The paperless land registration system in Nalanda district is gaining traction, with an average of 110 documents digitised each day across three sub‑registrar offices, and QR codes now providing instant copies.
The newly introduced paperless land registry scheme in Bihar's Nalanda district is seeing rapid adoption. Data from the sub‑registrar offices in Biharsharif, Hilsa and Rajgir shows that, on average, 110 land‑related documents are being entered into the digital system each day.
Officials say the shift to electronic records eliminates the need for physical paperwork, speeds up verification, and reduces the chances of document loss or tampering. Each digitised entry is assigned a unique QR code, which landowners can scan to obtain an instant copy of their registration certificate.
The move aligns with the state government's broader push for e‑governance and aims to make land transactions more transparent and accessible, especially in rural areas where traditional paperwork often caused delays.
Stakeholders, including local property dealers and farmers, have welcomed the change, noting that the QR‑based retrieval system simplifies the process of obtaining certified copies for loan applications and resale.
The initiative is part of Bihar's ongoing digital transformation agenda, and authorities plan to expand the paperless model to other districts in the coming months.
