From April 1, all stamp papers used for non-judicial purposes, regardless of denomination, will be able to be electronically stamped.
The sale of stamp papers with denominations up to Rs. 1 lakh must go through authorised stamp merchants, according to a government decree. In this regard, the government has enacted regulations. The department’s PEARL application had undergone the necessary adjustments, the Registration department said.
The sale of stamp papers currently stocked with state treasuries and vendors could continue for a period of six months starting on April 1, 2023, even though e-stamping would be implemented for stamp papers with denominations up to Rs. 1 lakh.
In one particular sub-registrar office in each of the districts, the e-stamping of stamp papers with denominations up to Rs. 1 lakh will begin on April 1. Beginning on May 2, 2023, it will be introduced throughout the State.
