Re: stamp duty

Apply to the concerned Collector of Stamps and have stamp duty paid. You also need to register the document as it is for transfer of immovable property having value of more than Rs.100/-.

Re: stamp duty

Your querry do not mention as to on which document the stamp duty has not been paid. What are the documents of ownership in favour of the person you are buying property from. I presume that you are NRI since you said you are planning to buy property in India so the deal must be big. In All such deals the papers of ownership of the seller must be closely scrutinized. It is advisable that all the documents of title of the property with seller are examined by a good lawyer or you send those to me after scanning.
