The Haryana government has collected revenue of over Rs 4,265.18 crores, as stamp duty and registration fees during the period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, as against Rs 3,260 crores in 2016-17, registering an increase of over Rs 1,005 crores. Revenue and disaster management minister, Capt Abhimanyu, said that this increase in the revenue, was in spite of the slowdown in transactions of immovable property.

Abhimanyu, on April 10, 2018, said that there had been a record increase in the revenue from stamp duty and registration fees, in the state. “This has been achieved, despite market stagnation, as there has not been commensurate increase in the total number of deeds. The stamp collection in the year 2017-18 is the highest so far in the history of the Revenue Department,” he added. He said that this increase in revenue collection was possible, due to regular monitoring and key reforms in land records management and deed registration. “During the last one year, the state has carried out a number of reforms, with an aim to bring 100 per cent transparency in deed registration, zero tolerance and hassle-free services to the citizens,” the minister said.
Abhimanyu, who also holds the finance portfolio, said that a new registration system had been implemented in all tehsils and sub-tehsils of the state, through E-disha, from February 3, 2015, which resulted not only in saving the time of applicants but also helped in keeping a tab on corruption. He said that under this system, the applicant could get the registry through post, within three days. He said the e-stamping system had been implemented in the state, with effect from May 2, 2015, which helped in increasing the revenue and also put a check on corruption.
