Registration Process in Odisha

This guide is still being prepared and has not been reviewed. It shows only the parts we can state with confidence. Check the official portal before relying on it.

Registration in Odisha is done at the District Sub-Registrar or Sub-Registrar office through the e-Registration system, after a compulsory online slot booking. Biometrics of all parties are captured, and the registration office sends Form No. 3 to the Tahasil for mutation.

Definition

Section 22-A check: Under the Registration (Odisha Amendment) Act, 2013, the registering officer checks that the seller's right, title and interest flow from the record of rights; the IGR has clarified this covers RoRs under the Odisha Survey and Settlement Act, 1958 and earlier settlements.

When you need it

For any sale, gift, partition, mortgage or lease that must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908.

Steps

Find the market (benchmark) value of the property on the IGR portal or at the registration office.
Pay stamp duty and get the deed written, using the model deeds on the IGR portal if you wish.
Book an online slot (compulsory since May 2023).
Present the deed and a true copy at the registration office; it is checked, given an ID and the fee is collected.
Photographs, thumb impressions and signatures of all parties and identifiers are captured, and the deed is registered.
The deed is scanned, Form No. 3 is sent to the Tahasil where required, and the original is returned.
