Karnataka to introduce e-registration for select records, says CM Siddaramaiah

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday announced that the government will introduce e-registration facility for registration of select records that require mandatory registration. This will not require the presence of parties involved in the transaction.

The government will also extend anytime-anywhere registration across the state, he said.

The Stamps & Registration department, officials said, will soon start a pilot in Tumakuru and Belagavi districts before extending the facility to other districts.


The government, the CM said, will open some sub-registrar offices on Sundays for the convenience of the public.

The government will also roll out a programme for integration of software related to registration of immovable property.

The Stamps & Registration department will offer certified copies through a centralized virtual distribution system to avoid delay.

The government will amend the rules to make registration of records transparent and people friendly.

On Thursday, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda launched the online registration of marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act. “Now one doesn't have to visit the sub-registrar's office for registering their marriage under Hindu Marriage Act. A certificate is generated at the comfort of home by providing a wedding invite, video, and Aadhaar. One more step towards transparency and service delivery,” the minister tweeted.

Bengaluru South MP (BJP) Tejasvi Surya posted on X: “Lakhs of marriages go unregistered due to the hassle of visiting govt offices for a certificate. Welcome move by Shri @krishnabgowda for making the marriage registration process digital & citizen friendly, enabling newlyweds receive certificate at comfort of their home.”
