eStamping Process
In today’s digital age, the traditional approach to executing and validating contracts using physical stamps and paper documents has evolved into more efficient and secure electronic methods. One notable advancement is the integration of e-Stamping processes within Contracting Software Development Kits (SDKs), One-Touch Sign (OTS), or Contract360. This innovation offers a streamlined and automated solution for stamping and verifying contracts, significantly reducing manual effort, enhancing accuracy, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
The e-Stamping process simplifies stamp procurement by providing an online platform for individuals and organizations to obtain the required stamps without the need for physical paperwork. With just a few simple steps, you can complete your stamp duty payment and access the e-stamps conveniently in your virtual wallet.
Please check the eStamping FAQ section addressing the common estamping releated queries.
To begin the e-Stamping process, an upfront payment is required for the desired quantity and denomination of stamps. For instance, if you need ten stamps valued at INR 100 each, a payment of INR 1,000 will be necessary. This pre-payment ensures a seamless and efficient procurement process.
After the pre-payment is made, you will need to provide specific details to complete the stamping process. Your assigned Customer Success Manager (CSM) from Signzy’s team will assist you with this. The CSM will work closely with you and your team to gather the necessary information, which includes:
