font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\"><b>Vendor-based Stamp Paper:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Stamp vendors sell pre-denominated non-judicial stamp papers that are manually filled and attached to contracts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;

font-family: 'open sans';\">Moreover, unlike other Indian states that use SHCIL-backed eStamping, Maharashtra has opted for eSBTR (Electronic Secure Bank and Treasury Receipt) as its digital stamping system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'open sans';\">eSBTR is the state\u2019s official digital receipt-based solution for paying stamp duty online via the GRAS (Government Receipt Accounting System) portal.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;
