Dear Sir,
Govt. was kind enough to extend period upto Oct 31st. However it appears due to lack of infrastructure at stamp office all citizens will not be able to seek advantage. Moreover clarifications issued by govt. on Aug 29 for relief to buyers who executed documents during 1980-85 are not being yet implemented by stamp office.Therefore such small extended period leads to many corrupt practices by paying huge amount to agents and links associated with them. Govt. should extend deadline till they find not more than 20-30 citizens makes queue on a single day. Perhaps Amnesty Scheme should be extended for an Year or so. Otherwise intentions of govt authorities are taken for granted either as a election propoganda or maintaining confusion or encouraging corruption.
