How to Use E-Stamp Punjab 2026 | Full Process & DC Rates
In 2026, the Punjab Board of Revenue (BoR) introduced a fully digitized E-Stamp system, marking the end of conventional stamp papers. This transition to a paperless, white-paper-based process ensures greater transparency, reduces fraud, and makes legal documentation easier for residents of Punjab. Whether you are registering property, filing affidavits, or completing vehicle documents, the new E-Stamp Citizen Portal simplifies every step.
Key Changes in E-Stamp Punjab 2026
Senior Member BoR, Nabeel Javed, approved 14 measures early this year to enhance digitization. The most notable innovation is the White Paper E-Stamp, which allows citizens to print verified stamps on plain A4 sheets, eliminating the need for traditional green security paper.
Notable Features of 2026 E-Stamp System:
- OTP Authentication: Applicants must verify through a mobile number registered under their CNIC.
- QR Code Security: Each e-stamp has a unique QR code for instant mobile verification.
- Cross-Province Coordination: E-Stamp Punjab is now fully integrated with Sindh’s e-stamp system for legal documents across provinces.
Updated E-Stamp Fees (January 2026)
Following the government’s latest adjustment on January 25, 2026, stamp fees have been revised to align with current economic conditions. All fee calculations are integrated into the citizen portal for accuracy.

The E-Stamping Citizen Portal is the official platform to generate and manage Challan Form 32-A.

eStamp <16-digit ID>to 8100 for instant confirmation. - QR Code Scan: Scan the QR code on the e-stamp with any smartphone to validate authenticity.
