She said the online property registration facility had been created in the NGDRS portal, which had been running successfully in 21 districts of the state.
The consumers can reach the department’s website www.revenue.punjab.gov.in for online registration. The switch-over from manual to online property registration has been smooth, consumer confidence has increased and the project is making a clear headway, she added.
Mahajan said the Online Property Registration System is very simple and citizen friendly, which provides an online interface to the citizens to enter data related to registration and uploading of property documents 24X7, enables automatic calculation of stamp duty, registration fees and other fees based on collector rates.
The citizens receive SMS alerts at data submission, appointment and completion of registration, eliminating the scope of fraud.
Further, the online appointment system gives flexibility to the citizens to choose their date of appointment for the registration. Template documents are placed online to reduce dependency on deed writers.
