Administration focuses on e-stamping facility
Jalandhar, February 13
The district administration has strictly implemented the e-stamping facility for the registration of properties. To curtail malpractice of selling of old stamp papers, the district administration has seized manual sale registers from all stamp vendors across the district so that no one can issue old stamp papers to anyone in previous dates. Likewise, the old stamps have also been taken back from the vendors and the refund would be credited to their bank accounts after a thorough procedure.
