Gurugram: In a major digital governance reform, the Haryana government has rolled out a fully paperless and online land registration system from November 1, 2025, marking the end of its 58-year-old manual property registration process.
The new system will operate through the unified e-registration portal — eRegistration.revenueharyana.gov.in — and will cover all districts across the state. Once implemented, the traditional paper-based system will be phased out completely, making Haryana one of the first states in India to achieve 100 percent digital property registration.
What Will Change
Under the new framework, the process will integrate Jamabandi (record of rights), mutation (ownership transfer), and registration data through the Haryana Registration Information System (HARIS). The system aims to unify all property-related services under a single digital platform.
Property buyers and sellers will now be able to complete most procedures online — including document upload, identity verification through OTP, and sale deed preparation — before booking an appointment with the sub-registrar for final biometric verification and signing.
Applicants will receive real-time SMS updates on their application status.
Earlier, scrutiny of documents was done manually on the day of appointment, often leading to delays or rejections. The new digital process introduces advance verification, reducing such procedural failures.
How the New System Works
The entire registration process will be completed online through seven steps:
- Access the Unified Portal:
Visit eregistration.revenueharyana.gov.in and log in using OTP-based authentication. New users must register first.
- Upload and Verify Documents:
Upload digital copies of sale deeds, ownership proof, ID, previous registry papers, and NOCs. The system automatically verifies ownership and property details through Jamabandi and HARIS databases.
- Calculate and Pay Stamp Duty:
Use the in-built calculator to check stamp duty and registration charges, then make payments online through the e-GRAS (electronic Government Receipts Accounting System) portal.
- Schedule an Appointment:
After payment confirmation, book an appointment online with the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) also known as Tehsil office using the HARIS Appointment System.
- Visit for Biometric Verification:
On the appointment date, the buyer, seller, and witnesses must visit the SRO/Tehsil for biometric verification and validation of original documents.
- Digital Registration and Mutation:
Once verified, the deed is digitally signed and registered in HARIS. Property records are automatically updated in Jamabandi, eliminating the need for a separate mutation process.
- Download Registered Deed:
The digitally signed deed will be available online and can be downloaded anytime from the portal or Jamabandi website using the registration number.
Each application will undergo a three-tier verification process involving two registration clerks and the sub-registrar. After approval, three digital copies of the deed are generated — for the owner, the government, and the patwari, ensuring instant record updates.
Officials said in the future, even physical visits for biometric verification could be replaced with remote authentication.
Inclusive Coverage and Integration
The new system will apply to residential, agricultural, panchayat, government, and defence lands, with separate modules for rural and urban areas to ensure correct jurisdictional handling.
It will also be linked with Urban Local Bodies (ULB), the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), and the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) databases for better record coordination.
The process is powered by the state’s Web-HALRIS system, which already manages land and property records in Haryana. It automatically verifies ownership, seller’s share, and pending encumbrances, and facilitates mutation approvals following registration.
Faster, Safer, and Transparent
According to the Revenue Department officials, the paperless registration system will reduce waiting time, eliminate queues, and minimise human interference, delivering a smoother experience to citizens.
All revenue records will be updated in real time, and any disputes or pending loans on a property will be flagged automatically during registration.
Applicants will also have access to a digital checklist of required documents, ensuring accuracy and reducing rejections due to incomplete submissions.
‘A Step Toward Smart Governance’
Gurugram Deputy Commissioner Ajay Kumar said the initiative would significantly enhance transparency and accountability in the system.
“This marks a significant move toward building a smarter and more efficient Haryana. I urge citizens to actively use these digital platforms for faster and hassle-free services,” he said.
Karamveer, Registry Clerk (RC) at Manesar Tehsil, said the initiative is designed to minimize public interface and reduce the need for physical visits.
“The applicant can complete the payment process and book an appointment slot through the online portal. On the scheduled day, they only need to visit for their photograph and biometric verification, as their approved application will already be available online,” he explained.
