Himachal Pradesh

Overview

The Revenue Department registers documents through Sub-Registrar offices. Land records, Jamabandi and Shajra Nasb copies come from the HimBhoomi system run by the Revenue Department.

Authority: Revenue Department, Himachal Pradesh (Sub-Registrar offices)
Records: HimBhoomi (ROR distribution, Jamabandi and Shajra Nasb)

Registration process

1. Open HimBhoomi and view the Jamabandi or Shajra Nasb for the village, by district, tehsil and Hadbast number.
2. Check the seller's name and holding in the Jamabandi.
3. Search the project on HPRERA if you buy in a registered project.
4. Prepare the sale deed and pay stamp duty and registration fee as the Sub-Registrar office directs.
5. Register the deed at the Sub-Registrar office.
6. Apply for mutation with the tehsil so the Jamabandi shows your name.

Stamp duty and fees

Stamp duty and fees are set by the state and applied at the Sub-Registrar office; confirm the current amount there before you pay. Rules, fees and timelines change. Verify current requirements with your sub-registrar or a qualified property lawyer.

Common risks

• Check land-purchase eligibility rules with the revenue office before you buy agricultural land.
• Seller's name may not match the Jamabandi, which is rewritten about every five years.
• HimBhoomi copies online are for information only, so confirm the record at the tehsil.
• Hill plots may lack road access, approvals or clear boundaries.
