What is the procedure to be followed after a document is impounded?

A public officer impounding a document will send it to the concerned Collector (District Registrar) to determine the stamp duty to be paid. The District Registrar will determine the stamp duty to be paid after giving an opportunity to the party concerned to put forth his arguments on the duty to be paid. He may levy a penalty which may range from a minimum of Rs. 5/- or up to ten times of the deficit total duty to be paid.
