Stamps on affidavits in Maharashtra

Unable to locate the particular notification on the Maharahstra Government website, it is very difficult to locate notifications on government websites, first thing that NaMo government should do is to make it easy for people to locate their notifications, circulars, etc. for common man. However as per newspaper reports it seems that in Maharashtra stamp papers are not apparently needed for many certificates. I wonder why this was never publicised for 10 long years. Anyway in absence of a copy of the government circular have to rely on the newspaper clipping as per link given here

Apparently stamp papers not needed on affidavits or declarations made for obtaining caste certificate, income certificate, domicile certificate or nationality certificate.

The amendments have been made in the Bombay Stamps Act, 1958. The amendments must have been made via the Mah. Tax Laws (Levy, Amendment and Validation) Act, 2004, but the link here which is a 2004 amendment does not show any amendment for Bombay Stamp act, 1958 unless there has been another amendment in the same year 2004 or the amendments has been made in another year.

Looking at the Bombay Stamp Act Schedule as per this link here again one does not find any amendment in the Schedule in article 4 pertaining to affidavits.

So proceed with caution on this one.
