Q. Which of the following Government gets the stamp duty collected on promissory notes?
Answer: State Government 100%
Notes: The correct answer is "State Government 100%." In India, stamp duty on promissory notes is governed by the Stamp Act of 1899, which allows state governments to levy stamp duty. Each state has the authority to set its own rates, and the revenue collected from stamp duty is retained entirely by the state government. This is a important source of revenue for states, contributing to their financial resources for development and public services.
