E-stamp paper

E-stamp paper is the digital version of the paper stamp that proves stamp duty has been paid on an agreement.

( SCROLL ↓ )

In Karnataka, it is bought and verified online through Kaveri Online Services, the state's Stamps and Registration Department portal, rather than from a vendor or a cooperative bank. The same portal now lets you draft the rental agreement, e-sign it with Aadhaar, pay the stamp duty, and download the finished document, without a visit to any office. It carries the same legal weight as stamp paper bought in person, as long as the duty paid matches what the agreement needs. We draft the agreement and generate its e-stamp together, so there is no separate errand after a home is agreed.

E-stamp paper

A rental term, explained for Bengaluru.

A term is defined from the statute or from the practice, with the source named beside it. Where Bengaluru's practice differs from the law, the page says so rather than choosing one.

Send this page to whoever you are moving with; a home is usually chosen by two people at eleven at night. The next step is one message to the desk with the budget, the size and the office.

The glossary knows the word. The desk knows the home.
