Old Stamp Papers purchased before January 2014 can be used

CHANDIGARH, NOV 5

The Haryana Government has decided that the citizens can use Old Stamp Papers or certificates purchased before January 2014 as per guidelines, rules and regulations issued by the Revenue Department from time to time by adopting the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

        While stating this here today, a spokesman of the Finance Department said that as per the SOP, if a person is having valid, blank or executed old physical stamp paper or certificate issued by authorized branch of SBI and if he or she intends to get their deed registered using these old stamp papers, he or she may apply to concerned Treasury through Tehsildar or Naib Tehsildar for this purpose.

        He said that Treasury Officer would enter the details of old stamp papers, submitted to concerned treasury in e-GRAS. The e-GRAS will generate a Unique ID against this old stamp paper or certificate. The concerned Treasury Officer would check and verify the details of old stamp paper issued by him and would write the generated UID number on the stamp paper. He would sign and stamp with date on each stamp paper. Using the UID number, the person concerned would take e-appointment from e-Registration system.

        The spokesman said that during the deed registration, the e-Registration would check the UID number from e-GRAS similar to the GRN of e-Stamp paper. After the registration process of the deed is completed, the e-Registration system would update the deed registry number in the e-GRAS system and would deface the UID number in e-GRAS software as is done for the e-Stamp paper.

In case, the person concerned is possessing SBI generated certificate instead of physical old stamp paper, the person concerned would first get the Bank certificate verified from the concerned bank branch. Thereafter, he or she would forward the verified bank certificate to the concerned treasury through the concerned Tehsildar or Naib Tehsildar. Thereafter, the same work flow process would be followed similar as done in the case of old stamp paper, he added.

        He said that Additional Chief Secretary, Finance Department has issued these instructions to all Heads of Departments, Divisional Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, Sub Divisional Officers (Civil) and Registrar General, Punjab and Haryana High Court. They have been directed to bring these instructions to the notice of all concerned in their departments for strict compliance. These instructions are also available on the official website of Finance Department www.finhry.gov.in. In case of any difficulty, they can contact Mr. Sunil Bahal, Nodal Officer (e-Stamping) Treasuries and Accounts Department on email at treasuries@hry.nic.in.

UNIFORM ALLOWANCE: Haryana Government has decided to grant Uniform Allowance of Rs 900 to Multipurpose Health Workers (MPHW), Male, thus bringing them at par with Multipurpose Health Workers (MPHW) Female.

        He said that MPHW, Female are already getting Uniform Allowance of Rs 900 including Rs 150 as boarding and diet allowance.
