Acute shortage of stamp papers in Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar: Common people in the city have been put to untold suffering due to a massive shortage of non-judicial stamp papers. Stamp papers are an essential document with varied monetary values that are required to execute various legal deeds like lease agreements, rent agreements, buying and selling of properties, financial agreements, power of attorney, affidavits, articles of association and memorandum of association, among others.
However, the city has been witnessing an acute shortage of these papers, especially of lower denominations starting from Rs 2 to Rs 50. Many alleged that the shortage is leading to black marketing of judicial papers.
