Delhi's Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has announced that all properties in the city will be registered with the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS) by January 2025. Already implemented in all 22 sub-registrar offices, the NGDRS has registered 231,000 properties, aiming to simplify registration, enhance transparency, and reduce fraud. This digitised system allows online management of registration tasks, quick document retrieval, and integration with various municipal systems, including the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), streamlining the property registration process and improving service efficiency.
The property registration process in Delhi is set for a major overhaul, as Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has announced plans to register all properties in the city with the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS) by January 2025. This move aims to simplify the registration process, enhance transparency, and reduce instances of fraud and corruption. Advertisement
The NGDRS has already been implemented at all 22 sub-registrar offices in the capital. Officials report that approximately 231,000 properties have successfully registered under the new system. The streamlined process is expected to allow property buyers to verify ownership more easily, thereby minimising the risk of fraudulent transactions. By integrating information from various municipal departments, including the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the government plans to create a unified and accessible property database.
One of the significant advancements introduced by the NGDRS is the digitization of registration services. The system operates as an online portal where users can manage various aspects of property registration, from fee calculations to appointment booking. This means that potential property buyers will no longer need to visit sub-registrar offices multiple times as they can complete many tasks online. The online platform also allows users to estimate stamp duties and registration fees, aligning with modern practices that prioritise convenience.
Additionally, the NGDRS will house all registered documents on a central server. This eliminates the need for lengthy document searches at physical offices, reducing processing time for both officials and citizens. Property seekers can retrieve documents quickly using identifiers such as deed numbers or Property Identification Numbers (PAN). The improved efficiency is expected to streamline the entire registration process significantly.
In a recent review meeting, the Lieutenant Governor emphasised the need to integrate the NGDRS with various municipal systems. By linking the DDA's housing allotment and lease deeds with the NGDRS, the government aims to further bolster the security of property transactions and cut down on the time needed for document verification. This is a crucial step as it will enable instant registration at sub-registrar offices, offering a more reliable service to Delhi residents.
The MCD has also been directed to incorporate Unique Property Identification Codes (UPIC) into the NGDRS framework. This integration will help consolidate information related to property ownership across municipal and registration databases, facilitating better management and understanding of property information in the city. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that all property tax records and related utility payment data are interconnected, enabling citizens to access comprehensive information regarding their properties in one database.
While the government aims for full integration by January 2025, immediate benefits will be seen as the new registration system allows online access to certified copies of property registrations. This eliminates the need for citizens to physically visit sub-registrar offices to obtain these documents, a common source of frustration.
