E-Stamping will become mandatory in Haryana from March 1, a step taken by the state government to provide a hassle-free, citizen-centric and secure way to make payment of non-judicial stamp duty. Earlier, e-stamping was made mandatory only in four districts - Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonepat and Panchkula, Haryana Finance Minister Abhimanyu said here today. "Stamp vendors will generate non-judicial stamp paper up to Rs 10,000 per person through e-Stamping module only," the Minister said in an official release. Any depositor could make payment for generation of e-Stamp paper by using payment aggregator service on Electronic Government Receipt Accounting System (E-GRAS) portal or manual payment on E-GRAS portal, he added. Giving further details, he said the payment aggregator service had been implemented with Punjab National Bank, IDBI Bank and State Bank of India with effect from May 2, 2015.
