How to register a property deed online in West Bengal

Registration starts online, but the parties usually still visit the office on the booked date:

Open wbregistration.gov.in and fill in the e-Requisition Form. Enter the deed type, the buyer and seller, and the property details: district, police station, mouza, khatian and plot number for land, or the flat details.
Submit the form. The portal generates a query number. Keep it, because every later step uses it.
The office assesses the market value (e-Assessment). Once it is ready, the portal shows the stamp duty and registration fee payable.
Pay both amounts online through GRIPS by net banking or the other modes shown. Save the e-challan.
Book an e-appointment at the Additional District Sub-Registrar (ADSR) or District Sub-Registrar (DSR) office that covers the property.
Visit on the booked date with the original deed, ID proofs, photos and the e-challan. Signatures, photos and fingerprints are taken at the office.
After registration, collect the deed, or track its delivery status on the portal.

The department also runs an e-Deed service. Here the deed is prepared from a standard template and signed with Aadhaar OTP-based e-Sign. The government’s Silpasathi portal describes this as paperless registration, though the parties still present the deed at the office on the booked slot. Check which deed types are open for e-Deed on the portal.

How to check the market value of a property

Stamp duty in West Bengal is charged on the agreed price or the market value set by the department, whichever is higher. To check the value:

Open Calculation Assistance on the portal.
Choose Value of Land, Land with Structure or Flat.
Select the district, the local body (municipality, corporation or panchayat) and the police station.
Enter the mouza, khatian and plot number, or the flat details, and any extra details asked.
Submit to see the value. Then use the stamp duty and fee calculator for the amount payable.

The online value is a guide; the office sets the final value.

Stamp duty and registration fee in West Bengal

As reported by banks and property sites for 2026, stamp duty is about 6% (7% above ₹1 crore) in corporation and municipal areas, and about 5% (6% above ₹1 crore) in other areas. The registration fee is reported at about 1%. West Bengal charges the same rate for men and women. The temporary 2% stamp duty cut and 10% market value cut, first given in 2021, have since ended. Rates and slabs change, so always use the calculator on the portal for the exact figure.

How to search a registered deed

A deed search shows whether a property has been sold or mortgaged before. Use Searching Deed on the portal:

By party name: enter the first and last name, the year of registration and the district.
By property details: choose district, local body and police station, then enter the mouza, khatian and plot number.
By query number: enter the query number and query year.
Mortgage information: check whether a mortgage has been recorded against the property.

Older, non-digitised deeds need a manual search at the office. Match results with the khatian on Banglarbhumi.

How to get a certified copy of a deed

You can apply through Certified Copy of Deed on the registration portal, through the state’s e-District portal, or in person at the ADSR or DSR office. You will need the deed number, the year and the office where it was registered. Fees are shown when you apply.

Documents needed for registration

Draft deed and the e-Requisition query number
GRIPS e-challan for stamp duty and registration fees
ID proof and PAN of the buyer, seller and witnesses
Passport-size photos
Earlier title deeds and the latest land record (khatian) for the property
For flats: the builder’s papers, completion or occupancy certificate and project RERA number where relevant
Power of attorney, if anyone signs on behalf of a party

Common mistakes that delay registration

Wrong mouza, khatian or plot number: the value and the deed will not match the land record.
Letting the e-Requisition lapse: extend its validity on the portal if your appointment is delayed.
Paying on unofficial sites: pay only through GRIPS links on the official portal.
Name spelling differences: the name on ID proofs, the deed and the khatian should match.
Skipping mutation: after registration, apply for mutation so the land record shows the new owner.
New flats: check the project on the West Bengal RERA website before you pay.
