e-Stamping
State-specific electronic stamp procurement with quick turnaround for enterprise document volumes.
What it is
Understanding e-Stamping
e-Stamping replaces the physical sheet with an electronic stamp certificate carrying a unique identification number, generated through the authorised central record-keeping system in states that have adopted it. Because the certificate is verifiable against that record, it removes the two oldest problems with physical paper: counterfeiting, and arguments about whether a sheet was genuine.
Not every state supports it, and those that do differ in which instruments qualify. We work out what applies to your document, procure the certificate, and return it against your reference, so the digital route is used wherever it is available to you, and the physical route only where it is still required.

Procurement
Stamp papers, franking, e-stamping, eSBTR or adhesive stamps sourced through our vendor network in that state.

Instruments are executed and checked against the order before anything leaves the vendor.

Delivery
Dispatched to the location you nominate, tracked against your order reference throughout.

Billing
One consolidated GST invoice across every state and every mechanism, however many orders it covers.
State regulations note Service availability depends on each state's applicable regulations and stamping mechanisms, and we cover more states on request. Applicability and availability of e-Stamping are determined by the stamp duty regulations of the state in which the document is executed.
