Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I get Company stamps in Bhavnagar?
Usually 2–4 days after dispatch. Stamp orders submitted before 10:30 AM are dispatched the same day.
Is a Gujarati Signboard compulsory in Bhavnagar?
Gujarat has no state law forcing private businesses to use Gujarati on boards. Section 12 of the Companies Act still requires a Company's name and registered office address outside the office, and most businesses add Gujarati so local customers and officials can read it.
