Chandigarh, June 26
Punjab will be the first state to go digital in property registration on June 27, when Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh will launch the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS) in Amritsar through video-conferencing.
Barely eight months after its launch at Moga and Adampur in November last year, the Chief Minister’s pilot project has been implemented in 21 districts (162 sub-registrar offices).
Revenue Minister Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria said, “This people-friendly paperless transaction has been lapped up by the people as it increases transparency in the property registration process. It is also a clear indication of the people’s faith in the Chief Minister’s promise of providing hassle-free services to them.”
He further said the “Tatkal” system of appointment would also be launched soon.
Additional Chief Secretary Revenue-cum-FCR Vini Mahajan said so far 90,486 documents had been registered through the Cloud-based National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS).
She said the online property registration facility had been created in the NGDRS portal, which had been running successfully in 21 districts of SAS Nagar, Fatehgarh Sahib, Rupnagar, Faridkot, Pathankot, Kapurthala, Bathinda, Fazilka, Patiala, SBS Nagar, Muktsar, Ferozepur, Mansa, Barnala, Gurdaspur, Moga, Sangrur, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Tarn Taran and Ludhiana.
