Land Registry Rule 2025: Digital Property Registration Begins

Read Time:-2 Min

The Government of India has introduced the Land Registry Rule 2025, a new system to make property registration digital, simple, and faster. This rule replaces the old Registration Act of 1908, which was more than 100 years old and outdated in today’s digital era.

Why is this change needed?

The old law relied on paperwork and physical visits to the sub-registrar's office.

Many property transactions faced delays and confusion about ownership.

Cases of fraud and unclear records made property buying and selling risky.

The new rule aims to address these issues by utilising online technology and digital records.

Key Features of the New Rule

1. Online Registration of Property Documents

2. The buyer's and seller's identities must be verified using Aadhaar or other approved methods.

3. Powers of attorney and agreements to sell must also be registered.

4. To cut down on paperwork and mistakes, all property records will be kept electronically.

5. Online registration makes the process quicker and more citizen-friendly.

Benefits for Property Buyers and Sellers

1. Buyers can complete their registration online, saving time and reducing the need for office visits.

2. Ownership records will be accurate and up-to-date, reducing disputes.

3. Increased transparency will help buyers check legal issues, mortgages, or liabilities on a property.

4. Fraud risks are reduced because digital verification ensures only the rightful owner registers the property.

Things to Prepare

1. Keep all your documents ready and updated (ID proof, sale deeds, tax receipts, etc.).

2. Ensure the seller’s records are clear and the property is listed correctly in government records.

3. Make sure your Aadhaar and identity details are updated for smooth verification.

4. Check with your local sub-registrar or state portal for specific timelines and rules.

5. The Land Registry Rule 2025  promises faster, safer, and simpler property transactions.
