The short answer
How do I get my YEIDA plot registered after allotment? Six steps turn a fresh allotment into registered, mutated title: (1) verify the allotment and clear YEIDA dues, (2) assemble your documents, (3) execute the lease deed with YEIDA, (4) pay stamp duty and register at the sub-registrar (IGRS-UP), (5) apply for mutation, (6) take physical possession and the possession certificate. This guide is for primary allottees — people who won a plot in a YEIDA draw or direct allotment — not just resale buyers. It’s stage three of the build roadmap.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Charges, formats and timelines vary by scheme and change over time — verify the current position on IGRS-UP and with YEIDA before you act.
Industrial allottee? Your lease deed starts a 48-month clock to a functional certificate — a different obligation from residential. The full timeline and penalty ladder: industrial construction on YEIDA plots.
The 6 steps, allotment to registered title
- Verify the allotment & clear dues. Confirm the allotment is genuine and clear all YEIDA dues — the lease deed cannot be executed while dues are pending. If you’re still checking the letter itself, start with how to verify a YEIDA allotment letter.
- Assemble your documents. Allotment letter, dues-cleared receipts, ID and address proof, photographs and any scheme-specific papers. Full list: documents required for a YEIDA plot.
- Execute the lease deed at YEIDA. YEIDA prepares and executes the leasehold lease deed in your name on the prescribed format — this is the instrument that actually grants you the plot.
- Pay stamp duty & register. Pay the applicable UP stamp duty and registration fee and register the lease deed at the sub-registrar through IGRS-UP. See costs below.
- Apply for mutation. Get the plot mutated into your name in YEIDA’s records so you are the recorded leaseholder — lenders and the completion certificate rely on it.
- Take possession & the possession certificate. Take physical possession against the registered lease deed and obtain the possession certificate — the official start of your construction clock toward the 31 December 2026 deadline.
Whose move is each step?
Registry stretches feel worse than they are because it is rarely clear whose court the file sits in. The same six steps, reduced to one question:
| Step | Whose move | What actually moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Verify allotment & clear dues | Yours | Paying the dues; YEIDA confirms nil dues |
| Assemble documents | Yours | Your file, complete in one pass |
| Execute the lease deed | YEIDA’s | Deed prepared on the prescribed format once dues clear |
| Stamp duty & registration | Yours — with the sub-registrar | Duty paid, slot taken on IGRS-UP |
| Mutation | YEIDA’s — on your application | Records updated in your name |
| Possession & certificate | YEIDA’s | Site handover against the registered deed |
Allottees who work with our desk get this as a private written page for their own file — whose move it is, which documents exist, what has been paid — updated as each step completes. Buying a RERA apartment instead? The apartment-side track is in the EOE booking-process guide.
Primary allotment vs resale transfer
Most guides online describe the resale route. If you won the plot yourself, your path is simpler — here’s the difference.
| Stage | Primary allottee (you won it) | Resale buyer (buying from an allottee) |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Allotment letter from YEIDA | Agreement with the existing allottee |
| YEIDA step | Execute the original lease deed after dues | No-Due Certificate + Transfer Memorandum (on a transfer charge) |
| Registration | Register the lease deed (IGRS-UP) | Register a transfer deed (IGRS-UP) |
| After registration | Mutation + possession certificate | Mutation to the new owner |
Transfer charges, eligibility and formats vary by scheme and change over time — verify the current YEIDA transfer policy before committing.
Stamp duty, registration & timeline
In Uttar Pradesh, stamp duty is generally 7% (6% where a female is the buyer, within the prescribed limit) plus a 1% registration fee, calculated on the applicable value of the leasehold. Because a leasehold lease deed is computed differently from an outright sale, treat these as indicative and confirm the exact figure for your scheme on IGRS-UP (igrsup.gov.in) or with the sub-registrar. Allow a few weeks end-to-end across execution, registration and mutation, depending on document readiness and the sub-registrar’s load.
