Property Registration Made Easier Under Punjab’s ‘Easy Registry’ Initiative
Over 3 lakh property document registrations have been made possible in the last six months of 2025 due to the ‘Easy Registry’ initiative launched by the Punjab government.
Punjab Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian said the initiative has emerged as a “game-changer” in Punjab’s property registration system.
According to the minister, from July 2025 to December 2025, a total of 3,70,967 property documents were registered, marking a major push towards transparent, corruption-free and citizen-friendly land services.
“The response to Easy Registry clearly shows that people trust a system that is transparent, time-bound and free from harassment,” the minister said.
Sharing a breakdown of monthly registrations during the period, Minister Hardeep Mundian said that 64,965 documents were registered in July 2025, followed by 62,001 in August, 55,814 in September and 53,610 in October. He added that the momentum strengthened further with 58,200 registrations in November, while December recorded the highest figure with 76,377 documents.
Explaining the structural reforms, the minister said that ‘Easy Registry,’ with the introduction of online pre-scrutiny of documents, has significantly reduced procedural delays and improved accessibility at Sub-Registrar offices.
He added that “unsigned copies of sale deeds are now scrutinised online within 48 hours,” thereby effectively closing avenues for harassment and corruption.
Under the initiative, all objections raised during scrutiny are monitored by Deputy Commissioners and SDMs to ensure accountability and action against frivolous practices, he said.
Additionally, the implementation of the “First In First Out” principle has ended queue-jumping and favouritism, thereby dismantling the VIP culture in property registration, the minister highlighted.
“Citizens now have the freedom to register documents at any Sub Registrar office within their district. This has broken monopolies and ensured fair and equal access to services for all,” he added.
Highlighting the citizen-centric nature of the initiative, Mundian said applicants receive automated WhatsApp updates at every stage of the process, including scrutiny, payments and appointment scheduling.
He said a direct complaint mechanism has also been put in place to report any demand for bribes, with immediate redressal ensured at the district level.
Moreover, citizens can draft sale deeds through the ‘Draft My Deed’ module, avail services at Sewa Kendra counters established in every Sub-Registrar office, or opt for doorstep drafting and registration through helpline 1076.
Online payment of stamp duty and registration fees through 25 banks in a single transaction has further simplified the process and enhanced convenience for the public, the minister added.
An Integrated Token Management System has also been implemented to prioritise citizens with scheduled appointments and complete documentation, reducing waiting time and ensuring uniform service delivery across both urban and rural Punjab.
Minister Mundian added that “upgraded servers, trained staff and standardised processes” have strengthened public trust and improved revenue collections for the state.
