Hey there, folks! If you’ve been trying to get your hands on some Rs 100 stamp papers recently, you might have noticed that they’re a bit hard to come by. The Registration and Stamp Duty Department has suggested that citizens can use five Rs 100 stamp papers as an alternative, but stamp paper sellers are saying that even those are running low.
In the state, there are around 1100 stamp paper sellers who sell between 7-8 lakh stamp papers a year, with about 20% of those sales happening in Pune. The shortage seems to be due to a lack of manpower and the ongoing election work.
Unfortunately, this scarcity has led to some sellers taking advantage of the situation and charging inflated prices for these essential documents. While the Registration and Stamp Duty Department is aware of the problem, they believe that using alternative stamp papers can help alleviate the inconvenience for citizens.
So, if you’re in need of stamp papers, it might be a good idea to explore all your options and be prepared for potential price hikes. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation!
