The stamps are used by the firms, hospitals, government offices and in all places. The signature stamps are highly used in the government offices where the officer's signature will be made as a stamp and will be sealed in each bill. When a person wants to change the property of a person in another's name, the signature of the government officials are needed and the signature stamps of these officials will be placed in the respective places to make the document of sale.

The property tax paid by the people will have the signature stamps of the town leader, municipality commissioner etc. The usage of stamps came in to existence when there are a lot of signatures to be put and a lot of time of the government officials is spent in signing the documents. To reduce this wastage of time all government officials from the collector to the administration authorities use the signature stamps instead of their signatures. The stamp pad will be used with seals in corporate and firms.

The certificates like internship certificate, certificate of employment etc are issued from the firms to the employees. The stamps are often misused and these stamps are mainly fixed by the secretary of the official. These personnel get bribes from the public and get things done for them by fixing the signature stamps of the officials. In the future this will become a big problem and the case will go to the court but the officials who have done this misuse might not be working in the same place or might have relieved from their duties.

There are a lot of small shops which make the rubber stamps and on telling the design of the stamp these people develop the stamps in half an hour with a seal. Due to this there are a lot of fake stamps made and fake certificates are issued especially in the education sector. The fake stamps are made and the mark certificates of the students are altered and fake mark certificates are produced in the colleges and universities to get medical and engineering seats on merit basis. When these fake certificates are found, the police will take strict action against the students who used the fake certificate to join in certain colleges and also arrest the persons developing the fake certificate. These types of fake stamp cases are very common these days and appear in the daily news papers.
