WB Land Deed Online: A deed is a very important document in matters related to land and property. However, sometimes due to carelessness or other reasons, this valuable document can be lost, damaged, or become inaccessible. It’s natural to be worried in such a situation. But now, thanks to the initiative of the West Bengal government, you can apply for and download a certified copy of your lost or damaged deed online from the comfort of your home. In this article, we will discuss the entire process step by step.

How to Find Deed Information (https://wbregistration.gov.in/)

First, you need to visit the official website of the Directorate of Registration and Stamp Revenue, Government of West Bengal (https://wbregistration.gov.in/). From here, you will find the necessary information about your deed.

• After entering the website, go to the “e-Services” section and select the “Searching of Deed” option.
• If you do not have the deed number or registration date, there is nothing to worry about. You can also search by the seller’s, buyer’s, or party’s name and the year of registration.
• To refine your search, you can filter by last name and the year of registration.
• After finding the correct deed, note down the “Deed Number” and the name of the registration office (e.g., ADSR Howrah) from the displayed information. The deed number is typically the five-digit number before the registration year (for example, “05875” from “05875/2010”).

Applying for a Certified Copy (e-District Portal)

After getting the deed information, you now need to go to the e-District portal to apply for a certified copy of the deed.

• Log in to the e-District portal with your user ID and password. If you do not have an account, you will need to create a new one first.
• After logging in, go to the “Service” option, search for “Deed,” and choose the “Certified Copy of Registered Deed” option.
• Agree to the necessary terms and conditions, then select “New Application” and then “Digitally Signed Copy.”
• Now, you need to correctly fill in your district name, the five-digit deed number you noted earlier, and the year of registration.
• In the next step, provide your personal information such as name, phone number, email ID, and address.
• Review all the information carefully and then submit the application.

Payment and Deed Download

After submitting the application, you will have to pay a specific amount (e.g., ₹86) online through the GRIPS portal.

• After the payment is completed, your application status may initially show as “Draft,” and it might take some time for the AIN number to be generated. Wait for a few hours. If the status does not update, you can use the “Help Desk” option for assistance.
• Keep in mind that it may take several days or even weeks for the certified copy to be generated and become available for download.
• Once your application is approved, you can click on the “Download Certificate” option to download the PDF file of your certified deed copy.
• This digitally signed copy is a scanned version of the original deed and is valid for all legal purposes.
