Haryana to Go Fully Paperless: Online Deed Registration Made Mandatory from next month-FCR, Dr. Sumita Misra

Kanwar Inder Singh/ royalpatiala.in News/ October 23,2025

In a transformative step toward digital governance, Financial Commissioner and Disaster Management, Dr. Sumita Misra said that as per the vision of Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, the paperless deed registration will become mandatory across all 22 districts of the state from November 1, 2025. The move marks a complete transition from the traditional complex registration system to a fully digital, transparent, and citizen-friendly platform accessible at https://eregistration.revenueharyana.gov.in/. After the implementation date, the existing system will be permanently discontinued, making Haryana one of the first states in India to achieve 100% paperless property registration.

The Department of Revenue has adopted a phased rollout strategy to ensure smooth implementation across the state. Phase I was launched by Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini on September 29, 2025 from Babain sub-tehsil of Kurukshetra for Kurukshetra district.  Phase-II of paperless registration will commence from October 28, 2025, in ten more districts: Ambala, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Rewari, Mahendragarh, Faridabad, Fatehabad, Palwal, Jind, and Jhajjar. These districts will serve as early adopters, paving the way for the remaining districts Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Gurugram, Hisar, Kaithal, Nuh, Panchkula, Panipat, Rohtak, Sirsa and Sonipat to adopt this new system by November 1, 2025, as part of Phase-III, she added.

Dr. Misra stated that the new Online Deed Registration Portal integrates all aspects of property registration into a unified, user-friendly interface. Citizens can now register and verify their identity through secure OTP authentication, complete Sale Deed forms with guided assistance, upload supporting documents digitally, schedule appointments with Sub-Registrars at their convenience, and track application status in real-time through automated SMS alerts. The system accommodates all property categories including residential, agricultural, government, panchayat, and defence-owned lands, as well as apartment sales and co-ownership transfers. Distinct workflows have been designed for rural areas, urban areas within municipal limits, and urban areas outside municipal limits, ensuring jurisdictional accuracy and administrative efficiency.

The portal employs a robust three-tier verification system involving Registration Clerk 1 (RC1), Registration Clerk 2 (RC2), and the Sub Registrars. Each stage incorporates digital signature authentication, photograph verification of parties and witnesses, automated status notifications to applicants, and secure online payment integration. This multi-level approach ensures that every transaction is thoroughly vetted while maintaining speed and transparency. Citizens need to visit the registration office only once—for final biometric verification and deed execution—after all documentation has been verified online. Upon approval by the Sub-Registrar, the system automatically generates three copies of the registered deed: one for the citizen, one for official records, and one transmitted electronically to the Patwari for immediate mutation and land record updates.

Dr. Misra said that in order to ensure a smooth transition, the Revenue Department has issued critical instructions for all stakeholders. All mutation entries must be incorporated into the system before October 25, 2025, to facilitate seamless data migration. Citizens and property dealers are advised not to purchase new stamp papers at this stage, as the paperless system will eliminate the need for physical stamps. However, stamp papers already purchased may be utilized within one week of the system’s launch in respective districts. The old registration system will cease to function entirely after the stipulated rollout dates in each district.

Recognizing the importance of capacity building, the government has organized a comprehensive training session for all District Registration Officers (DROs) scheduled for October 23, 2025, at 11:30 AM, covering all six administrative divisions of the state. To provide on-ground technical support during implementation, six Software Engineers from the IT Division have been specially deputed on a division-wise basis. Their contact details and assigned districts will be shared with DROs during the training session, ensuring immediate resolution of any technical issues that may arise during the transition period.

“This is a historic moment for Haryana and a giant leap toward corruption-free, citizen-centric governance,” said Dr. Sumita Misra. The present system has been in prevalence for over 58 years and which is being transformed which will eliminate delays, reduces scope for malpractice, and empowers every citizen with complete transparency and control over their property transactions.” The initiative aligns perfectly with the state’s vision of creating a Digital Haryana, where governance is accessible, accountable, and inclusive. It also significantly enhances the Ease of Doing Business in Haryana, making the state an attractive destination for investment, industry, and settlement.

With this bold reform, Haryana has set a national benchmark for digital land administration. The completely paperless, end-to-end online system saves citizens valuable time and resources while establishing a replicable model for other states pursuing digital transformation. The portal represents the government’s unwavering commitment to leveraging technology for inclusive development, administrative efficiency, and citizen empowerment.

For technical support or queries regarding the new system, citizens may contact the dedicated helpline at 1800-180-2137 or send an email to [email protected]. The Department of Revenue has also established district-level help desks to assist users during the transition period. Citizens are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the portal in advance to ensure a smooth registration experience.
