The e‑registration system in Bihar’s Saran district has completed online entry of more than 4,200 land and flat documents, marking a shift to paperless record‑keeping.
The state government’s e‑nibandhan platform has now processed over 4,200 land and flat registration documents in Saran district, eliminating the need for physical paperwork. Officials say the digital workflow reduces processing time and curtails opportunities for stamp‑vendor fraud, a long‑standing concern in property transactions.
The online portal allows owners, buyers and legal representatives to upload title deeds, survey maps and identity proofs, after which the records are verified and stored on a secure server. Once approved, the electronic certificates are issued instantly, replacing the traditional stamp‑paper based registration.
State authorities anticipate that the paperless system will be rolled out across all districts in the coming months, aiming to streamline property deals and improve transparency in the land market.
Local stamp vendors, who previously earned commissions from manual registrations, have expressed apprehension about the reduced footfall. The government, however, has assured that they will be integrated into the digital ecosystem through training and certification programs.
The move aligns with Bihar’s broader digital‑governance agenda, which seeks to bring more citizen services online and cut administrative bottlenecks.
