Overview of the Property Registration Process in Odisha

Property registration in Odisha involves five main stages:

1. RoR Verification — Confirm the seller's ownership and parcel details on Bhulekh (bhulekh.ori.nic.in)
2. Stamp Duty Calculation — Calculate the amount on igrodisha.gov.in
3. Stamp Duty Payment — Pay via SHCIL e-stamp portal (shcilestamp.com) to get an e-Stamp certificate with UIN; pay registration fee via Odisha Treasury Portal (odishatreasury.gov.in)
4. Appointment Booking — Book a slot at the appropriate sub-registrar office
5. Sub-Registrar Visit — Attend with parties and original documents for biometric authentication and deed execution

Step-by-Step: How to Register Property at IGR Odisha 2026

1. Step 1 — Verify RoR on Bhulekh: Before anything else, verify the seller's Record of Rights on bhulekh.ori.nic.in to confirm owner name, Khata number, plot number, area, and land classification. This is a prerequisite step — you must confirm the seller actually owns the land being sold.
2. Step 2 — Get Encumbrance Certificate: On igrodisha.gov.in, go to Online EC and apply for an Encumbrance Certificate for the property. The EC confirms there are no existing mortgages, prior sales, or other registered transactions that would encumber the title.
3. Step 3 — Calculate Stamp Duty: Use the Stamp Duty Calculator on igrodisha.gov.in. Enter the property type, location, and consideration value. Odisha levies stamp duty at 5% for male buyers or 4% for female buyers (4.5% for joint male–female), plus a 2% registration fee. The benchmark value (circle rate) applies if higher than the agreement value.
4. Step 4 — Pay Stamp Duty & Registration Fee Online: Pay stamp duty via the SHCIL e-stamp portal (shcilestamp.com). On completion, you receive an e-Stamp Certificate with a unique UIN (Unique Identification Number) — this UIN must be recorded in the deed. Separately, pay the registration fee via the Odisha Treasury Portal (odishatreasury.gov.in) to generate an e-Challan.
5. Step 5 — Draft the Deed: Have an advocate draft the sale deed or other deed type (gift, mortgage, etc.) incorporating the e-Stamp certificate details, RoR details, and all parties' information.
6. Step 6 — Book Appointment on IGR Portal: Log in to igrodisha.gov.in and book an appointment at the sub-registrar office with jurisdiction over the property's location. Upload the deed and supporting documents.
7. Step 7 — Visit Sub-Registrar: Attend on the appointed date with buyer, seller, two witnesses, and all original documents. Biometric fingerprint authentication is collected for buyer and seller. The sub-registrar executes and stamps the deed.
8. Step 8 — Collect Registered Deed: The registered document is available within 1 to 3 working days — either physically or as a digital download from igrodisha.gov.in.
9. Step 9 — Apply for Mutation: After registration, apply for mutation (Dakhil Kharij) at the local Tahasil to update the RoR on Bhulekh from the seller's name to the buyer's name. Without this step, the buyer's name will not appear in official revenue records.
