SAMPADA 2.0: MP Property Registration, e-Stamp and Guideline Value Guide

SAMPADA 2.0 is Madhya Pradesh’s online system for registering property documents and buying e-stamps, run by the Inspector General of Registration and Superintendent of Stamps under the state’s Commercial Tax Department. It went live across the state on 10 October 2024, replacing the original SAMPADA that had handled e-registration since July 2015. If you’re buying a flat in Indore or signing a power of attorney from Dubai for a plot in Ratlam, the deed and the stamp duty on it both pass through SAMPADA 2.0.

Most people arrive with one wrong idea: that the new portal lets you register any property from your sofa. It doesn’t, not for every deed. The state says 75 of about 140 document types can be registered facelessly through video KYC, and only when the land or municipal record already sits with the custodian department and every party has done Aadhaar e-KYC. Everything else still ends in a booked slot at the sub-registrar’s office. This guide sorts out which route you’re on, then walks through sign-up, login, e-stamps, e-registry and guideline value checks.

SAMPADA 2.0 at a Glance

SAMPADA stands for Stamps and Management of Property and Documents Application. The table below has the basics from the department’s own manuals and the state’s press releases.

What SAMPADA 2.0 Does and Who It’s For

SAMPADA 2.0 covers every step between agreeing a property deal and holding a registered deed. In one account, the portal:

• calculates the stamp duty, the tax the state levies on a legal document;
• issues the e-stamp that proves the duty was paid;
• drafts the deed from a template and collects e-signatures;
• registers the document with a sub-registrar.

The registered copy then reaches the parties by email and WhatsApp, and the October 2024 launch note adds DigiLocker, which the DigiLocker explainer covers.

The change from SAMPADA 1.0 is where the data comes from. The old system made you pick district, tehsil, ward and guideline location from drop-downs and type in areas yourself. The new one pulls property details from the custodian departments:

• the Commissioner Land Records (CLR) for agricultural land, searched by Land Parcel ID or ULPIN;
• the Urban Administration and Development Department (UADD) for municipal property IDs;
• the Panchayat and Rural Development department (PNRD) for panchayat property IDs.

That is the same record-of-rights data the national push behind land records management in India is trying to clean up. When the owner’s name in that record and the name in the seller’s Aadhaar e-KYC agree, most of the deed fills itself. When they don’t, you’ll spend your time fixing the record, not the deed.

The portal serves four kinds of users:

• Citizens, Indian or non-resident, who buy, sell, gift, lease or mortgage property
• Legal entities such as companies, firms, societies and banks, which register through an authorized person
• Service providers, the licensed deed writers who prepare documents for others
• Partial users, who only want to search registered documents and buy certified copies

How to Do SAMPADA 2.0 Registration as a Citizen

SAMPADA 2.0 registration means creating your user account, and it’s tied to Aadhaar e-KYC. Every party to an e-registry has to be a registered user, so the buyer, the seller and any witness each go through this once. Keep the phone linked to your Aadhaar with you before you start.

1. Open sampada.mpigr.gov.in and click Register.
2. Choose Register as Citizen (or Register as Legal Entity for a company, firm or bank).
3. Pick Indian citizen or Non-Resident Indian.
4. Enter your mobile number, click Get OTP, enter the OTP and submit.
5. For Aadhaar e-KYC, enter your Aadhaar number or VID, choose mobile OTP, fingerprint or iris, give consent and verify.
6. Check the details that auto-fill from Aadhaar, then add the remaining demographic details, permanent address, contact details and account details.
7. Accept the terms and submit.

Non-resident Indians enter a passport number and upload the passport as a PDF in place of Aadhaar e-KYC, then fill the same address and account screens. Companies validate themselves by CIN, GSTIN or PAN and upload an authorization letter for the person who’ll act for them.

If you only want to search documents, the login screen has a lighter route, Citizen Registration for Document Search/Certified Copy. It asks for your name, a mobile number and an email ID, each verified by OTP.

How SAMPADA 2.0 Login Works

SAMPADA 2.0 login has two routes, and both start from the Login button on the home page.

1. Click Login and select the Citizen/Service provider option.
2. Either enter your user name or mobile number with your password, or click login with mobile OTP and enter your registered mobile number.
3. Enter the captcha, and the OTP if you chose that route.
4. Click login to reach your dashboard.

The OTP route is the safer habit for occasional users. People who register once for a single sale and come back a year later rarely remember the password, while the registered number usually still works.

How to Buy a SAMPADA 2.0 e-Stamp

An e-stamp is the electronic certificate that shows the stamp duty on a document has been paid, and it replaces physical stamp paper and franking in the state. The department’s e-stamp manual says the system carries 141 instruments, from an affidavit to a sale deed, each with its own duty rule. A SAMPADA 2.0 e stamp is also the first half of every e-registry, since the duty has to be paid before the deed is registered.

