances, Rule 45 prescribes exactlywhat documents must accompany the cheque, viz. a bill supported by subvouchers. There is nothing requiring the receipt of the officer who drawsthe money, and the bill which he sends should not be in the form of areceipt, if for any reason he does give a written acknowledgement of receiptof money (over Rs. 160) it must be stamped, but his doing so seems quitesuperfluous.For the reasons given by the Adocate General of Bengal, (quoted in G.R.No. 2759, dated 26th September 1885) documents executed by officers ofLocal Boards are liable to stamp duty (L.R. No. 690, dated 20th May 1887,vide G.R. No. 4021, dated 2nd July 1887).Receipt Drawn on account of an Incorporated Local Fund liable tostamp duty.Extract para 2 of G.I. Letter No. 3429 S. R. dated 28th July 1889.“It will be seen that the fund is an Incorporated Local Fund, deriving itsrevenue from the cess levied under section 6 of Bombay Actg IV of 1881for local purpose. Receipts drawn on account of such a fund are chargeablewith stamp duty when the value exceeds Rs. 160.” (Vide G.R. No. 6078,dated 30th August 1899).10

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTSPROPER STAMP DUTY(c) Karachi Port TrustReceipts granted by Karachi Port Trust in excess of Rs. 160 on accountof wharfage fees liable to stamp duty.Receipts for sums in excess of Rs. 160 on account of wharfage fees, & c.,granted by the Karachi Harbour Board are liable to stamp duty andGovernment do not see any reason to exempt such receipts from thepayment of duty. (G.R. No. 4775, dated 11th June 1885).4. ExemptionEndorsement on Railway receipt sent through post exempt from stampduty.A one-rupee (or two rupees) receipts stamp is nto required on endorsementon railway receipts sent through the Post Office under the value payablesystem. (G.I.F. & C. No. 5198, dated 29th September 1887; vide G.R. No.7801, dated 14th November 1887).5. A receipt acknowledging the delivery of immovable property valuedmore than Rs. 160 not liable to stamp duty.A receipt acknowledging the delivery of immovable property valuedmore than Rs. 160 not liable to stamp duty under article 53 of schedule1 (now article) of the Act (L.R. No. 1078 dated 11th July 1902. G.R. No.285 dated 31st July 1902).2.Affidavit, including an affirmation or declarationFifty rupeesin the case of persons by law allowed to affirmor declare instead of swearing.EXEMPTIONSAffidavit or declaration in writing when made:(a)as a condition of enrolment under the Indian Army Act, 1911,or the Pakistan Army Act, 1952 or the Indian Air Force Act,1932, or the Pakistan Air Force Act, 1953;(b)for the immediate purpose of being filed or used in any Courtor before the office of any Court; or11

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTS(c)PROPER STAMP DUTYfor the sole purpose of enabling any person to receive anypension or charitable allowance.COMMENTARYFor the purpose of sub-section (3) of section 3 of the Ordinance, the proof ofbeing a non-Muslim will be constituted by a solemn affirmation to be witnessedby two persons and to be submitted in writing even on plain paper and the proofof being non-citizen of Pakistan will be constituted by a photo copy of thepassport accompanied by a soleman affirmation in writing even on plain paperthat the person does not hold the nationality of Pakistan (Clause 4 of Rule 4 of theZakat Deduction and Refund Rules, 1980).3.Agreement or Memorandum of an Agreement(a)if relating to the sale of transfer of aregistered motor vehicle;Five hundredrupees(b)if relating to the sale of an immovableproperty;Five hundredrupees(c)if relating to the re-conveyance ofmortgaged property;Five hundredrupees(d)if relating to the instrument of partnership or dissolution of partnership;Two thousandrupees(e)if not otherwise provided for;One hundredrupeesCOMMENTARY(i)Explanation. Where there is an absolute bonafide sale andconveyance, with collateral agreement for repurchase and reconveyance on repayment of purchase money, the latter agreementdoes not legally cancel the original deed of sale and covert the saleinto a mortgage; the re-conveyance on the repayment of the originalmoney should not, therefore, be considered a re-conveyance ormortgaged property within the meaning of article 53 (now 3) ofschedule 1 of the Stamp Act. (L.R. 065 dated 11th August 1885, videG.R. 6842 dated 22nd idem).12

