STATE:VU<:XT.

Under the existing provisions of the Bombay Court-fees Ad, 1959

(Hom. XXXVI of 1959), all f(JOS chargeable are collected by way of"
. impressed and adhesive stamps. puc to spurt in litigations, there is
increase in demand of court-fee stamps. Sometimes it is difficult to cater
the need of litigants and supply requisite court-fee stamps as per their
demand. In the present system, court-fee' is paid by physical cour-t-fee
stamp papers. However, there is no mechanism involved to cheek
genuineness of these court-fee stamp papers. In the recent past, it is
revealed that some people are indulging into systematic: racket of
preparing and circulating fake stamp papers resulting into huge loss of
revenue. The Government considers it expedient 1,0 devise a system to
. overcome these problems. These problems can be resolved by usc of
advanced technology, such as introduction of a system providing lor
payment through a-payment or payment through Spcured Bank and
Treasury Receipt (SBTR) in addition to the prevailing system of payment
of court-fees through court-fee stamps.

2. As both Houses of the State Legislature arc not in session

and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances
exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action further
to amend the Bombay Court-fees Act, 1959, for the purposes aforesaid,
this Ordinance is promulgated. .

Dated the 8th June 2011. Governor of Maharashtra,
