The Haryana Government has decided to make E-Stamping mandatory in four districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat and Panchkula from May 1, 2016, in the first phase.

Finance Minister, Capt Abhimanyu on Thursday said in these districts, all other offices or agencies i.e. Treasury Office or Sub Treasury Office and authorised State Bank of India branches would stop selling Stamp Paper (Non Judicial). Stamp vendors would generate Stamp Papers (Non Judicial) up to `10,000 per person only through e-Stamping module, he added.

He said any citizen could generate stamp paper online through E-Stamping system, which is available on website egrashry.nic.in. This system is implemented in two parts. The first part makes the payment for stamp papers in the relevant receipts head whereas the second part generates E-Stamp paper through E-Stamp portal after online confirmation of payment.

The Finance Minister said after successful payment through Payment Aggregator Services by using net banking or Credit Card or Debit Card and Manual Payment through draft or cash after generating requisite challan on Electronic Government Receipt Accounting System (E-GRAS) portal, the depositors could generate online E-Stamp papers immediately and seek the date of registration for Revenue Authority by using Haryana Registration Information System (HARIS) portal.

He said E-GRAS has been implemented all over the State and is running successfully. The Revenue Authority,

after verifying the payment online through E-GRAS portal, would register the document and the system would automatically deface the E-Stamp and corresponding Government Receipt Number (GRN) online to avoid duplicity.
