eStamping is a digital alternative to traditional paper-based stamping. It validates legal and financial documents electronically by using virtual stamps or seals instead of physical ones. eStamping saves time, reduces costs, and enhances document security by eliminating the need for physical stamps. We provide eStamping services for a large number of states of India. We provide 2 ways of doing eStamping.

In the stamping process, we help individuals acquire digital stamp papers from SHCIL (Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited) through authorized vendor partners called ACCs (Authorized Collection Centers). ACCs act as intermediaries between the CRA (Central Recordkeeping Agency) and the Stamp Duty payer. SHCIL serves as the CRA. Additionally, we streamline the process of obtaining physical stamp papers for states that still rely on them by digitizing the entire journey.

The eGRAS (Government Receipt Accounting System)/Franking is an online platform that allows users to make payments to the government for various services, including the purchase of stamp papers. Upon completing the payment, a challan is generated, serving as evidence of payment for the stamp papers. Subsequently, any amount from the challan can be used from a virtual wallet, enhancing the convenience of acquiring and utilizing stamp papers.

The below table shows the key differences between eStamping and Franking:

To get eStamps, you need to procure the required stamp papers. For example, if you need 10,000 stamp papers in Karnataka with a denomination of INR 50 for DDPI in the demat account opening process, we'll obtain the papers and add them to your virtual wallet. Your assigned CSM will assist you throughout the procurement, which typically takes 5 working days.

After obtaining the stamps, you can utilize the stamp papers to perform eStamping for an agreement through the eStamp payload in the Create Contract API. This process will generate an eStamped PDF document that can be utilized for additional tasks such as electronic signing.

Whenever the stamp papers are depleted, it will be necessary to replenish them by acquiring a new set of stamp papers. To determine the need for refilling, you can utilize the Check Wallet Balance API and Get Wallet Logs API to regularly monitor the current balance and transaction history of your wallet. This will enable you to make informed decisions regarding the requirement for refilling. Procurement of stamp papers is required on an ongoing basis and it is recommended to have one month of estamps inventory and keep on procuring on a monthly basis.

In the age of digitalization, some states have adopted the eGRAS (Online Government Receipts Accounting System) system. This system makes it easier for companies to purchase a large number of stamp papers and pay the required stamp duty taxes to the government. For instance, if you need 10,000 stamp papers worth INR 50 each for the state of Rajasthan, for the purpose of DDPI, you can simply make a single payment of INR 5,00,000 (INR 50 * 10,000) through the eGRAS system. In return, you will receive a certificate from the government, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain 10,000 individual stamp papers.

With the franking/eGRAS system, you can obtain all the required stamp papers from the eGRAS system at once and provide them to the designated CSM (Customer Success Manager) for uploading the certificate into Sigzny's virtual wallet. This procurement process is significantly smoother compared to the previous method of acquiring stamps.

After paying the stamp duty via the eGRAS system, you can begin utilizing the stamping services by including the relevant information in the eStamping Payload of the Create Contract API. We will handle the ledger and wallet balance management for you within the system, and provide you with an eStamped PDF document for future procedures.

When the balance in the franking wallet is exhausted, it becomes essential to replenish it by obtaining a new set of certificates through an online payment on the eGRAS system. To assess the need for replenishment, you can use the Check Wallet Balance Check API and Get Wallet Logs API to periodically monitor the current balance and transaction history of your wallet. This will help you make informed decisions regarding when to refill the wallet. Procurement of stamp papers is required on an ongoing basis and it is recommended to have one month of estamps inventory and keep on procuring on a monthly basis.

You can check transaction logs in the Signzy system between a certain range of time. It takes input of start date, end date, amount, state, etc. to filter and provide a MIS. You can use Get Wallet Logs API to do so.
