The Jammu and Kashmir Government has ordered the mandatory implementation of a fully paperless registration system across all Sub-Registrar Offices in the Union Territory with effect from May 11, 2026, marking a significant step towards digital governance and transparent public service delivery.
The directive was issued through a circular by the Revenue Department, Civil Secretariat, vide Circular No. 03-JK(Rev) of 2026 dated May 8, 2026, signed by Secretary to Government, Revenue Department, Kr. Rajeev Ranjan (IAS).
The newly developed Paperless Registration System, which has already been tested, will now be implemented across Jammu and Kashmir for complete end-to-end digitised registration of deeds. The system covers online verification of parties, calculation of stamp duty and registration fees, digital signing, and preparation of final deeds.
The government has directed that all registration processes shall be carried out exclusively through the new system, with no physical interface or manual handling permitted at any stage.
The Inspector General of Registration has been tasked with ensuring strict compliance and submitting implementation reports for all concerned offices, while all Sub-Registrars have been instructed to make necessary arrangements for smooth execution of the system.
The circular has also warned that any deviation from the instructions will be viewed seriously and may invite action under rules.
