Zoho Sign has expanded its e-Stamping support across India, enabling businesses to pay stamp duty digitally on agreements and documents. This update, announced on July 1, 2026, allows users to append legally valid e-Stamp certificates to electronic documents, streamlining the traditionally tedious process of purchasing physical stamp paper or getting documents franked at service centers, according to zoho.com.
The Indian government introduced the electronic stamping system in July 2013, with the Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL) authorized to issue e-Stamps. Zoho Sign integrates this system, allowing Indian residents and businesses to pay non-judicial stamp duty online and attach a digitally rendered e-Stamp challan or scanned copy to their documents, making the process faster and more convenient, zoho.com explains.
This expansion is significant as stamp duty is mandatory for certain agreements to be legally valid and admissible in court in India. By digitizing this process, Zoho Sign addresses a common pain point for businesses, reducing delays and administrative overhead. The move aligns with broader trends of digital transformation in Indian legal and business processes, with SHCIL remaining the sole issuer of e-Stamps, per zoho.com.
Zoho Sign’s pan-India e-Stamping support is now live, allowing users nationwide to complete stamp duty payments online and attach e-Stamps to electronic documents seamlessly. This development is expected to benefit a wide range of businesses dealing with legal agreements requiring stamp duty compliance, as detailed on zoho.com.
