Franking Machine is a device used to print postage directly onto envelopes or packages, or on a label that is affixed to them. It replaces the need for traditional postage stamps and is often used by businesses to handle large volumes of mail more efficiently.
Inspector General of Registration and the Commissioner of Stamp Revenue is empowered to approve the models and authorise the use of Franking Machines for payment of stamp duty in the State of West Bengal.
