The State portal accepts uploads and biometric authentication, but the final deed scan omits an annexure. The transaction team must reconcile the executed original, uploaded file, office scan, certificate and downloaded copy.
| Calculation/control | Method | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Digital completion | Track profile, appointment, upload, payment, appearance and certificate milestones. | Portal logs and receipts |
| File integrity | Hash and compare executed, uploaded and registered copies. | Checksum and version register |

Finin2min Q&A
What is the first step?
Classify the document and operative rights before applying Online Appointment, E-registration and Biometric Workflow Master.
Is registration alone proof of valid title?
No. Registration creates a public statutory record and legal consequences, but does not cure defective title, capacity, authority, illegality, fraud or insufficient stamp.
Why is the State overlay essential?
Section 69 Rules, State amendments, fee tables, office jurisdiction, online workflow, valuation and refusal controls differ materially.
What evidence should be retained?
The exact source pack, final executed instrument, stamp and fee proof, identity and authority, portal/office receipts, endorsements, certificate, registered copy, search record and remedy chronology.
Chapter-specific decision flowchart
State-specific digital registration gate
Do not convert a State workflow into a national rule. The Registration Act, 1908 creates the statutory registration framework, but e-registration, appointment booking, biometric/Aadhaar use, video/photo capture, e-stamping integration, witness workflow and portal steps can differ materially by State/UT and transaction type.
- Verify the current State registration rules, Inspector-General/department circular and official portal instructions on the transaction date.
- Treat Aadhaar/biometric steps as State/portal-specific unless a binding legal instrument makes them mandatory for the relevant case.
- Keep consent/identity/transaction logs and acknowledgement evidence where the portal uses digital verification.
- If portal instructions conflict with the Act/rules or fail technically, retain evidence and use the official grievance/registration-office route rather than improvising a legal requirement.
