What is AnyRoR Gujarat?

AnyRoR is the acronym for "Any Record of Rights Anywhere in Gujarat." It is a web-based system that digitizes and provides online access to various land records for both rural and urban areas of Gujarat. The initiative is a cornerstone of the state's efforts towards e-governance in land management.

Key Objectives and Benefits:

• Transparency: Ensures clarity in land ownership and transaction history.
• Accessibility: Allows citizens to view land records anytime, anywhere, without needing to visit physical offices.
• Efficiency: Streamlines processes related to land record verification, mutation, and property transactions.
• Fraud Prevention: Reduces fraudulent activities and land disputes by providing accurate and verifiable digital records.

• Empowerment: Empowers landowners by giving them direct access to their property details.

AnyRoR is a critical tool for farmers, property owners, buyers, legal professionals, and financial institutions in Gujarat.

Property Registration Process in Gujarat (Overview)

While AnyRoR primarily provides access to land records, the actual property registration in Gujarat is handled by the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) and Superintendent of Stamps department, often through the **GARVI (Gujarat Automation of Administration of Registration, Valuation & Indexing)** portal.

The process generally involves several steps, a significant part of which is now facilitated online:

1. Document Preparation: Draft the Sale Deed or relevant legal document with the help of a legal professional. Ensure all parties' details are correct.
2. Calculate Stamp Duty & Registration Fees: Use the online calculators (often available on the GARVI portal) to determine the applicable stamp duty and registration fees based on the property's market value (Jantri rate). Stamp duty in Gujarat is around 4.9% and registration fee is 1% of the market value, though rates can change.
3. Online Public Data Entry: Fill in the property and party details online on the GARVI portal. This pre-fills many fields, saving time at the sub-registrar's office.
4. Pay Stamp Duty & Registration Fees: Payment can often be done online through various modes (net banking, UPI, debit/credit cards) or at designated bank branches.
5. Book Appointment: Schedule an appointment online at the relevant Sub-Registrar's Office (SRO) for the final registration.
6. Visit Sub-Registrar's Office:
   • On the appointed date, both buyer(s) and seller(s) (and witnesses) must be present.
   • Submit all original documents and their self-attested copies.
   • Biometric verification (fingerprints, photograph) of all parties is conducted.
   • The Sub-Registrar verifies documents and details.
7. Receive Registered Document: After successful verification and registration, the registered sale deed is issued.
8. Mutation of Property Records: Post-registration, the new owner should apply for mutation (change of ownership) in the land records through the AnyRoR or e-Dhara system to update the 7/12 or Property Card with their name. This is a crucial final step to reflect the ownership change in government records.

It is highly recommended to consult a legal expert for property registration to ensure all legal formalities are correctly followed.

e-Dhara Kendras and Offline Assistance

While AnyRoR provides online access, the Government of Gujarat has also established **e-Dhara Kendras** (e-Dhara Centers) in every Taluka of the state. These centers facilitate citizens who may not have internet access or require assistance with land record-related services.

Services at e-Dhara Kendras:

• Assistance in viewing and printing RoR (7/12, 8A).
• Application for mutation entries (change of ownership, inheritance, etc.).
• Updating land records.
• Splitting land parcels.
• Obtaining digitally signed copies of land records (often for a nominal fee).

These centers bridge the digital divide and provide crucial support for land-related transactions.
