E-stamping

The Karnataka State Government introduced the e-stamping system in the state in 2008. The system was launched to tackle and prevent fraudulent practices in stamp paper-based registrations and transactions. The e-stamping system was launched in association with Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd (SHCIL).

E-stamping is a computer based stamp duty collection application. It offers a secure electronic method to stamp documents and prevents leakage of government revenue. The e-stamping system enables the storage of information in a protected electronic form and creates a central data bank for easy verification. With the e-stamping system, the Karnataka State Government and the public can generate online Management Information System (MIS) reports.
