Bihar Government Starts ₹100 Land Registry Plan for Everyday People
In a big step toward curbing corruption and making life easier, the Bihar government has rolled out a scheme that lets people register land for only ₹100. Aimed at poorer and middle-income families, the plan cuts high fees and long waits that have kept many from securing their property.
Under the new rule, the low price applies only to gift deeds passed to family members. So, if someone wants to give a plot to a husband, wife, child, or another close relative, they now pay just that small fee instead of thousands. Many households in cities and villages are breathing easier because of it.
Who Can Use This Offer?
The ₹100 offer is open only for blood kin and direct family. That covers
Husband and wife
Parents and children
Brothers and sisters
Grandparents and grandchildren
Because of the scheme, families can transfer land as a gift without facing huge stamp duties and registry charges that once ran into the thousands.
What Do You Need for the ₹100 Registry?
If you want to use the new ₹100 land-gift registry, be sure to take these papers to your local office:
Both peoples Aadhaar cards (giver and receiver)
A PAN card
Two recent passport-size photos
Proof showing who owns the lan
A simple affidavit saying the gift costs nothing
Keep in mind that the ₹100 fee covers only the registry itself. Offices can still add small charges for scanning or processing, but even with those extras the total stays much lower than under the old system.
Why Is This Change So Important?
In the past, giving land to a relative could cost someone tens of thousands of rupees. These big bills made many folks skip the registration step or put it off for years. That delay not only created legal headaches later but also opened the door to fights over ownership.
Now, thanks to the Bihar governments move, thousands of families can pass on land for almost nothing. Doing so will cut down on fraud, make records clearer, and officially document more parcels.
Experts say clearer titles will also spark growth in rural real estate because people can buy, sell, and inherit with confidence.
How People Are Responding
So far, folks are really happy with the change. Crowds have been showing up at registry offices just to ask questions, and many have already signed their papers under the new rule. Districts like Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, and Bhagalpur are buzzing with fresh land-gifting cases. One man from Gaya even told us that he used to think twice about giving his daughter a small plot because the fees were steep. Thanks to the fresh policy, he paid just ₹100 and got the new deed back at his door in a matter of days.
Government’s Objective
The state only set up this scheme so the whole signing process feels friendly, not stressful, and to lift heavy costs off peoples shoulders. Registry staff have been told to cut out delays and any hint of bribes, making every visit smoother than before.
Bihar s Revenue and Land Reforms Department is watching closely, ordering every office to stick to the new rules and treat every qualifying citizen the same way, with no hassles allowed.
Final Words
The new ₹100 land registry rule is being called a brave move for Bihars land reform team. It puts money back in the hands of everyday people and encourages calm, legal hand-offs between family members. Officials are betting that many more will step up, pay the small fee, and store their land record safely in the books.
With this plan in place, the state hopes few arguments will spring up over who owns what, fewer court papers will pile on families, and clearer records will plug into a fairer, more open government.
