Will registration in Rajasthan: the short answer
Registration is handled by the Department of Registration and Stamps, Government of Rajasthan through e-Panjiyan. You register where you live, and the Will can deal with property anywhere in India.

Three kinds of property, three record offices
A house in an old city area may only be backed by an old sale deed or a family partition. A plot from a development authority such as the JDA has its own allotment and lease papers. Farmland is held as khatedari land under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955, recorded in the jamabandi. Your Will should describe each one in the terms its own records use.
Old family houses
If the family house came down without a partition, you may own a share rather than the whole house. A Will can only deal with what you own. We check the papers first, so the Will does not give away a brother's or cousin's share by mistake.
How it works in Rajasthan
In Rajasthan, you sign the Will before two witnesses, book a slot on e-Panjiyan at the Sub-Registrar office covering your home address, and attend together for identity checks, photographs and thumb impressions. The Will is recorded and handed back, usually the same day. We confirm the office and book the slot for you.
