What is SRO (Sub-Registrar Office)?
The office where deeds are registered and copied into the record.
Every area falls under a Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) - Kotdwar, Dehradun, Vikasnagar and so on. Sale deeds, gift deeds and leases must be presented here, stamp duty is checked, biometrics/photos taken, and the deed is copied into the jild volumes. The e-search portal lets you search an SRO's registered deeds online.
