The Federal Treasury Office stopped issuing manual stamp papers on January 26, 2026, and from February 13, 2026 no office, court, or authority in ICT accepts manual judicial or non-judicial stamp papers. E-stamps are generated digitally under the ICT Administration's system and verified online by the registering authority.

Key Notes

ICT stamp duty is set by the federal government, not provincial. Under section 27A of the Stamp Act (inserted 2019), immovable property is valued per the district collector's notified valuation table (DC Rate), or the declared value if higher. The Finance Act 2025 set conveyance duty at 1% of the value of the immovable property (down from 4%). E-stamping is mandatory in ICT: from February 13, 2026 no office, court, or authority in ICT accepts manual judicial or non-judicial stamp papers.
