The process is functional in the state through Stock Holding over SWIFT India's messaging platform for bank guarantees, according to a statement from SWIFT India.Automated e-Stamping with SWIFT India makes the stamp duty payment process 'paperless' for businesses and is a critical step in facilitating digitalisation of bank guarantees.

I urge the bankers to embrace it fully to drive digitisation in the state."