1. Log in and open the E-stamp menu, then choose Initiate E-stamp.
2. Choose to buy for yourself or as the representative of a legal entity.
3. Search for the instrument by name, or pick the deed type and then the instrument from the drop-downs.
4. Add the parties. The person initiating is added as first party; search other parties by user name or mobile number if they’re registered, or enter their details by hand if they aren’t. A bilateral deed needs both parties, a unilateral one only the first.
5. Click Save and Next to see the duty break-up: government stamp duty, municipal duty, janpad duty, upkar and any exempted amount.
6. Choose Judicial or Non-Judicial, then pay from your SAMPADA wallet or through the online cyber treasury option.
7. Where drafting is mandatory for that instrument, click proceed, fill in the deed on the template and submit.
8. E-sign by Aadhaar OTP (through CDAC or eMudra) or with a digital signature certificate (DSC).

Anyone holding an e-stamp can check it from the home page using Verify e-Stamp, or by scanning its QR code in the mobile app. When the e-stamp is used for a registry, it’s marked consumed through the Consume E-stamp option with an OTP from a party, so the same certificate can’t be used twice.

How to Register a Property Document Through e-Registry

The e-registry is the full registration of a document. Its opening steps are the same whether you’ll finish at the office or over video.

1. Log in and click Initiate Registry under the E-Registry tab, then accept the instruction and declaration screen.
2. Select the instrument, for example a sale deed or gift deed.
3. Identify the property by Property ID, Land Parcel ID or ULPIN, a SAMPADA Geo Tag ID, an address search or a pin on the map. Check the guideline location and owner the portal shows, then click Confirm and Save Property Location.
4. Add the first party (seller, donor or executant) and the second party (buyer or recipient), including any power-of-attorney holder, guardian for a minor and witnesses.
5. Link previous registries of the property where asked, and review the valuation the system calculates.
6. Check the duties and registration fee screen, prepare the deed and send it to every party to validate.
7. Pay the duty and fee from the wallet or through cyber treasury.
8. Send the deed to every party for Aadhaar e-sign.
9. Book the slot and choose how the registration finishes.

That last step offers up to three routes. Office based registry means everyone appears at the sub-registrar’s office on the booked slot. Non-Interactive Video KYC means each party records a short self-verification video from a link, after which the document can be registered without anyone visiting. Interactive Video KYC means the parties join a live video call with a cyber sub-registrar, give an Aadhaar OTP and read a statement on camera. The portal charges ₹500 for video KYC.

If the video options don’t appear, the manuals give four conditions to check:

• the instrument must allow faceless registration;
• the property details must come from the custodian department;
• every party must have Aadhaar e-KYC;
• the document can’t have more than 10 parties.

How to Check the SAMPADA 2.0 Guideline Rate

The guideline rate (often called the collector rate or circle rate elsewhere) is the minimum value per square meter or hectare the state fixes for each location, and the portal’s duty calculation uses it to value the property. The district collector issues the rates after the Inspector General of Registration approves them through three-tier committees, and the portal shows the rates for the current financial year. You don’t need to log in to check a SAMPADA 2.0 guideline rate.

1. Open the portal home page and click View Guideline for the map of rates, or Property Valuation for a full calculation.
2. Find the property by address search, Property ID, Land Parcel ID, ULPIN, Geo Tag ID or a pin on the map.
3. Check the guideline location the portal pins, and click the Guideline Rates button to see the rates for that location.
4. For a valuation, confirm the property type (agricultural land, building or plot) and enter the area. If only part of the property is changing hands, choose Do You Wish to Transact the Partial Area of Property and enter that area.
5. Enter the usage, construction details such as floor type and year for a building, and any sub-clause that applies.
6. Click Show Market Value to see the guideline valuation, then print it or continue.

The mobile app does the same under Know Your Guideline Rates. It’s the quickest way to sanity-check a seller’s price before you pay a token amount.

Documents Needed for SAMPADA 2.0

The portal replaces most paper, but you still need the inputs it verifies against. Keep these ready before you start an e-registry:

• Aadhaar of every party, with the linked mobile number working, for e-KYC and e-sign
• PAN for any transaction where the property value or the consideration is above ₹10 lakh, or Form 60/61 where the rules allow it
• Passport (as a PDF) for non-resident parties
• Property ID: the Land Parcel ID or ULPIN for farmland, or the municipal or panchayat property ID for urban and village property
• Details of previous registries of the property
• Loan, electricity (IVRS) and municipal tax details if they don’t come through automatically
• Photos of the property from three angles, captured through the SAMPADA 2.0 mobile app
• For companies, CIN, GSTIN or PAN and an authorization letter
• For a power-of-attorney holder, the registered or authenticated POA document number or e-stamp code

If your Aadhaar details are out of date, fix them first through the Aadhaar update process, and if you don’t yet have a PAN, the PAN application guide walks through it. Both mismatches stop an e-registry halfway.

SAMPADA 2.0 Fees, Duty and Timelines

What you pay depends on the instrument, and the portal’s duty calculator does the arithmetic. The department’s published chart shows how a sale deed’s charges stack up. It’s dated 1 January 2021, so treat it as the structure and rely on the calculator’s break-up for the current figures.

