Dear Savita,

Stamp Duty Rate on issue and Transfer of Debenture certificate
In case of issue and transfer of Debenture Certificate, in case of issue, stamp duty @0.005% would be payable and in case of Transfer, stamp duty @0.0001% would be payable. Since transfer of debenture is the Central Matter hence same rate will be applicable all over India.

Further, the stamp duty can be paid through relevant adhesive stamp, which are available at indian post offices. In case of any query or help, feel free to contact at +91-7428522985 (CS Aarti Kumari) or Email at secretarialpro@yahoo.com.
