Section 69: Deduction to be made

Where allowance is made under this Act for damaged or spoiled stamps or where fee already paid is directed to be refunded to any person by an order of Court, the Collector may, on the application of the person concerned, pay to him the amount of fee, or, where damaged or spoiled stamps are produced, he may, after satisfying himself about their genuineness, give in lieu thereof the same amount or value in stamps of the same or any other description, or if the applicant so desired, the same amount or value in money: provided that in all cases where money is paid in cash, a deduction shall be made of six naye paise for each rupee or fraction thereof. No such deduction shall however be made where refund is claimed in respect of any fee paid in pursuance of an order of Court which has been varied or reversed in appeal.
