Online Will Registration in Faridabad: Complete Step-by-Step Guide
One of the most important tasks of your life is planning the future of your estate. Making a will and getting it registered provides clarity and security about who will own his or her property after his or her death. Now in Faridabad you can register your Will from the comfort of your home by following the procedure of "Online Will Registration". In this guide, we will explain the entire process step-by-step in simple, so that you can register your will without any stress.
Nowadays most of the work is being done through the internet, but registration has still not become completely paperless. In Faridabad (and whole Haryana), you can do three things online on the Jamabandi website:
Download the draft (template) of the Will.
Generate the challan for e-Stamp or registration fees.
Book an appointment slot at the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO).
The final biometric sign-off must still be completed at the SRO building located in Sector 12 Mini Secretariat. However, completing the preliminary steps online helps avoid long queues and streamlines the registration process in one visit. For legal advice or assistance, feel free to contact Advocate Subhash Ahlawat.
Advance Preparation – Documentation and Drafting
Will Format: This template will be available in Word/PDF format from the Jamabandi portal; both Hindi-English versions are available. Fill in the details of your assets, beneficiaries, executor in the blank spaces.

Address Proof: Electricity Bill, Voter ID or License.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When will it be completely online?
The “execution” part of registration is not yet allowed through digital signature due to the Indian Registration Act. The Haryana government is planning an e-sign pilot in the future, but the launch date has not been announced.
Q: Is it necessary to affix a stamp paper on a Will?
No. The Indian Stamp Act schedule exempts stamp duty on Wills; plain A4 is sufficient. Only ₹20 per page is charged for the registration process.
Q: Are remote witnesses allowed?
No. Biometric presence is mandatory. Proxy witnesses require a separately registered Special Power of Attorney (SPA).
Q: How to correct mistakes in draft?
File a “Codicil” or anti-relief fresh Will by booking a new slot from the portal. The latest dated Will will be valid.
Q: What if you are an NRI?
You can authorise a relative through SPA. You need to get the SPA signed duly authenticated at the Indian Consulate/Embassy, after which it will be registered at Faridabad SRO.
Pro-tips to make online and offline travel easier
Choose weekends: Monday/Tuesday are less crowded.
Avoid lunch breaks: 1-2 p.m counters are closed.
Carry a blue pen: The registrar prefers blue ink to detect tampering.
Double-check the draft: Verify the property list, spellings and dates – cutting is not allowed.
Keep a soft case: After registration, a signed PDF download link is also provided from the portal; save it in Google Drive or DigiLocker.
