Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday (January 13) announced that senior citizens aged 80 years and above will be able to register their land or flats from their homes. The facility will be provided through a mobile registration unit operated by the Prohibition, Excise, and Registration Department. Applicants will be able to apply online, and the new system will come into effect from April 1, 2026.

Relief For Elderly Facing Registration Difficulties

In a post on social media platform X, the Chief Minister said it has frequently been observed that people aged 80 and above face considerable hardship while completing land or flat registration formalities. The decision, he said, has been taken to ease their inconvenience and spare them unnecessary trouble during the registration process.

Pre-Registration Land Information For Buyers And Sellers

Nitish Kumar also pointed out that people intending to purchase land often do not have access to updated and accurate information about the property. To address this, arrangements are being made to provide both buyers and sellers with details about the land’s status prior to registration.

Under the proposed system, the Registration Department will, on the applicant’s request, obtain land-related information from the zonal office and share it with the buyer. This, the Chief Minister said, will ensure that applicants receive correct and authentic information before completing the registration.

The Chief Minister stated that following the formation of the new government in the state on November 20, 2025, the “Saat Nischay-3” programmes have been implemented with the objective of making Bihar one of the most developed states in the country.

He said the seventh resolution under “Saat Nischay-3”, titled “Sabka Samman – Jeevan Aasan”, aims to simplify citizens’ lives by reducing everyday difficulties. A series of important decisions are being taken in this direction.

Expressing confidence in the usefulness of the initiative, Nitish Kumar said the facility would greatly benefit elderly residents aged 80 years and above, while the provision of updated land information would help all citizens. He also invited people to submit suggestions related to the new system through designated channels by January 19, 2026.
