Karnataka to Introduce Remote Property Registration

13 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Karnataka government has proposed an amendment to the Registration Act of 2025 to enable remote registration of properties and to consolidate all housing authorities, including private entities, under a single framework. The proposal is pending before the President for approval and seeks to regularise remote registration through notified private institutions. The measure aims to modernise the property registration process across the state.

The amendment is expected to benefit projects undertaken by large builders and those approved by agencies such as the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). It is intended to reduce the need for property owners and multiple government departments to visit sub-registrar offices in person. The initiative will centralise functions and streamline interactions between developers, regulators and registration officials.

The plan envisages the creation of common portals for each housing department office through which sub-registrars will be able to register properties, and the authorisation of sub-registrars to coordinate directly with RERA for registrations. Authorities propose linking all registrations to a unified software platform to improve coordination and reporting. Officials expect this integration to provide timely and accurate data on the number of properties registered and sold, rectifying current gaps in information.

The proposal was submitted to the Union government and to the President one year ago because property registration and land acquisition fall under central legislation, and similar reforms have been advanced by other states. With property registrations in the state rising by 12.3 per cent, the Chief Minister has raised the target for the Stamps and Registration Department for the fiscal year. Revenue collection reached Rs 226,290 million (mn) in the 2025–26 fiscal year and a target of Rs 290,000 mn has been set for 2026–27.
