E stamp paper purchase


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
Buying e-stamp paper online in West Bengal may incur additional incidental charges, such as a Rs. 78 fee on a Rs. 100 stamp paper, on top of the face value. These charges cover transaction and service costs for the online platform. For those seeking to avoid these extra payments, purchasing stamp paper manually from a treasury is suggested as it only requires payment of the face value.

14 November 2025 Sir
I am from west bengal. One of my friend to purchase stamp paper obtain E purchase mode.
Value of Stamp Paper is Rs.100/-.
But when he approaches for payment on line mode it shows he have to pay Rs.100/- PLUS Rs.78/- as incidental charge.
My query to the eminent fellow experts is "is it compulsory to pay incidental charge?"
Because if we purchase Stamp Paper manually from treasury we have to pay RS.100/- only no other charge.
Regards
Abhijit

15 November 2025 The platform for purchasing e-stamp papers often adds incidental charges. These charges can include transaction fees, processing fees, or service charges that are levied by the service provider or the government agency facilitating the online transaction. The Rs. 78 is likely the service charge including GST added by the vendor or the service provider to cover the operational costs of handling online transactions, technical infrastructure, and the convenience of purchasing from home.
If you are purchasing e-stamp paper online, the platform may require you to pay this additional fee as part of the transaction.

17 November 2025 Thanks to Sir Dhirajlal Rambhia for sharing his views. So I personally feel it is better to purchase stamp paper manual copy from treasury as it bear no extra payment.
