Common man
wants little denomination of the stamp papers for varied functions like legal
instrument, Rental agreements, agreements, enterprise, power of professional,
bonds, note of understanding etc. Public needs tax of the denomination of Rs 20,50,100 & two hundred for death
penalty affidavits, rental agreement,
Indemnity Bonds and Sale Agreement severally. These are all the common demand
of stamp duties for giving legal sanction to any quite documents. Now-a-days
the government departments are demand for getting affidavits and indemnity bond
for varied functions.
Non-availability
Previously,
department of stamp duty was appointing the approved stamp vendors to sell the
stamp papers for the higher than aforesaid documentation purpose. It had been
sort of a public fare worth outlets, whereby such stamp papers were simply out
there not solely altogether the vital places however conjointly terribly very
remote and interior villages. Infact, Stamp papers were out there even within
the late night conjointly. Any understanding between the parties are reduced in
writing on the stamp paper and would be signed on it, as the same can be
binding on each the parties. once the Telgi scam, from 01/04/2003, using stamp
papers for the aim of any documentation has been totally prohibited in
Karnataka.
S.B.M.paper
After the
amendment of Section 10A of the Karnataka legislative act, 1957, provision has
been created for payment of tax by DD/Pay Order or Bankers Cheque, drawn in
favour of the concerned Sub-Registrar office available deeds and other
documents. getting stamp papers of little denomination, solely 2 choices are
out there. One is, franking the stamp paper within the involved sub-registrar
workplace and another one is buying the document sheet from the bank of Mysore.
sadly, each the modes of getting stamp papers are terribly tedious since it
involves ton of procedure and formalities. Further, the aforesaid facility is
avaible to the general public just for five to six hours each day. Infact solely in few branches of bank of
Mysore the power of issuance stamp papers are out there. In such case, public
has to stock up the challan and mention the denomination that stamp paper is
needed and consequently needs to pay the requisite commission charges on such
quantity and later needs to stand on a awfully long queue. therefore obtaining
a stamp paper in SBM may be a time intense method. Again, such approved
branches of bank of Mysore aren't a lot of fascinated by issuance this stamp
paper rather they're concentrating a lot of on their banking business. Infact,
among those approved branches conjointly, only 1 or 2 banks solely can issue
the stamp paper on it explicit date and priority are given for his or her
regular customers of the aforesaid Bank.
Franking procedure
The matter
needs to be written within the written report or document sheet and needs to be
submitted for franking at the side of the applying, however while not date and
signature of the parties to the aforesaid document. This facility is accessible
in bound explicit sub registrar offices solely like Jayanagar, Gandhinagar,
Basavanagudi, Shivajinagar, Rajajinagar, Kengari, Anekal Sub registrar offices,
this facility is accessible and therefore the franking time is merely between 10:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M, excluding the
lunch hour. Rules and rules vary from one sub-registrar workplace to the
alternative. If the party produces the documents for franking, the involved
sub-registrar might refuse by varied reasons. as an example, if an individual
created a lease agreement quite eleven months, or that the agreement involves
advance quantity or if standard is dead in favour of person aside from his/her
friend then it should be refused owing to inadequate tax. However, it's not a
requirement of the sub-registrar wherever the franking of the tax is completed
to establish the tax, however it's by the District Registrar or the Court that
ought to decide the requisite tax on any document at the time of presenting the documents.
Fake Papers
For the past
2 years, little denomination stamp papers were out there simply everyplace.
once ending of the stamp papers, government has not taken any initiative to
induce the little denomination of the little papers by straightforward
technique, that has forced the general public to shop for the paper within the
easiest method within the Taluk workplace and sub registrar offices entrance,
that has resulted within the creation of ton of (small Telgis). Infact, 2
months past, town Crime Branch (CCB) raided few of the Sub-registrar offices
and Taluk workplace and have set-aside thirty eight criminal franking, out of
that twenty one cases in town Civil Court premises and therefore the rest at
salad dressing Hall, Yelahanka, Peenya, Yeshwanthpur, Koramangala and Jayanagar
and in remission nearly forty seven agents for having concerned within the
circulation of faux stamp papers and franking ink and pads, seals and franked
blank sheets were conjointly confiscate. These faux papers are either franked
from their own franking machineries or from the initial stamp papers, they're
victimization color zerox. folks ought to approach the approved Sub Registrar
offices to induce the stamp paper raised on the written text before signature.
Franking machine

paying requisite tax, which, in turn, results in ton of litigations. so as to
unravel this drawback, the Department of Stamps and Registration needs to give

generates a lot of financial gain for the govt.
