FATEHGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday launched another revolutionary initiative in form of “Easy Registry” to facilitate the people across the state.
The Chief Minister welcomed all the people who witnessed the beginning of this historic transformation aimed at completely eradicating corruption and ensuring transparent governance. He said that for decades, property registration has been considered a complicated and time-consuming process often requiring repeated visits to Sub-Registrar offices and facing delays and corruption. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that people had to visit the Sub-Registrar office corresponding to the location of their property, which added extra burden and inconvenience.
However, the Chief Minister said that now, with the “Easy Registry” system, property registration in Punjab has entered a new era of simplicity, speed, and transparency. He said that the “Easy Registry” system will eliminate unnecessary delays and hardships for citizens adding that this is the first time in India that any state has taken such a step toward simplifying property registration. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that under this initiative, any Sub-Registrar office within a district will be able to register properties located anywhere in that particular district.
The Chief Minister said that Citizens can now draft sale deeds online or through Sewa Kendras by paying a nominal fee of Rs 500 adding that as a part of the “Sarkar Tuhade Dwaar” scheme, people can call 1076 to avail this service. He said that Complete online submission of documents will be possible within just 48 hours adding that Tehsildar will no longer be able to raise unnecessary objections to property registrations. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that fixed time frame of 48 hours will be given for this adding that if any objection is raised, it will immediately be referred to the concerned Deputy Commissioner, who will verify whether the objection is genuine or not.
