What is the proper value of Non judicial Stamp paper for executing an undertaking to pay Rs 41 Lakh to EPFO. I live in Karnataka and my EPFO regional office is in Maharashtra


A. Dear Client

Depending on the state in which it is done, the value of the non-judicial stamp paper used to execute an undertaking to pay Rs. 41 lakh to EPFO may change. For an undertaking to pay Rs. 41 lakh in Karnataka, the stamp duty is worth Rs. 1,230, or 0.3% of the amount.
