TN registers one lakh property documents online

Tamil Nadu has registered more than 100,000 property documents in the 44 days from August 17 to September 30, under the state’s “Presenceless Registration” system, which allows documents to be submitted online around the clock without a physical visit to a registration office.

The system was made mandatory on August 17 for the first sale of plots and flats in apartment projects. From September 15, it was extended to title-deed deposits and receipt deeds involving banks and financial institutions.

The registration department in a release stated it would gradually extend presenceless registration to other categories of documents, with changes to the software being made on the basis of feedback from citizens, developers, banks and other users
