India’s Draft Registration Bill 2025 has gained widespread support from the real estate sector. The proposed legislation, which aims to replace the 117-year-old Registration Act of 1908, is seen as a game changer in promoting transparency and efficiency in property transactions.
Leading industry bodies like CREDAI and NAREDCO have applauded the move, stating it demonstrates serious intent to streamline property registration and reduce red tape for homebuyers, developers, and investors.
The Ministry of Rural Development’s Department of Land Resources drafted the bill to usher in a new era of digital property registration. If enacted, the law would allow online submission of sale deeds, mortgage papers, lease agreements, and even court-related property documents.
The draft also seeks to address the current gap in property-related documentation and ensure a more modern, digitized record system. This initiative aligns with the Indian government’s broader Digital India and Ease of Doing Business goals.
According to official sources, wills, powers of attorney, and court orders relating to immovable property will now be handled with greater clarity under the new law. Developers and real estate consultants believe that such reform will significantly reduce disputes and transaction delays.
