The amendment on uniform stamp duty has become effective from July 1, stock exchanges will collect stamp duty on trading stocks and commodities on exchanges, while depositories will collect on off-market (unlisted) transactions, and deposit the proceeds with the central government, which will then be divided among states. While the earlier rules gave advantage to some states as they offered lower rates for companies to get incorporated, the new rules will bring in parity among all states.
Coming specifically to transfer of unlisted shares, they were earlier exempt but require payment of stamp duty from 1st July.

The stamp duty rate for transfer of security other than debenture on delivery basis has been notified at 0.015% of the total consideration value.
