The Uttar Pradesh government, to prevent the black-marketing of stamp papers during the panchayat elections, has allowed self-printing of e-stamps of the denominations of Rs 10, Rs 50, Rs 100 and Rs 500.
The Stamps and Registration Department has allowed the self-printing of stamp papers. Self-printing of e-stamp papers will be permitted only for the stamp papers up to Rs 500 only.
Official sources said a huge demand for stamp papers was expected during the panchayat elections as affidavits would have to be filed along with lakhs of nomination papers to be filed by the candidates for the three-tier panchayat institutions.
As per the new system formalised by the Stamps and Registration Department, the candidates, after depositing the money, can self-print the stamp papers from the website of the Stock Holding Corporation of India.
The candidate will have to make online payment to the Stock Holding Corporation of India. The person opting for the self-printing of the stamp papers will have to specify the purpose for which the stamp paper is being purchased.
