Islamabad has moved its stamp paper system to a fully digital platform, marking a major reform in how legal and financial documents are processed in the federal capital. Under the new e-stamping initiative, authorities have generated 585 challans so far, while the Federal Treasury has stopped issuing new physical stamp papers.
Officials said the transition aims to curb fraud, strengthen record-keeping, and speed up transactions. All new stamp duty transactions now run through the digital system, while previously issued physical stamp papers remain valid until their expiry to ensure continuity for ongoing cases.
The Deputy Commissioner’s office in Islamabad said the initial 585 challans show steady adoption of e-stamping. Authorities expect usage to rise as more citizens and businesses shift online.

Citizens can verify e-stamps via the Citizen Portal, allowing instant authenticity checks without visiting government offices. Officials said the digital workflow cuts the risk of fake or duplicate stamp papers, reduces human intervention, and limits manual errors.
The e-stamping rollout aligns with wider efforts to digitise public services in Islamabad. Authorities said the move will simplify procedures for citizens and businesses while improving administrative control and transparency.
