About stamp duty
The Government publishes a schedule of stamp duty for various transactions and documents. You can pay it through e-stamp paper, now issued by banks and authorised centres, or through the traditional stamping done by the Collector of Stamps. The Collector route helps when the exact duty is not known to you and there is a chance of error.
We provide services for both ways of paying stamp duty.
