Unbelievable But True: Register Land in Your Name for ₹100 – Land Registry New Rule

🔍 What I Found

  • Several websites and news-aggregator pages are carrying stories that there’s a new land registry rule that charges ₹100 (or less) for registration, especially targeting farmers, low-income families, or small land parcels.
  • Often these articles use vague language (“eligible areas,” “new rules apply,” “digital portals,” etc.) without citing official government orders or state revenue department notices.
  • Sometimes the timelines are inconsistent: some say “from May 15, 2025,” others “from June 1,” others “31 May,” etc.

⚠️ What Seems Off or Unconfirmed

  • I did not find any reference on official central government or state government portals confirming a national scheme to register land for ₹100.
  • No gazetted notification or official announcement from Revenue Department found in credible news sources.
  • Many articles are localized or specific states have their own policies; a broad “across India” policy is less likely without wide publicity.
  • Some of these are possibly mis-interpretations or exaggerations of reduced fees or subsidies in certain states or for certain categories (BPL families, women, etc.).

✅ What’s Plausible & What To Check

Plausible elements:

  • States sometimes reduce stamp duty or registration fees for categories like BPL, SC/ST, women, small landowners.
  • Digitization of land records and online registration is a real ongoing initiative in many places.
  • New schemes in states might allow discounted or nominal fees in restricted cases.

What you should verify:

  • Look up the Revenue Department of your state or land registry office’s official website.
  • Search for official notifications or government orders about “registration fees rules 2025” / “discounted registration fees” in your state.
  • Check local district or Tehsil offices to see what is being implemented locally.
  • Watch for credible news sources (major newspapers, government releases) confirming the policy.

💡 Summary

  • As of now, there is no confirmed country-wide rule that land registration has become ₹100.
  • Chances are, the stories are a mix of local pilot schemes, rumors, or misleading headlines.
  • If you or someone you know heard of this, do check the official website of your state’s land registry or revenue department to confirm.
