What is E-Stamp Paper?

E-stamp paper is the digital replacement for traditional physical stamp paper in India. Issued by SHCIL (Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd) — the Central Record Keeping Agency appointed by the Government of India — or by state-authorised vendors. Each certificate carries a Unique Identification Number (UIN) verifiable online, making it tamper-proof and court-admissible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. E-stamp paper is legally valid under the Indian Stamp Act 1899. E-stamps issued by SHCIL carry a Unique Identification Number (UIN) verifiable online. All 28 states and 8 UTs have adopted e-stamping, and courts have upheld e-stamped documents in multiple judgments.
Yes. Under Section 17 of the Registration Act 1908, only leases exceeding 12 months need compulsory registration. An 11-month rent agreement on correctly-stamped paper is legally valid and admissible as evidence in court without Sub-Registrar registration. However, registering it provides greater protection against disputes.
An e-stamp certificate is valid for 6 months from the date of issuance per SHCIL rules. The document must be signed and executed within this period. After 6 months, a fresh e-stamp must be purchased.
An under-stamped document cannot be used as evidence in court unless the deficient duty plus penalty is paid. The penalty is typically 2–10 times the deficient amount, depending on the state. Stamp duty officers can impound under-stamped documents during registration.
No. Each e-stamp certificate has a unique UIN and can only be used once. Photocopying or reusing is not permitted — each new document requires a fresh e-stamp purchase.
E-stamping generates a digital certificate with a UIN verifiable online via SHCIL or state portals. Franking is an older method where a machine physically imprints the stamp duty amount at an authorised bank or sub-registrar office. E-stamping is more secure and increasingly mandatory; franking is being phased out in most states.
No. Through online platforms like LegalDesk, Leegality, or SHCIL's portal, you can purchase e-stamp paper and have the printed document delivered to your address or receive a digital certificate. Some states also support Aadhaar-based digital execution via e-sign without any physical presence.
