AMBALA: To increase the revenue in the state, the Haryana government has increased the charges of stamped papers, which are required in various types of agreements, power of attorney, divorce papers, and nearly nine more such deed documents. The realtors of Ambala are opposing the decision of the state government. Meanwhile, the public also feels that the government has increased the burden on them. The increased charges will be applicable from next month.The highest increase implemented by the revenue department of the state government will be on obtaining any agreement which is Rs 2000 from Rs 100.The Ambala district will have to bear more as the registrations of the properties are already stopped here and most of the sale and purchase of the property is done on the basis of agreement. Ambala district has five Tehsildar offices, including Ambala City, Ambala Cantonment , Barara, Naraingarh , and Saha, where everyday the public obtains more than 100 different types of agreements. This will surely increase the revenue of the state government, but the public will have to bear the burden.The realtors are not happy with the decision as the property business is facing recession. The realtors in Ambala are planning to unite and stand against the government on the decision taken by them. With the motive to increase the revenue, earlier the Congress government had increased the charges of stamped paper from Rs 10 to Rs 100, and now it has increased from Rs 100 to Rs 2000.Rajesh Punia, tehsildar, Ambala Cantonment said, “So far we have not received any orders or guidelines in this regard from the department. I have read the news in newspapers, that such charges may be revised from next month but at this moment, I cannot confirm any details about it.”
