The Maharashtra state registration department has refused to grant a waiver on stamp duty for a land transaction in Pune's Mundhwa area involving Amadea Enterprises LLP, where Parth Pawar, son of the late deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, is a partner. The firm owes a stamp duty shortfall of INR 21 crore along with monthly penalties totaling INR 1.47 crore for seven months, bringing current dues to INR 22.47 crore. The department has warned that failure to clear payments by the deadline will trigger coercive recovery actions, including property attachment and auction.
The Maharashtra state registration department has made it clear that Amadea Enterprises LLP cannot receive a waiver on pending stamp duty dues for a land deal in Pune's Mundhwa area. Officials confirmed that the firm must pay the outstanding amounts by the specified deadline, or the department will proceed with coercive recovery measures, including the attachment and auction of both movable and immovable assets under the Maharashtra Stamp Act.

Amadea Enterprises LLP, where Parth Pawar, son of the late deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, and Digvijay Patil are partners, had executed a sale deed for a 40-acre government land parcel in May 2025. The department identified a stamp duty shortfall of INR 21 crore. A statutory penalty calculated at 1% per month added INR 21 lakh per month, amounting to INR 1.47 crore for seven months until November 2025. This brings the total dues to INR 22.47 crore, with further penalties for December and January yet to be applied.
The registration department had issued a demand notice in November 2025, giving the firm a 60-day period starting from December 10 to pay the dues. Officials emphasized that their final order rejecting Amadea's plea for exemption is binding, and the full deficit, including penalties, must be cleared.
The matter has drawn attention due to procedural concerns about the land, which was government-owned. Authorities have scrutinized the transaction, and earlier investigations led to the suspension of a sub-registrar and FIRs against individuals involved in executing the documents. While Parth Pawar's name was not on the sale deed, his partnership in the firm makes him indirectly linked to the proceedings.
This case highlights the state's insistence on enforcing statutory compliance in high-value property transactions. The department's action underscores that even politically connected entities are subject to strict recovery measures if statutory obligations are not met.
