Madhya Pradesh became the first state in India to provide free registration for rural residential properties under the Swamitva Adhikar Abhilekh Nispadan Evam Panjiyan Yojana-2026. The scheme was launched by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav in Indore on September 17, 2026. It targets the registration of approximately 50 lakh privately owned rural properties across all 55 districts of the state. Beneficiaries are exempted from Stamp Duty and Registration fees for their property documents. The month-long campaign will run from September 17 to October 17, 2026, with Patwaris facilitating the process at the village level and revenue officials finalising registrations.
