Delhi government plans paperless property registrations within six months
The Delhi government aims to make property registrations fully online and paperless, with biometric authentication required only at the sub-registrar's office and documents delivered via DigiLocker. The plan, pending cabinet clearance and assembly passage, could materialise in five to six months; a prior government had proposed a similar online system that did not materialise.
Why It Matters
If implemented, property registrations could become online and paperless, reducing in-person visits and paperwork by centralizing processes and distributing documents via DigiLocker.
