Deed portal defunct for week, residents suffer

Fatehgarh Sahib, June 18

Residents who want to register their sale and other deeds are facing trouble as the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS) is not working for the past week in all tehsils and sub-tehsils of the district.

People are running from pillar to post to get their documents registered as they come every morning and return empty-handed after waiting for the entire day.

JS Gill, president of the Property Dealers’ Association, said it was unfortunate that the government could not make the registration system operational for the past week. He said all types of work had come to a standstill. This was not only causing harassment to people but also causing great financial loss to the state exchequer as stamp duty and other registration charges were not being deposited in the treasury.

Gurinder Singh, Tehsildar, Fatehgarh Sahib, said the government had taken note of the issue and was working to rectify it.
