After registration of the document, the link of its PDF file will be sent to the registered mobile number or e-mail of the person concerned. Along with this, a printed copy of the registered document will also be made available. This will reduce the need for people to visit separate offices to get copies of documents.

In the new system, the digital record of the documents registered will be kept safe in the data center of the state. This will provide relief from the problem of loss, tearing or damage of paper documents. If needed, an e-certified copy of the document can also be taken out in future.

Fraud will be banned

The paperless system aims to make land registry more secure, transparent and easier. The system of digital verification and e-sign is expected to reduce the possibility of use of fake documents. The department believes that with the use of technology, the functioning of registration offices will also become faster and systematic.

With the implementation of the new system, the process of land registry in Bihar is expected to be more digital and convenient than before. However, in the initial phase, necessary training is also being given to the people and document writers to understand the new system.
