Issues of Buying Stamp Paper - Payment of Stamp Duty – eStamping – eCourtFee – eRegistration

This is rather long post. But could be easy reference point for those who find it difficult to buy stamp papers.

Law requires citizens to pay stamp duty to the central or state government when certain transactions take place, such as buying, selling or leasing property, business agreements, making deeds/ affidavits, etc, that has a financial aspect to it.

This payment is done through the purchase of stamp paper and is proof that the government has been paid its share. However, getting Stamp Paper is quite often difficult. Black marketeering is rampant. Next time, do not worry about getting stamp papers or paying bribes. Franking and eStamping are very convenient alternate forms of paying stamp duties.

There are 3 modes of payment of stamp duty :

1. Buy Stamp Paper, the traditional way : Using papers bearing impressed stamps (non-judicial stamp paper),
   1. These can be obtained from Post Office or an authorized Stamp Vendor. People often resort to buying stamp paper from an unlicensed vendor at the risk of purchasing counterfeit papers.
2. Franking : https://stampsregistration.gujarat.gov.in/stamp-duty-through-franking-machine
   1. In franking, one has to submit an application at an authorised bank or a franking agency. The document for which stamp duty is to be paid is printed on plain paper (before the parties sign it) and a stamp is affixed on the paper indicating the value of the stamp duty paid. The major benefit is that it is quick, especially if payment is made in cash or using a demand draft.
   2. Above URL contains the branch names & addresses of vendor banks authorized to franking of stamp duties.
3. eStamping : https://www.shcilestamp.com/ https://www.shcilestamp.com/estamp_stateguj.html
   1. The Indian government introduced e-stamping to tackle counterfeiting and make the payment of stamp duty easier and glitch free. Gujarat is one of the state where eStamping is implemented. In fact, in certain states, such as Delhi, all stamp duty needs to be paid through e-stamping.
   2. E-stamping is a computer based application and a secured electronic way of stamping documents. The prevailing system of physical stamp paper/ franking is being replaced by E-stamping system.
   3. Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL) is the only Central Record Keeping Agency (CRA) appointed by the Government of India.
   4. How to use ?
