Overview

  • Minister Ravindra Jaiswal said buyers will be able to scan QR codes to view ownership details, past transactions, and seller eligibility to reduce fraud.
  • The state plans to integrate registry and revenue records and post revenue officials at registration offices so buyer names are updated immediately after registration.
  • A fixed fee of ₹500–₹1,000 is proposed for registering tenancy agreements to encourage formal rental contracts.
  • Family property settlements covering up to four generations are planned at a flat ₹5,000, alongside office upgrades and stamp‑paper ATMs for common denominations.
  • Officials cited a rise in annual registrations from about 16 lakh in 2017–18 to roughly 50 lakh now, with a separate 1% stamp duty rebate for women buyers already in effect up to ₹1 crore.
