The proposal will require buyers and sellers to visit the sub-registrar’s office only for biometric authentication.
The Delhi government is planning to make property registrations fully online and paperless, with officials saying the plan could materialise within the next five to six months.
The previous government had also proposed making property registrations fully online, but the plan did not materialise.
According to senior officials, the proposal, once cleared by the cabinet and passed by the assembly, will require buyers and sellers to visit the sub-registrar’s office only for biometric authentication. All other processes will be online, and the parties involved will receive documents on their DigiLocker app.
“The plan could materialise in the next five to six months. It is on the drawing board and meetings are underway,” a senior government official said.
The initiative, aimed at minimising human intervention, seeks to eliminate the need for applicants to visit sub-registrar offices for most stages of property registration. Under the proposed system, the entire process—from application filing to ownership verification—will be conducted online, with only a single visit required for photo and biometric verification.
