Guide about How to register Property Online in Kolkata

Property registration is important for recording the ownership of a property. Understanding the importance of property registration, the West Bengal government has made the procedure relatively simple. The land registration rules, as well as the guidelines in Kolkata, are under the control of the state government of West Bengal. In order to improve transparency and provide ease in the property transactions, the West Bengal government opened an online portal. The online portal enables easy and convenient registration of property and the payment of the stamp duty through net banking. The complete procedure of registering the property is called ‘e nathikaran.’ While the form is submitted online, and the payment is also made online, the deed needs to be presented physically.
