Chandigarh, November 8 – Haryana Revenue & Disaster Management Minister, Sh. Vipul Goel today stated that all registry offices across the state are functioning smoothly, and no paperless registry services have been suspended. The Paperless Registry System, launched statewide on November 1, 2025, is operating efficiently, ensuring uninterrupted citizen services for property registration.
Reacting to reports that appeared in a section of the press claiming that registry services had been halted, Sh. Vipul Goel strongly refuted such reports. He stated that these reports were misleading and emphasized that the new paperless system was introduced to make registration more convenient, transparent, and time-bound. Under the new provisions, the department has been allotted five working days to verify documents submitted by applicants.
Giving more information in this regard, Financial Commissioner, Revenue and Disaster Management, Dr. Sumita Misra stated that since the system’s launch, the department has received a total of 2,778 applications under the Paperless Registry System. Of these, 927 documents have already been successfully registered, demonstrating the system’s smooth functionality and timely processing. Additionally, 495 applications have been assigned specific appointment dates for registration, with execution to be completed as per scheduled timelines.
Meanwhile, 327 applications were rejected due to incomplete or incorrect documentation. The remaining applications are currently under verification at various offices, and their registration will be finalized promptly once verification is completed within the timeline of 5 days. This data reflects the department’s active efforts to maintain transparency, efficiency, and speed in implementing the new digital registration process across the state, Dr. Misra added.
Before implementing the Paperless Registry System statewide, the department conducted a pilot phase to identify and resolve technical or procedural issues. After successful trials, the system was extended across Haryana. Dr. Misra acknowledged that, as with any new system, initial challenges may arise, but added that the department has established comprehensive grievance redressal mechanisms to handle public complaints and feedback.
Dr. Misra stated that the department has implemented several key improvements based on public feedback and suggestions from officials and citizens. Errors in land data for some villages have been corrected where duplicate entries existed. In areas falling under municipal limits, there is no change in NOC requirements, and the earlier process remains applicable. The data for licensed colonies has been streamlined and is now available for urban and semi-urban areas, while rural colonies will be reviewed in consultation with the Town and Country Planning Department.
For matters related to the Housing Board and HSVP, khewat-khatoni details are not required; instead, registrations are being processed using Property IDs provided by municipal bodies. For licensed colonies, the system automatically displays relevant data once the correct license number is entered. The department has also removed khewat-khasra columns from old city area records, allowing citizens to book appointments from the next working day. Additionally, licensed colony data has been linked with Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), enabling easier coordination and faster approvals.
Director, Consolidation of Land Holdings & Land Records, Sh. Yash Pal informed that the character limit for Partnership or Collaboration Deeds has been increased from 500 to 10,000 characters, allowing complete entry of terms and conditions. The document upload limit on the portal has been enhanced from 10 MB to 40 MB for user convenience. A new “Revert with Objection” feature will be introduced from November 12, allowing applicants to re-upload corrected documents without paying additional fees, unless incorrect information was initially entered.
Minor discrepancies in names will not cause applications to be rejected. The General Power of Attorney (GPA) option continues to remain available and has been simplified further, with citizens able to book appointments from Monday, Sh. Yash Pal added.
Regarding the cultivator column, Sh. Yash Pal clarified that ownership cannot be changed based on this field, though past registrations made in such a manner are under review, and new rules will be issued shortly. The department also confirmed that location data in rural areas is accurate, but citizens can report any anomalies through the helpdesk for correction.
Dr. Misra reaffirmed that the Paperless Registry System marks a major step toward digital governance, transparency, and accountability in Haryana. She emphasized that the department remains committed to continuously improving the system and welcomes constructive suggestions from citizens and institutions alike to ensure that the registration process remains efficient, reliable, and citizen-friendly.
