NEW DELHI: In a major revamp of existing property registration system, Delhi government will put in place a transparent mechanism by end of the year under which people will be able to access hassle-free services in all 13 sub-registrar offices without any jurisdictional issue.

The aim of the project — the first of its kind — is to offer people a tout-free and seamless property registration experience through a highly secured online platform, which will replace the existing six-decade-old system.

Under the new mechanism people from any part of the city will be able to get their properties registered , in any of the 13 sub-registrar offices, and will also be able to check the genuineness of the properties as well as the owne -rship details as well as past transactions.

Admitting that there was corruption in the existing system, urban development and revenue minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said, "There will be no room for touts in the new system.As per the existing system, people can get their properties registered based on jurisdiction of the sub-registrar office.

He further said all the sub-registrar offices will be linked through an online portal. The online portal will have a fee calculator and details about stamp duties and other documents required for property registration.
