Will Registration Process in Jaipur (Rajasthan) – 2025 Guide

A clear, legally accurate city-specific guide + how AasaanWill manages end-to-end Will registration.

1. Understanding Will Registration in Jaipur

In Jaipur, a Will can be registered at the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) based on:

• The testator’s residential address, OR

• The location of immovable property listed in the Will (accepted in many offices with proof)

While Will registration is optional under Indian law, in Rajasthan it is strongly recommended because it:

• Reduces family, succession, and property disputes

• Legally validates identity, intent, and free will

• Makes tampering, fraud, or false claims extremely difficult

• Creates a permanent government-verified legal record

Will registration in Jaipur is governed by:

• The Registration Act, 1908

• Rajasthan Registration Rules

• Guidelines from the Inspector General of Registration & Stamps, Rajasthan

2. Government Fees for Will Registration in Jaipur

Costs usually include:

• Registration fee: ₹50–₹1,000 (varies slightly by SRO and document length)

• Scanning, digital archival & administrative charges

There is no stamp duty for registering a Will in Rajasthan.

Payment options:

• IGRS Rajasthan (e-Gras) online payment

• Cash/card payment at the Sub-Registrar Office (depends on location)

(An AasaanWill specialist handles e-Challan and payment formalities end-to-end.)

3. Processing Time

• At the Registrar’s Office: 1–3 hours depending on token flow

• Registered Will Delivery: 7–15 working days

Once ready, the SRO typically notifies via SMS or through manual follow-up.

The Will must be collected by the testator, unless the SRO allows authorised collection.
