Uttar Pradesh will implement Aadhaar-based authentication for all property registrations starting February 1, 2026. The move aims to prevent fraudulent registrations, verify identities electronically, and strengthen transparency and security in the property registration system.
The Uttar Pradesh government has announced that Aadhaar-based authentication will become mandatory for property registration across the state starting February 1, 2026. This initiative is intended to enhance transparency and security in the property registration process, while reducing instances of fraudulent registrations and impersonation.
According to the government, the new system will require the identity of all parties involved in property transactions, including executants, witnesses, and buyers to be verified electronically using Aadhaar-based e-KYC, biometric authentication, and e-signatures. The decision follows the enforcement of the Uttar Pradesh Online Document Registration Rules, 2024, which were notified under Section 69 of the Registration Act, 1908.
Officials indicate that the adoption of Aadhaar verification is expected to prevent registrations carried out by impersonators and to reduce disputes arising from forged documents. By integrating digital authentication methods into the registration process, authorities aim to create a more reliable and secure system for citizens.
All Sub-Registrar Offices in Uttar Pradesh have been instructed to implement the Aadhaar-based verification process. These offices will conduct mandatory identity checks during deed registration to confirm the authenticity of the parties involved. This is seen as a significant step toward minimizing legal conflicts and enhancing trust in the property registration ecosystem.
The government has highlighted that the new process is part of a broader push toward digital governance and technology-driven administration. Through these reforms, officials aim to strengthen the digital registration infrastructure, improve accountability, and safeguard property rights more effectively.
Experts note that while Aadhaar authentication could help reduce fraudulent activity, the successful implementation of the system will depend on the capacity of Sub-Registrar Offices to manage the technology and ensure proper verification without causing delays for citizens.
Overall, the introduction of mandatory Aadhaar verification in property registration represents a move toward a more secure, transparent, and digitized system for managing property transactions in Uttar Pradesh.