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTS(ii)PROPER STAMP DUTYInterpretation of the words “such consideration” in col. 2 ofArticle 54. (now Article 3).Extract from the letter No. 179 dated 27th April 1907 from DistrictRegistrar, Sholapur.I have the honor to inform you that in the case of the conveyance thestamp duty levied by the Sub-Registrar appears to be correct, for thewords “such consideration” in column 2 of Article 54 of Sch. 1 ofthe Stamp Act refer, in my opinion, to the words “the considerationfor which the property was mortgaged” in column 1, and do notmean “the consideration of the re-conveyance.”Para 3 of Commissioner’s letter No. V.R. No. 881 dated 17th June1907 to Government.The Commissioner, however concurs in the opinion expressed by theCollector. The Inspector General of Registration reads the word ‘is’between ‘as’ and ‘set forth’ in the declaration of duty; but on theanalogy of the declaration under 55-Release (now 29) that word isnot to be read in.The Remembrance of Legal Affairs concurs with the Commissionerin his letter No. P. 1293 dated 20th July 1907 (G.R. No. 8137, datedthe 17th August 1907).(iii)Document is not an agreement but a will.“The document in question is a Will in which testatrix states that solong as she is living it will not hot be competent to her to dispose ofthe property. I do not think that the language employed can be heldto amount to a distinct agreement, because looking to the voluntarynature of a will it could not, I think, be construed into anything morethan an expression of the present determination of the testatrix not todispose of any part of the property before her death. The instrumentis in its principal intention a will; the mere incidental allusion whichif contains to the views of the testatrix as to her own future powerover the property, or as to her intention with regard thereto, cannot,in my opinion afford sufficient reasons for regarding it as anythingmore than a will.” (L.R. No. 400, dated 29th March 1881, vide G.R.No. 2125 dated 12th April 1881).13

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTS(iv)PROPER STAMP DUTYAgreements of the principal and his surety can be written on oneand the same paper.Under the ruling of the High Court of Bombay given at page 188 ofthe Indian Law Reports Bombay series Vol. V, there is no legalobjection to the agreements of the principal and his surety beingwritten on one and the same stamp paper, and treated as oneinstrument, and not as two separate agreements, each chargeablewith stamp duty. (L.R. No. 669 dated 12th June 1882, vide G.R. No.4391 dated 8th July 1882).(v)Counterpart agreements executed under section 31 Akbari Act,if not attested liable to stamp duty.Licenses under the Abkari Act do not require to be stamped.Counterpart agreements executed under section 31 of that Act, if notattested require a stamp of eight annas (now Rs. 50/-) under article 5(d) [now article 3 (e) ] of Schedule I of the Stamp Act 1899. (G.R.No. 4631 dated 1st September 1879 and G.R. No. 8916 dated 4thDecember 1893)/(vi)Indemnity bond given to Railway liable to stamp duty.Indemnity note given to Railway by a Consignee is not an indemnitybond within article 28 (now 10-A) but an agreement, Article 5 (d)[now article 3 (e)], chargeable only with rupees fifty stamp. (I.L.R. 5B 478).(vii)Exploring and prospecting licenseExploring and prospecting licenses are not leases for the purpose ofthe definition in Section 2, sub-section (16), of the stamp Act II of1899. A license does not become a lease merely because a rental isreserved. These licenses are chargeable as agreements with stampduty of eight annas (now Rs. 50/-) under article 5 (d) [now article 3(e)], of the stamp Act, II of 1899. (G.R.

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUMENTSPROPER STAMP DUTYEXEMPTIONSAssignment of copyright by entry made under the Copy-right Act, 914,Section 5.COMMENTARY1.Meaning of the word “conveyance”If a deed of sale of a mortgage right were a transfer of an interestsecured by a mortgage-deed it would fall under Article 60 (b) [(nowArticle 31(b)] of Schedule I of the Stamp Act. It is true that such atransfer is a ‘conveyance’. The term ‘conveyance’ is defined by theAct, Section 2 (9), to mean ‘an instrument by which property istransferred on sale, but Article 21 (now Article 16) of Schedule I,which covers ‘conveyance’ generally, expressly expect conveyanceswhich are transfers of the Kind mentioned in Article 60. But if themortgage interest transferred by the deed rested upon a verbalcontract merely; or if it was an equitable mortgage, Article 60 ofSchedule I would not apply, and the deed of sale would fall underarticle 21. (L.R. No. 1333, dated 23rd October 1883; vide G.R. No.7828, dated 22nd idem).2.Conveyance” Meaning of – Receipt mentioning fact of salestamp duty.The test to determine whether a document is a conveyance is to findout whether the intention of the parties was that the document shouldbe the sole repository and appropriate evidence of the transaction ofsale. If it is so, that Court must hold it to be a conveyance. But if itmerely recites a part accomplished fact, it is not a conveyance liableto be stamped or registered as such. A deed which merelyacknowledges as a fact that a right is v

account of house tax are liable to stamp duty. Receipts passed by municipalities on account of house tax and cesses, &c., for sums exceeding Rs. 160 are not exempt from stamp duty. Article 15(b) of the schedule II to the Stamp Act (now Article 1) exempts from stamp duty a receipt for payment of money “without consideration”. The
