Fake stamp papers: Kerala to introduce e-stamping

The Kerala Government will introduce e-stamping in the wake of unearthing of fake stamp papers of several lakhs of rupees in the State.

Official sources today said police registered a FIR and started investigations following the unearthing of court-based racket that profited from submitting forged judicial stamp papers in lieu of actual payment of fee to the court to adjudicate on civil suits.

The government would introduce e-stamping, instead of non-judicial stamp papers within six months in the State,
the sources said.
