E stamp Punjab is the online system of the Board of Revenue Punjab. It replaces old paper stamp paper with a digital stamp. The Punjab government ended traditional security stamp papers in March 2026, and citizens can now pay stamp duty and get e-stamps online without visiting banks. This guide explains the steps, the official portal, the fees and how to check that your stamp is real.
Quick Answer
To get an e-stamp in Punjab, open the official eStamping Citizen Portal, enter your CNIC and document details, and pay the calculated duty. After OTP verification, the e-stamp is issued at once, and you can print it on plain white paper. You can check any stamp later on the portal’s Verify Stamp page.
What Is E Stamp Punjab?
E stamp Punjab is a digital stamp paper system. It is built by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) for the Board of Revenue. Its goals are to stop paper fraud, prevent loss of government revenue and keep records in a central database that makes checking easy.
You need an e-stamp for documents like:
- Sale agreements and property transfer papers
- Rent agreements
- Affidavits
- Power of attorney

- es.punjab-zameen.gov.pk (the newer address)
- es.punjab.gov.pk (an older address that also appears)
Always type the address yourself. Do not use links sent on WhatsApp or by agents.

How to Get an E-Stamp in Punjab
Follow these steps.
- Open the official eStamping Citizen Portal.
- Choose the service you need. The portal offers Challan Form 32-A, a copying fee challan, and refund applications.
- Enter the names and CNIC numbers of the people involved. CNICs are checked with the NADRA database in real time.
- Enter the document type and property details, if it is a property paper. Duty is worked out from your details and the DC valuation tables built into the system.
- Check every detail, then generate the challan.
- Pay the amount shown. Earlier official pages said payment was made at a bank counter such as Bank of Punjab. The 2026 news reports say payment can now be made online or through a mobile application.
- Complete OTP verification, then download and print your e-stamp.
Tip: Do not use a screenshot or photocopy as proof. Keep the original e-stamp record and the stamp number.
What Fees Are Included?
Your total is not only the stamp duty. The portal shows stamp duty, Local Government Tax (TTIP), additional stamp duty when an instrument is registered, and the PLRA fee.
The exact amount depends on your document and property value. It is not one fixed rate for everyone. Trust the portal’s calculation, not a number told to you by an agent.
How to Verify an E-Stamp in Punjab
Verify before you sign or pay for a deal.
- Open the Verify Stamp page on the official portal.
- Search by e-Stamp number, or by e-Stamp ID or serial number for low denomination stamps (Rs. 100 and Rs. 200) issued through a stamp vendor.
- Check the result. It shows the stamp status, total amount, challan details and who paid the duty.
- Match the name, CNIC and amount with your document.
Be careful if the result says the stamp is delisted. The portal also shows a note that a transaction is valid for one week from its date of issue. Ask the helpline if you are unsure what this means for your case.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Entering a wrong CNIC or name
- Choosing the wrong document type
- Paying through an unknown agent or link
- Waiting too long after the challan is made
- Using a copy instead of the original e-stamp
Refunds
The portal has a refund application service for a challan or stamp. Refund rules and time limits are not fully explained in the sources checked. Read the portal’s FAQs or call the helpline.
