PESHAWAR
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Shafiullah Khan said on Thursday that the e-stamp paper system would bring transparency in land and property dealing and eliminate forgery and fraud.
After inaugurating e-stamp papers in the provincial capital, he said that launching the system was part of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s initiative of e-governance.
Administrative officers, revenue and National Bank of Pakistan officers were also present on the occasion.
He said that in the past various tactics were used for illegal activities through the stamp papers.
“The new online system and launching of e-stamp paper will not only bring transparency, but it will also stop the illegal culture of issuing stamp papers in back dates,” he said.
The official said that e-stamp papers would also help to resolve the property disputes and identify the exact price of land. He said e-stamp papers would uproot forgery and fraud as they would be verified online.
“The provincial government is trying to provide services to the people at their doorsteps. Now people of Peshawar can get e-stamp papers through the website www.estamp.kp.gov.pk with a single click,” he added.
Each e-stamp paper will be given a unique barcode with which the e-stamp paper can be verified online, he added.
