Covid Hits Supply, Stamp Papers for sale in black

Nagpur: Covid also left the impact on the availability of stamp paper.
It is necessary to sign a written action or statement, the stamp paper still lacks even because the situation is normalized with the receding Covid case.
The long queues of those who need it can be witnessed at the Finance Office near the Collectorate to buy stamps from RS100 or RS500 denominations, which are also reported to take heavy premiums today.
Black leather marketers are learned to be charged almost double the number.
Vendors are blaming the district administration because they do not release a number of adequate stamp papers to meet demand.
Officials, on the other hand, said their shortcomings began due to the Indian security press (ISP) in Nashik did not work from March to September last year because Covid Lockdown.
The situation must be managed with stock in hand, they said.
Even when ISP work continues from October 2020, the supply remains low.
The Nagpur treasury office only received a new lot in January this year, followed by another in May.
After that, there was a supply of stamp paper recently worth RS11 Crore.
However, this must last for three more months.
This means, allotment can continue.
Supply now is also less than request.
Like opposing 1,000 RS100 stamp paper bundles, only 600 that have been allocated for Nagpur.
Request was raised for 250 bundles of RS500 denominational caps, but only 100 received.
Fresh stock can only be supplied to vendors after the next 15 days as all procedures, including recording the number of each stamp paper, it must be resolved, the official word is responsible at the collectorate.
“The stamp paper is needed for many goals, starting to submit Affidavit, sign any agreement to even submit a government welfare scheme.
This situation is worse during locking, but the shortcomings continue even now,” said Ram Heda, an advocate.
Vendors have improved stamp paper quota worth RS40,000 twice a week.
There is a possibility that the quota is upgraded to RS1 Lakh respectively, if there is a comfortable stock, the officer said.
Previously, there was no quota, and vendors could buy as much as they needed.
It leaves the opportunity to hoard.
Individual vendors used to fill the challans for stamp paper worth as much as RS6 Lakh a day.
Some Challans are submitted in one day.
There is also a Challan incident recorded twice.
This can cause additional stamp paper supply worth RS1 Lakh without payment of it.
Errors detected in time.
This causes the quota system, said the source.
There is also a probability of stamps paper may be stockpiled since locking days.
Vendors deny costs that say there are certain agents outside the place that might be involved in black marketing.
“We are in a helpless situation.
Supply has been locked up to RS40,000, customers have to wait for hours and return empty-handed,” Satish Patil said, the President’s Association of Vendors.
In the queue it stood Ajay Gupta, easily in sixties, hoping to get RS100 stamp paper.
He must submit a written statement to claim compensation for the hectare of land taken over for irrigation projects.
