E-stamp paper (electronic stamp paper) is the digital replacement for traditional physical stamp paper in India. It is issued by SHCIL (Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd) — the Central Record Keeping Agency (CRA) appointed by the Government of India — or by state-authorised vendors.
Each e-stamp certificate carries a Unique Identification Number (UIN) that can be verified online, making it tamper-proof. Documents executed on e-stamp paper are legally valid across India under the Indian Stamp Act 1899 and relevant state stamp acts.

Generate Legal Notice →Yes. Under Section 17 of the Registration Act 1908, only leases exceeding 12 months need compulsory registration. An 11-month rent agreement on stamp paper of the correct value is legally valid and admissible as evidence in court, even without Sub-Registrar registration. However, it is advisable to register it for added protection.
No. Each e-stamp certificate has a unique UIN and can only be used once. You cannot photocopy or reuse an e-stamp certificate. Each new document needs a fresh e-stamp paper purchase.
An e-stamp certificate is valid for 6 months from the date of issuance (as per SHCIL rules). The document must be executed (signed) within this period. After 6 months, the e-stamp expires and a fresh one must be purchased.
An under-stamped (deficiently stamped) document cannot be used as evidence in court proceedings unless the deficient duty + penalty is paid. The penalty for deficient stamp duty is typically 2–10 times the deficient amount, depending on the state. Stamp duty officers can impound under-stamped documents.
No. Through online platforms like LegalDesk, Leegality, Legistify, or SHCIL's own portal, you can purchase e-stamp paper and have the printed document delivered to your address, or receive a digital e-stamp certificate. Some states also support Aadhaar-based digital execution (DigiLocker + e-sign) without any physical presence.
