Understanding the costs involved in property registration
Stamp duty is a tax levied on property transactions and varies based on the property's market value. In Telangana, the stamp duty is typically around 4% of the property value.
Registration fees are charged for registering the property documents, and these are around 0.5% of the property value. These fees help maintain the property records officially.
The BHU Bharati portal provides an online calculator to help you estimate the stamp duty and registration fees based on the property's market value, location, and the gender of the buyer.
Online Payment: Through the BHU Bharati portal using net banking, credit/debit cards, or UPI.
Offline Payment: At designated banks or through challans generated on the BHU Bharati portal.
Addressing potential challenges during the registration process
Issue: Mismatches in property area, boundaries, or other details between the sale deed and previous title documents.
Solution: Rectify the discrepancies by preparing a corrigendum deed or by obtaining updated documents from the relevant authorities (e.g., survey department, municipal corporation).
Issue: The Encumbrance Certificate reveals existing loans, liens, or legal disputes on the property.
Solution: The seller must clear all encumbrances before the registration process can proceed. Obtain necessary clearance certificates or resolve legal issues.
Issue: Problems with slot booking, online payment, or document uploading on the BHU Bharati portal.
Solution: Contact the BHU Bharati helpdesk or visit the nearest MeeSeva center for assistance. Regularly check the portal for updates or announcements regarding technical issues.
Issue: Difficulty in biometric authentication due to various reasons (e.g., worn fingerprints, technical issues with the device).
Solution: Try again after cleaning fingers. If the issue persists, the Sub-Registrar may explore alternative verification methods or request a re-submission with clearer biometrics.

Yes, as per Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, any transfer of immovable property valued above ₹100 must be registered to have legal validity.
If all documents are in order and the online processes are completed smoothly, the physical registration at the SRO typically takes 30-45 minutes. However, the entire process, including document preparation and slot booking, may take a few days to a week.
While the BHU Bharati portal allows for online document submission, fee payment, and slot booking, the physical presence of both buyer and seller is required at the Sub-Registrar Office for biometric verification and final registration.
The Encumbrance Certificate is a crucial document that confirms the property is free from any registered charges or encumbrances such as mortgages, liens, or legal notices. It ensures a clear title for the buyer.
You can find the details of the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) relevant to your property's jurisdiction on the BHU Bharati portal under the "Know Your SRO" service.
