• Upload the Form (Form1, Form5 and Form 44).
• The Stake holder will be able to view both the MCA21 Service and Stamp duty fee.
• Stakeholder can make payment of Stamp duty either by offline mode (Challan) or online mode (Credit card/Net banking).
• For offline mode of payment the challan for electronic Stamp duty will be generated as a separate page in the same file (PDF) as the MCA21 service fee challan.
• For online mode of payment the MCA21 service fee has to be paid first and then the system will redirect the stakeholder to pay Stamp duty fee. If the stakeholder wishes to proceed to pay the Stamp duty he/she has to select ”Stamp duty payment” option.
  Once the stake holder selects ”Stamp duty payment”,option he/she would be directed to the payment option screen. He/She can either make the payment offline (Challan) or online mode (Credit card/Net banking). The SRN generated for Stamp duty will be affixed with “D” e.g. D00007443.
  
• If the stakeholder does not wish to proceed with the Stamp duty payment at this stage, he/she can view the receipt of MCA21 service fee and pay Stamp duty later as explained below.
• The stakeholder can pay the Stamp duty by clicking on the “Pay stamp duty fee” option available under the Services menu as shown below. Stake holder can pay the Stamp duty through this link only if the service fee payment has been confirmed. Further the stakeholder would be required to provide the SRN of the service fee (“B” series SRN) before proceeding for payment of stamp duty fee.
