The Kaveri Online Services portal by the Government of Karnataka has transformed the way we prepare and execute legal documents. Now, you can complete the entire documentation process online, from drafting to e-stamping, e-signing, and downloading the final, legally valid PDF document - all in one place. Recently, I submitted an Affidavit through Kaveri Online Services and received the complete set digitally: the draft, e-stamp, e-signature, and the final affidavit in PDF format. Below, I have explained the detailed step-by-step procedure for your reference.

STEP 1: LOG IN TO KAVERI ONLINE SERVICES Visit https://kaverionline.karnataka.gov.in and log in with your registered credentials. If you do not have an account, you can register easily using your mobile number and email ID. Refer to the login option below for your reference.

Once logged in, click on “START A NEW APPLICATION.” (Refer to the highlight for visual guidance.)

STEP 2: SELECT “DIGITAL E-STAMP” Next, choose the “DIGITAL E-STAMP” option from the available services. This section allows you to generate an e-stamp paper and prepare your complete document online. Refer to the image below

STEP 3: SELECT THE ARTICLE AND SUB-ARTICLE Kaveri Online Services enables users to create a variety of legal documents, including:

Sale Agreement
Rent Agreement
Lease Agreement
Affidavit / Declaration
Power of Attorney
Deposit of Title Deed
Bond
And many more

In this case, I am preparing an Affidavit, so I selected:

Nature of Document: Affidavit / Declaration
Sub-Article: Affidavit / Declaration

Refer to my selections in the image below

After selecting the appropriate options, click Continue.

STEP 4: ENTER PARTY DETAILS In this section, provide the details of the applicant or party involved in the document.

Individual or Organization: Select Individual
Claimant or Executant: Select Executant
Complete Aadhaar verification through OTP authentication.

Refer to the image below

Then, fill in the applicant's details such as name, age, gender, and address. (Refer to the image below showing the filled form.)

Click “Save Party and Move to Next Step.” Note: In my case, I did not require witnesses for the affidavit, so I skipped this step. However, for documents like sale, rent, or lease agreements, providing details of at least two witnesses is mandatory. Refer to the image below

STEP 5: FEE CALCULATION The portal automatically calculates the applicable stamp duty based on the selected document type. For my affidavit, the fee was Rs.100. Refer image below

Once verified, click Continue to proceed

STEP 6: DRAFT PREPARATION You can create and format your document draft directly within the Kaveri portal. The platform allows you to review the content and convert the draft into a PDF on e-stamp paper. (Refer to the highlighted steps in the image below.)

STEP 7: MAKE THE PAYMENT Proceed to make the payment for the e-stamp. I paid Rs.100 using UPI, and the transaction was processed instantly. STEP 8: E-SIGN AND DOWNLOAD THE DOCUMENT Digitally sign your document using Aadhaar-based OTP authentication. After successful e-signing, you can download your final document directly from the portal. We have highlighted the download option in the image below for your reference.

Below is the last page, showing the e-signature section

Your affidavit is now digitally executed and valid.

STEP 9: READY-TO-USE DOCUMENT With Kaveri Online Services, the entire process is paperless and completed in one sitting. In contrast, the traditional method required coordination between multiple points such as:

Drafting with an Advocate
Purchasing physical Stamp Paper
Printing the document
Signing manually

This older process usually took an entire day to complete. In comparison, the Kaveri Online system offers everything in one place, including:

Drafting directly on the portal
Automatic e-stamp generation
Aadhaar-based e-signing (especially convenient for NRIs executing legal documents in India)

The most appreciated feature is that the final document is instantly available in PDF format - valid, shareable, and completely paperless. The entire process took me just 15 minutes from start to finish.

CONCLUSION The Digital E-Stamp Service on Kaveri Online Services is a significant step towards simplifying legal documentation in Karnataka. Whether you’re preparing an affidavit, rent agreement, or power of attorney, the portal enables you to complete everything online — quickly, securely, and efficiently. In just one sitting, you can have your draft, e-stamp, e-sign, and final PDF - ready to use
