Pune: The state registration department has warned of initiating coercive recovery proceedings against Amadea Enterprises LLP, linked to deputy CM Ajit pawar‘s son Parth, if the firm did not clear its pending stamp duty dues by Feb 10. The move follows the department’s final order rejecting the firm’s plea seeking exemption from stamp duty liability related to the disputed Mundhwa land registration. The department reiterated that the entire deficit amount and the applicable statutory penalty were payable.Senior officials said the firm was liable to pay a stamp duty deficit of Rs 21 crore, along with a statutory penalty of Rs 1.47 crore, calculated at 1% per month up to Nov 2025. The penalty will continue to accumulate for Dec and Jan as well, they said.
“The order issued by the department on Dec 10 is final. The firm is required to make the payment within the stipulated 60-day period from the date of the notice. Failure to comply will lead to forceful recovery proceedings,” a senior official from the registration department told TOI on Saturday.The officials said recovery measures could include the attachment and auction of the firm’s movable and immovable assets, in accordance with provisions of the Maharashtra Stamp Act. “The sale deed was executed in May 2025, and the penalty is calculated at Rs 21 lakh per month. This amounted to Rs 1.47 crore for seven months up to Nov 2025, with additional penalties accruing for the subsequent months. The firm was given 60 days from Dec 10 to make the payment, with the deadline ending on Feb 10,” another official said.Amadea Enterprises LLP, with Digvijay Patil and Parth Pawar as partners, had earlier submitted a detailed representation claiming eligibility for exemption from the stamp duty shortfall. The registration department, however, rejected the submission in full, affirming that both the stamp duty and penalty must be paid in entirety.The officials clarified that the notice issued to the firm pertains only to the recovery of the Rs 21 crore stamp duty shortfall and did not relate to cancellation of the sale deed. As the district administration has already filed a civil suit seeking cancellation of the sale deed, the proposed cancellation deed amount of Rs 21 crore would no longer apply, since the matter will now be governed by compliance with the final civil court order, they said.The registration department’s five-member committee, chaired by joint inspector general of registration Rajendra Muthe, submitted its report in mid-Nov last year. The findings were forwarded to state govt for further action and are expected to be merged with the Kharge panel report, which is scheduled for submission next month following an extension granted earlier this week. Another senior official said based on the committee’s recommendations, letters were sent to other departments to strengthen transparency in the functioning of the registration machinery.
