Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I get Company stamps in Varanasi?
Usually 2–4 days after dispatch. Stamp orders submitted before 10:30 AM are dispatched the same day.
Is Hindi compulsory on a business signboard in Varanasi?
We are not aware of a Uttar Pradesh-specific rule fixing the language or size on private business boards. Section 12(3)(a) asks Companies to show the name in the local language as well, so a Hindi and English board is the safe choice.
