Patna: After surpassing its revenue target for the financial year 2025-26, the registration department of Bihar has set a more ambitious goal of Rs 10,000 crore for the financial year 2026-27. The department successfully collected Rs 8,403 crore in 2025-26, achieving 101% of its target of Rs 8,250 crore.
Deputy Chief Minister Highlights Achievement
Deputy Chief Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav, who also oversees the prohibition, excise, and registration department, described the achievement as a major milestone. He stated that it reflects steady growth and strong performance in revenue generation. Yadav was addressing a press conference at Soochana Bhawan on Monday to present the department's accomplishments.
He noted that revenue collection in 2025-26 was significantly higher than the Rs 7,648 crore collected in 2024-25, marking an increase of Rs 754 crore. Additionally, the department had collected Rs 4,257 crore in 2020-21, indicating a sharp rise in revenue in recent years.
Attribution of Success
Yadav attributed the record collection to a robust working mechanism, technological innovation, effective monitoring, and the dedicated efforts of officials and employees. Encouraged by this performance, the department has now set an ambitious target of Rs 10,000 crore for 2026-27.
Future Plans: Paperless Registration
Outlining future plans, Yadav said the state cabinet has approved the Bihar Registration Rules-2026 to make the registration process completely paperless. Steps have already been initiated to ensure document registration is carried out without physical paperwork.
Under the new rules, parties will no longer need to prepare documents physically, and registrations will be completed digitally using digital signatures of both parties and officials. This move is expected to reduce delays, improve convenience, and increase transparency.
Digitisation and Transparency
Yadav added that old documents will also be fully digitised. Human interface will be minimized, while transparency will be strengthened through a mobile app and GIS technology for determining land categories. Senior citizens aged 80 years and above will be able to complete registration of land, plots, flats, and other properties from their homes.
He further stated that 2.34 crore documents from 1995 to 2026 have already been digitised, and the remaining work will be completed during the current financial year.
