The validity of a Non Judicial stamp paper is not barred by Time Limitation as per the Apex court in relation to its use. The Apex court clearly stated that NOWHERE in the Indian Stamp Act it is mentioned about the validity of the Stamp papers. The INDIAN STAMP ACT clearly mentions that if any person possess a stamp paper of which he has no immediate use can return the Stamp paper to the collector (provided that it is not spoiled, rendered unfit or useless) for seeking refund of the value of the stamp paper PROVIDED IT WAS PURCHASED WITHIN THE PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS NEXT PRECEDING TO THE DATE OF SURRENDER.. The stamp paper do not have any EXPIRY period. The stipulation period of 6 months is only for seeking refund of the value of the Stamp paper and NOT of it's use. There is no IMPEDIMENT FOR A STAMP PAPER PURCHASED MORE THAN 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF EXECUTION TO BE USED FOR DOCUMENTATION.

Dear client, The acceptability of having the first page of a contract or agreement mostly empty and including detailed terms and conditions on subsequent pages can depend on the laws and practices in your jurisdiction. Generally, it is recommended to have all parties sign or acknowledge each page of a contract to ensure that they are aware of and agree to all the terms and conditions. Regarding the use of an e-signature for the agreement, it's important to comply with the laws and regulations governing electronic signatures in your jurisdiction. Electronic signature laws vary by country and may have specific requirements for their validity. You may need to ensure that the e-signature process you are using adheres to these legal requirements. Not including page numbers throughout the document may not be a significant issue as long as the reference number of the stamp paper is clearly indicated on each page. However, it's generally good practice to include page numbers to maintain clarity and prevent any confusion or misplacement of pages. To ensure the validity and enforceability of the agreement, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional who can review the specific details of the agreement, stamp paper, and e-signature process you are using. They can provide guidance based on the applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction to ensure that your agreement is legally sound.

Hi, The stipulation of the period of six months prescribed in section 54 is only for the purpose of seeking refund of the value of the unused Stamp paper, and not for use of the Stamp paper. Section 54 does not require the person who has purchased a Stamp paper, to use it within six months. Therefore, there is no impediment for a Stamp paper purchased more than six months prior to the proposed date of execution, being used for a document.
