well as fees for the registration of British subjects enjoined by the said Order, shall be
collected by means of Indian revenue and Court-fee stamps. These stamps, which
are supplied by His Majesty’s Indian Government through the Karachi Stamps Depot,
shall be affixed, on receipt of the amount which they represent, to the document for
which the fee is charged, or, where there is no document, to a receipt. The stamps
shall be affixed close to the officer’s signature, but where this is impracticable they
may be affixed on the top left-hand corner of the document. They shall be cancelled
at once by punching out the figurehead so as to leave the amount designated on the
stamp untouched, and also by writing the date in distinct figures on each stamp
thus—10-7-08. The use of a date stamp for this purpose will not comply with the
instructions.

fees to be paid in advance and before the stamps are cancelled.
