Reportedly, SBP has also asked the government to arrange a meeting with all the stakeholders to avoid any future complications that may arise regarding the e-stamp paper system. Furthermore, SBP has notified the Punjab Government that users are also facing difficulties due to lack of clarity about how the e-stamp system will actually work.
