E-Stamp India Guide: How to Use E-Stamp for Real Estate Deals
E-Stamping is an electronic method of paying stamp duty, which is a mandatory tax levied on legal documents such as property sale deeds, lease agreements, and mortgage documents. This system was introduced to reduce the risks associated with counterfeit stamp papers and to streamline the documentation process.
The India e-stamp system was developed by the Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL), which acts as the central record-keeping agency. E-stamping ensures that the stamp duty is paid securely and transparently, offering an alternative to traditional physical stamp papers.
