On Stamp Duty,
Well, this has been discussed many a times in these 400+ pages & you've extolled the "benefits" of you being in Karnataka & the Stamp Duty cap there, etc BUT the question is WHOM does it exactly benefit? Is it EVERYONE all the time? Hmm...
Well, State of Karnatata charges SD @
0.01% ie Rs.1/- for a turnover of
Rs.10,000 while it is @
0.001% ie Rs.1/- for a turnover of
Rs.1,00,000 in Maharashtra as the following article says.

So it means that a trader whose
daily turnover is 5 lacs is paying Rs.50/- of Stamp Duty with you while he could be paying Rs.5/- otherwise. Now, loss of Rs.45/- or even smaller losses, although not astronomical, are definitely worth considering & even smaller losses can add up over time, especially so when they're a RECURRING loss as is the case with SD.
The "benefit" of Karnataka's cap is only realized by traders whose
daily turnover is
50 lacs or above, everyone else will be suffering upto Rs.45/- of unnecessary loss on every such day when they trade & their turnover is below 50 lacs.
SO, my question to you is, will it be possible for you guys to set up a NAMESAKE office in Maharashtra (or some other state with similarly low SD) & then charge all the traders who happen to have a turnover of less than 50 lacs for the day as per that state's SD @0.001% while all the traders who've traded 50 lacs or more for the day can still avail the benefit of Karnataka's cap of Rs.50/-
I don't know if this can or can't be done but as you've said earlier in the thread, "A penny saved is a penny earned"
so
I thought that I should put forward this suggestion & see if something like this is feasible for you guys.
It could save some money for a lot of the traders who don't have a daily turnover of over 50 lacs.
