Big Reform: Bihar Introduces Online Land Registry System

In a significant move to streamline land registration and curb disputes, the Bihar government has introduced a paperless land registry system. This digital transformation aims to simplify land transactions, eliminate fraud, and improve efficiency.

The online land registry process has already begun in select locations, including Ara, Sheikhpura, Fatuha (Patna), and Kesaria (Motihari). From April 1, 2025, this paperless system will be implemented across all 137 registry offices in the state.
