You can file a police complaint regarding the same and do newspaper publication. After that no one can misuse it. Even if misused you can defend it in court

To prove that any document is fake, you need to first get a complaint filed before the police regarding the same. Since it is a document which is almost one year old, it is possible that there would be huge difference in the written and the signed writing and the same is visible from bare eyes. further, it is not possible to inform or intimate court before itself but yes you can file a missing document or theft complaint before the area police station. 

I don't think that anyone can take advantage of your paper. One can take advantage only if that person knows you. Then he may know your assets etc. Otherwise a thief cannot know where your property is and how to take advantage. Therefore do not worry.

An instrument to be duly stamped (i) must bear the proper description of stamp, (ii) the stamp must be of the proper amount; and

(iii) the stamp must be affixed or used according to the law or rules for the time being in force in India, and properly cancelled. In determining whether a document is sufficiently stamped for the purpose of deciding upon its admissibility in evidence, the Court will look at the document as it stands and not at any collateral circumstances which may be shown in evidence. When the question is, whether a document bears a sufficient stamp, the document must be looked at as it stands. Therefore, every instrument which is required to be stamped is said to be duly stamped if the instrument bears adhesive or impressed stamp of not less than the proper amount.

2) in your case if instrument is not stamped it would not be valid promissory note 

A plain paper containing only signature and nothing else cannot be converted into a promissory note. 

However if a person intends to create a fake or fraudulent document may go to any extent for forging a document as mentioned by you. 

You can challenge the same as per law and merits if at all you are implicated in any such false case. 

Than its not promissory note and no one can use it that plain paper. 

Yes it can be done but it has to be duly stamped on stamp paper otherwise it will not be valid

2. A common practice does not become a law.

No, it is not a valid promissory note 

Hello,

1. For a promissory note to be valid, there is no requirement of a revenue stamp and cross signature as suggested by you. It is an undertaking or promise to fulfill certain promise in future.Your valid signature is all that matters. For instance, " I promise to pay so and so Rs.5,00,000/- on demand " with  a signature is a valid promissory note.
2. Follow the precautionary steps suggested.

- Yes, this signed paper can be used for the recovery of loan amount as well , after showing your declaration to pay a loaned amount , as earlier i was contesting such similar type of matter .

- It is also correct that the age of signing on the paper can be compared with the contents written on the said blank paper through an expert , and before the court such expert suggestion is also admissible. 

- Since, you have lost your bag in this months , then also you should give a written complaint for your safety , before the police after narrating the incidence and the possibility of using the said papers by any unknown person in future. 

- Under the stamp Act, the revenue stamp is not mandatory should be crossed by signature , it can be only crossed for showing that the stamp has already been used with the affixing paper.

Dear Client,

You can file a complaint before police station regarding this.

Go through the answer. Already replied. It can not be made on white paper.

Precaution is:

 ..... Immediately you should lodge police complaint about loss of bag and give details of contents thereof, retain acknowledge copy of complaint and receipt obtained from police. 

If any fraud / fake document is prepared, you can take shelter under above complaint.

Reply to your second Post:

No, your apprehension is wrong.  It cannot be done.

However, if anything of that sort happens, you will have defense, as stated above by lodging police complaint etc..

Yes it is valid even if a revenue stamp is not affixed on it. But only if the person knows you then it is probable.

1. Yes anyone with bad intentions can make fake promissory note and other purpose but he also have to forged your signatures on Revenue stamp on promissory note. 

2. You can give a Non cognizable report to police stating loss of your purse and belongings which include signed blank paper. 

You need not to worry but in case there is any problem then you have to report to the police that forcefully they have got the signature on a white paper and that can be misused so that in future if that paper is being used for any purpose other than then you will have to safeguard to for the promissory note and other things stamp paper is required to be signed

Section 2(2 3) of the Indian Stamp Act 1899 makes it mandatory for affixing of stamp on any receipt as defined therein above Rs 5000 .

2. I would like to apprise you that no one can just simply is the same paper for there benefits to put some liability on you as if that person happens to do the same then also he will have to show as to when he met you or how does he know you or why did he lend something to you, and the same is very difficulty for the person to prove and he will be guilty of false cases and will be sent to jail also.
3. Lastly, please register a lost report of your bag specifically mentioning the blank paper in it and that too was signed.
4. And yes, all above assumptions are correct as mentioned by you above about the ink etc.
