Hello Sir(s),
I am buying a property and getting the agreement done. The builder informed me that he will get the agreement done on the e-stamp paper. But at the same time, my colleagues and friends advised about Franking the agreement. I did some check on the net, but not clear information apart from that both are same.
Please help me to know, whether I need to get franking done separately also after getting the agreement done on e-stamp paper or its not required and the document is still valid legally even without franking.

When you are presenting the agreement or any other document for registration along with e-stamp paper it shall be franked automatically by the Sub-Registrar, you need not worry or do any thing about franking of e-stamp paper. You have no role to play for its franking.

An agreement made merely on a e-stamp paper will not have legal validity, it should be registered to attain its status. While going for registration the details about the stamp duty to be paid and franking issues will be taken care automatically.
