Inconvenience and cramped space greet the citizens who throng the registry offices in the districts. All this would now probably be a thing of the past. Under the new system, the citizens will have the facility to seek an online appointment. They will be given a time slot in which they will have to come with the necessary documents to get their property registered. The registration documents would be delivered to the applicant at the same time. In case the application is rejected, the applicant would be informed about it the same day.
“The conventional system of registration will be overhauled. Under the new system, applicants will have to come to the registrar’s office with prior appointment and carry original documents pertaining to personal details and the property to be registered. Once the task is completed, the applicants can access the website for a printout of the receipt at home displaying a bar code. This will be useful for future communication,” said Dilip Jawalkar, Additional Secretary and IG Stamps and registration.
The facility will also to be available for those applicants who come without a prior time slot and visit the sub-registrar offices without prior appointment. For registration of properties, they will have to bring their original documents and details pertaining to property purchased.
Aimed at greater transparency and speedy disposal of files, the system is already functioning in Gujarat and the passport seva kendras.
The scheme is expected to be launched by Uttarakhand Finance Minister Indira Hriyadesh in Haldwani in the coming few days.
“Once we launch the process, all the prospective buyers and sellers will be saved from standing in queue, waiting for their turn,” said Jawalkar.
As quite a few documents are needed at the time of property registration, the government also plans to list the documents needed to be brought alongwith by the applicants.
