Yes Jayesh, it is mandatory to pay stamp duty and it is an offence not to do so. For more info, you may look up IRAS portal.

Hi Mr. Jayesh,

It is mandatory to pay stamp duty for the tenancy agreement, and this shall be stamp within 7 days from the date signed. A monetary penalty will be imposed on late submission. For detail pls refer to IRAS.gov.sg.

This is so that both parties; landlord and tenant acknowledge that the agreement is legally recognize in case this is brought up to court if there are any disputes.
