What is a Sub-Registrar Office?
Understanding the SRO and its role in property registration in Odisha.
Property Registration
The SRO is where all property documents are officially registered. A sale deed, gift deed, or mortgage becomes legally valid only after registration at the SRO under the Indian Registration Act, 1908.
Jurisdiction
Each SRO covers a defined set of villages and towns. Your property can only be registered at the SRO that has jurisdiction over the village or town where the property is located.
Part of IGR Odisha
All SROs in Odisha operate under the Inspector General of Registration (IGR), Odisha. The IGR oversees stamp duty collection, document registration, and maintains the central registration database.
What you need for property registration
Stamp duty payment (e-stamp)
Stamp duty must be paid before registration. Use our stamp duty calculator to estimate the amount. E-stamps can be purchased from authorised vendors or online through the SHCIL portal.
Original deed document
The sale deed, gift deed, or other instrument must be prepared on stamp paper or with e-stamp. Both parties must sign the document before presenting it at the SRO.
Identity proof of both parties
Aadhaar card, PAN card, or other government-issued photo ID of both buyer and seller. Two witnesses with their identity proofs are also required.
Property documents
Previous sale deed or ownership proof, encumbrance certificate, property tax receipts, and ROR from Bhulekh. These establish the seller's right to transfer the property.
Photographs
Recent passport-size photographs of both buyer and seller, and the two witnesses.
How property registration works at the SRO
Pay stamp duty and get e-stamp
Calculate the applicable stamp duty based on property value and deed type. Purchase the e-stamp from an authorised vendor or online.
Prepare and sign the deed
Get the deed drafted by a lawyer, print it on stamp paper or attach e-stamp, and have both parties sign it along with two witnesses.
Book an appointment at the SRO
Book a slot through the IGR Odisha portal (igrodisha.gov.in) or visit the SRO directly. Online booking helps avoid long queues.
Visit the SRO for registration
Both parties, along with witnesses, must be physically present. The Sub-Registrar verifies identities, checks documents, and completes biometric authentication.
Collect the registered document
After registration, the SRO provides the registered deed with a unique registration number. The document is now legally valid and part of the public record.
