Stuck for a one rupee revenue stamp!

My public provident fund had completed fifteen years and I decided to withdraw the amount. SBI branch was fairly quick except for one little thing.

Government requires a one rupee revenue stamp on the receipt. I would have gladly put 10 times the amount using an ordinary stamp or even paid 100 times the amount in cash to the bank instead of having to search for a damn one rupee revenue stamp.

The need for the revenue stamp makes no sense but persists, possibly, as per Newton's third law.
