No Stamp Duty Waiver: Recovery Action Against Amadea Enterprises for Unpaid Dues

Pune: The state registration department has dismissed any possibility of a stamp duty waiver and will initiate coercive recovery proceedings against Amadea Enterprises LLP if it fails to clear the pending dues related to a land registration in Mundhwa by February 10, 2023, senior officials announced on Tuesday.

There is no question of a waiver. The order passed by the department is final and binding. If the amount is not paid within the stipulated time, forceful recovery action will be taken, a senior registration department official told the media. Amadea Enterprises LLP, in which Digvijay Patil and Parth Pawar, son of the late deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, are partners, is required to pay a stamp duty shortfall of Rs 21 crore for the sale deed executed in May 2025.

In addition to the Rs 21 crore, a statutory penalty calculated at 1% per month amounts to Rs 21 lakh per month, totaling Rs 1.47 crore for seven months up to November 2025. Together, the total dues come to Rs 22.47 crore, officials explained. This amount will further increase as the penalty for December and January has not yet been accounted for.

In November 2025, the department issued a demand notice and granted the firm a 60-day window from December 10 to pay the dues. The recovery measures would include the attachment and auction of the firm's movable and immovable properties, as stipulated under the Maharashtra Stamp Act.

Officials emphasized that the department's stance follows its final order, which rejected Amadea Enterprises LLP's plea seeking exemption from the stamp duty liability. The order reiterates that the full deficit amount, along with penalties, must be paid. This decision underscores the department's commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring compliance with the Maharashtra Stamp Act.

The case has drawn significant attention due to the involvement of high-profile individuals and the substantial amount of unpaid dues. The registration department's decision to take strong action is seen as a clear message to other entities that they must adhere to the legal requirements for property transactions and tax payments.

As the deadline approaches, all eyes are on Amadea Enterprises LLP to see if they will meet the financial obligations or face the consequences of non-compliance. The outcome of this case could have broader implications for the real estate and legal sectors in Maharashtra, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in property transactions.
