Patna, Apr 27: Buoyed by record revenue collection of Rs 8403.46 crore in 2025-26 which is 101.86 per cent of the target, Registration Department has set an ambitious revenue collection target of Rs 10,000 crore in the current financial year of 20262-7.
Terming the achievement of revenue collections of 101.86 per cent a milestone, Deputy Chief Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav, who also holds Prohibition, Excise & Registration Department, said on Monday that the data shows department’s sustained growth that resulted in strong revenue collections.
Yadav, who was accompanied by Department’s Secretary Ajay Yadav and other officials, was addressing a press conference here at Soochana Bhawan’s conference hall to highlight his department’s achievements of one year.
The department had collected Rs 8403.46 crore as revenue in 2025-26 against its target of Rs 8250 crore, Yadav said adding that department had collected Rs 7648.88 crore in 2024-25, thus registering an additional collection of Rs 754.58 crore. The department collected Rs 4257 crore in 2020-21, he added.
The high revenue collection is the result of department’s robust working mechanism, technical innovation, effective monitoring and dedicated efforts by officials and employees, the minister said while asserting that the department has now set an ambitious revenue collection target of Rs 10,000 crore in the current fiscal.
Talking about department’s future planning, he said that the state cabinet has already given approval to constitute “Bihar Nibandhan Miyamawali 2026 (Bihar Registration Rules 2026)” in order to make the entire registration process “paperless”, Yadav said adding initiatives have been taken for further action to make registration of documents completely paperless.
With the implementation of the Rules 2026, the registration process will become completely paperless. The move would allow the parties not to prepare documents in physical form and would carry digital signatures of registration officials and the parties, he said.
The old documents will be digitised completely, he said adding that human interface will be minimised and system will be made transparent with the use of mobile app and GIS technique for deciding the categories of land.
Senior citizens aged 80 years and above in the state will be able to get their land/plot/flat and other types of registrations done from the comfort of their homes.
Digitisation process has been started to make true copies available to the common people following the computerised registration system.
All the 2.34 crore registered documents between 1995 and 2026 have already been digitised, he said adding that the department has set the target of completing digitisation work in the current financial year.
