SAMHI Hotels Limited has received an order from the Collector of Stamp, GNCTD (Government of National Capital of Delhi) concerning the adjudication of stamp duty related to the issuance of certain shares in dematerialized form in 2023.
The order, dated 16th June 2026, determines a stamp duty liability of ₹16,27,532 and a penalty of ₹30,00,000, aggregating to ₹46,27,532. This matter arises from a dispute over the stamp duty rate applicable to the issuance of dematerialized shares under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as amended.

Several companies have filed writ petitions before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi regarding this issue, which are currently under judicial consideration. SAMHI Hotels states that the order will not materially impact its financial, operational, or other activities, with the maximum financial impact capped at the aggregated amount of duty and penalty imposed. The company is currently evaluating its next course of action.
