Delhi may soon become the first state to start an online facility for property registration, rent agreement and power of attorney.
The Revenue Department of the government has started a trial run of the software with the project expected to be launched within two or three months.
According to the department, at present, there is no online property registration facility in India.
After the launch of project, people won’t need to go to a sub—registrar’s office for registering their property and rent agreement. “We are developing a software through which people can register their properties online by visiting the department’s website. Rent agreement, power of attorney and other such documentation work will also come under this project,” said Divisional Commissioner Ashwani Kumar. Mr. Kumar said that a person buying property can fill up a form to be made available on the department’s website and submit all required details, including details of the seller.
“Under the project, buyers will be provided with the facility of paying the registration fee online. They can also pay stamp duty from home or office. After depositing the form, buyers can print out the sale deed for future record,” Kumar also said. According to the department, existing system under which buyers and sellers have to physically visit registrar office, pay stamp duty and physically submit details will also continue. — PTI
