Sindh E-stamp
Sindh implemented a similar E-stamp system in May of this year. It was launched due to a partnership between the PITB, the Sindh Board of Revenue, and the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP).
The ceremony was held at the Sindh CM House and was presided over by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. Revenue Minister Makhdoom Mehboob, the Chief Secretary, a senior member of the Revenue Board, the President of the National Bank, and others were present.
CM Murad Ali Shah also used the occasion to announce a reduction in stamp duty from 2% to 1%. Sindh’s E-stamp system operates similarly to that of KP.
