About this tool
Work out the fewest non-judicial stamp papers that add up to a required stamp duty amount, plus any unavoidable excess.
The Stamp Paper Denomination Splitter turns a stamp duty figure into the exact set of non-judicial stamp papers you should ask the vendor for, using the fewest sheets and the smallest unavoidable overshoot. It solves the ladder of printed face values (Re.1 up to Rs.25,000) as an unbounded coin-change problem rather than a greedy split, so the answer is genuinely the minimum. It is built for buyers, tenants, advocates' clerks and anyone about to execute an agreement on physical paper.

India Security Press prints non-judicial stamp paper in Re.1, Rs.2, Rs.5, Rs.10, Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500, Rs.1,000, Rs.5,000, Rs.10,000, Rs.15,000, Rs.20,000 and Rs.25,000. In practice most vendors only stock Rs.10 and above, and availability of the higher values varies by state and by counter.
Yes. Where a single sheet does not cover the duty, the instrument is executed across multiple papers whose face values add up to at least the amount chargeable, with the document text continuing across the sheets. Practice on numbering and signing every sheet varies by state, so follow what your sub-registrar accepts.
Under section 35 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 an instrument that is not duly stamped is not admissible in evidence until the deficit duty and a penalty are paid. The penalty can be several times the shortfall, which is why paying a small excess is the safer error. Consult an advocate on the position in your state.
Generally no once the paper has been used. Most states allow a refund only for spoiled or unused stamp paper, within a limited window and after a deduction — so it is worth minimising the overshoot at the point of purchase. Check your state's stamp rules for the exact procedure.
