The most recent development in Islamabad's administrative reforms is the introduction of e-stamping, as reported by Tribune Latest on February 13, 2026. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and prevent the misuse of stamp papers by transitioning from manual to digital issuance. According to a spokesman for the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration, the new system is designed to 'close loopholes associated with manual stamp papers' and provide a 'clear, verifiable process' for all parties involved. Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon, during a visit to the F-8 Katchery, reviewed the system's implementation and noted that it allows for instant generation and downloading of e-stamp papers, each with a unique reference number stored in a central database. This move has been positively received by stamp vendors, who believe it will 'eliminate fake stamp papers and reduce disputes.' The system's user-friendly dashboard is tailored to assist citizens unfamiliar with online services, incorporating clear instructions and verification tools to minimize confusion.
