Delhi residents will soon experience a completely digital property registration process as the state government prepares to eliminate physical paperwork. The entire system is being moved online to ensure transparency and reduce corruption in the revenue department. Under this new initiative, once the registration is complete, the documents will be sent directly to the applicant’s DigiLocker account.

How will the paperless registration process work for citizens
The entire process including the application and ownership verification will be handled through an online portal. Applicants will only be required to visit the sub-registrar office a single time for biometric verification and to get their photograph taken. This faceless system is designed to prevent officials from withholding documents and will save people from multiple rounds of government offices. The government is optimizing the National Generic Document Registration System for this specific purpose.
Timeline and key features of the new system
A pilot program for this paperless system is expected to launch within the next six months, with the goal of full implementation across the capital by the end of 2026. To handle the workload better, the number of sub-registrar offices in Delhi is being increased from 22 to 39. The revenue department has also hired Deloitte as a consultant to manage the mapping and engineering of this digital transition. The current fee structure and additional facilities are mentioned below.
