A pay slip with a unique transaction ID and e-stamp reference number as per the stamp price based on the base price can be obtained from the PEARL application. If you approach a licensed stamp vendor with this slip, e-stamp will be issued using the registered login ID provided to the stamp vendor from the treasury.
