Prior to 1 July 2020, stamp duty rates and collection mechanisms varied significantly across states, with some states levying duty on both sides of a transaction, creating a fragmented and often non-transparent cost for traders. The Finance Act 2019 amended the Indian Stamp Act 1899 and introduced a uniform national framework for stamp duty on exchange-traded securities, effective 1 July 2020.</p>