The chart lists municipal and janpad duty in separate columns, and the calculator applies the local duty that fits the property’s location. Here’s what that means on a property valued at ₹40 lakh where the 3% municipal duty applies:

• principal stamp duty at 5%: ₹2,00,000
• municipal duty at 3%: ₹1,20,000
• upkar at 10% of ₹2,00,000: ₹20,000
• total duty: ₹3,40,000, or 8.5% of the value
• registration fee at 3%: ₹1,20,000

The chart treats some deeds far more lightly. A gift of immovable property to a family member carries 2.5% principal duty against 5% in other cases, and a power of attorney without consideration to a family member attracts a flat ₹1,000. The full list of 142 rows sits in the stamp duty and registration fee chart.

Timelines matter as much as rates:

• Section 23 of the Registration Act, 1908 gives four months from the date of execution to present a document for registration.
• The portal deletes an initiated registry if the duty and fee aren’t paid within four months of initiation.
• Section 17 of the Act makes registration compulsory for gifts of immovable property and for other deeds that create or transfer rights in immovable property worth ₹100 or more, and Section 49 says an unregistered document of that kind doesn’t affect the property.
• A certified copy of a registered document costs ₹300; searching is free for registered users.

How to Track Your Application

SAMPADA 2.0 has no single status page. Each service keeps its own record in your dashboard.

• E-registry: search by the E-Registry Initiation Id, which the portal asks for on its status screens. The registered document number replaces it once the registry is complete.
• Slot: use Slot Availability / Reschedule to see or move an office slot.
• Video KYC: the Video KYC Dashboard shows which parties have completed their link or joined the call.
• E-stamp: Verify e-Stamp shows whether a code is genuine and whether it’s been consumed.
• Payments: the Payment Module lists wallet and treasury transactions, which is where a failed payment shows up.
• Refunds: the refund request list shows each request’s number, date, amount and status.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Most failures on SAMPADA 2.0 trace back to data, not the software. The manuals and portal messages point to these fixes:

• The video KYC option is missing. Check the four conditions: the instrument allows faceless registration, the property data comes from CLR, UADD or PNRD, all parties have done Aadhaar e-KYC and there are no more than 10 parties. If one fails, book an office slot.
• The KYC name doesn’t match the owner in the record. The portal flags the mismatch at the party details step. Correct the land or municipal record, or the Aadhaar details, before you restart; the portal won’t settle a spelling dispute for you.
• The OTP for e-KYC or e-sign doesn’t arrive. The OTP goes to the mobile linked with Aadhaar, not the one you registered on SAMPADA. Update the Aadhaar-linked number, or choose fingerprint or iris e-KYC, which needs an Aadhaar-registered biometric device.
• Money left the bank but the e-stamp didn’t issue. Check the treasury transactions in the Payment Module and view the challan before paying again.
• You want your money back for an unused e-stamp. Only the issuer can apply, through Refund Request in the Payment Module, with bank details and a cancelled cheque. E-stamps of ₹500 or less aren’t refundable. A completed e-stamp can be refunded within 2 months of payment and an uncompleted one within 6 months.
• The registry vanished from the dashboard. Registries left unpaid for four months are deleted automatically; you’ll have to initiate a fresh one.

Where to Complain About SAMPADA 2.0

Start inside the portal. The Need Help? Raise Ticket option logs a complaint against your account, and the header lists the Help Desk at 0755-2780133. For a dispute about a specific registration, such as a refused document or a delayed slot, the district registrar who supervises your sub-registrar’s office is the next step, since the help desk handles portal problems, not a registering officer’s decision on a document.

SAMPADA 2.0 Today

SAMPADA 2.0 now runs registration and e-stamping in every district of Madhya Pradesh, and the state keeps adding services to it. Three dated developments matter for users:

• 8 August 2025: the state announced that SAMPADA 2.0 had won the National e-Governance Gold Award 2025 from the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, in the category Government Process Re-engineering by Use of Technology for Digital Transformation. It was presented at the national e-governance conference in Visakhapatnam, as the state reported on 22 September 2025.
• 16 February 2026: Chief Minister Mohan Yadav opened a Cyber Registration Office at Registration Bhawan, Bhopal. The state says more than 75 services, including loans, power of attorney, mining leases, affidavits and partnership deeds, can now be registered this way, and that transfers involving the Housing Board and development authorities no longer need an office visit.
• The same release put registrations under the system at more than 14.95 lakh documents, and said Cyber Tehsil, running in 55 districts, handles revenue partition and mutation through SAMPADA 2.0.

That last link is the one to watch. A registered sale that flows straight into mutation closes the old gap between the registry and the land record, the same gap the national land-record reforms under DILRMP are chasing. For readers following e-governance as a subject, SAMPADA 2.0 is a clean example of process re-engineering rather than a PDF form put online. For a comparable state portal on the land-record side, see the UP Bhulekh khatauni guide.
