In a move aimed at simplifying the property registration process, the Delhi government has launched the “Anywhere Registration” policy, allowing property buyers to register their assets at any of the 22 sub-registrar offices across Delhi, regardless of the property’s location. The policy, recently approved by Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Marlena, marks a significant shift from the previous rule that required buyers to complete property registrations only in the specific sub-registrar office covering the area of their purchase.
This new approach is expected to benefit homebuyers and property owners in Delhi by making the registration process more flexible, time-efficient, and transparent. Here’s a closer look at how the “Anywhere Registration” policy impacts property buyers.
Flexible Location Options for Registration
Earlier, property buyers were restricted to registering their property at the specific sub-registrar office assigned to the area where their property was located. This often led to unnecessary delays and made the process inconvenient for many. With the new policy in place, buyers now have the freedom to choose any sub-registrar office in Delhi, offering them greater convenience and flexibility.
This improvement is expected to make property registration much more accessible, especially for those who live far from the registrar’s office responsible for their property’s location.
Book Online Appointments for Faster Service
In addition to providing the freedom to register at any office, the policy introduces an online appointment booking system. By scheduling appointments in advance, property buyers can select a convenient time and date, further minimizing wait times at the office. This online booking feature not only streamlines the process but also reduces crowding, making visits to the sub-registrar office quicker and hassle-free.
Reduced Waiting Times and Enhanced Convenience
One of the common issues in Delhi’s property registration process was the lengthy waiting time at busy offices, especially during peak seasons. By allowing registration at any office, the new policy distributes workload more evenly across sub-registrar offices, reducing congestion and making the process faster for everyone. Property buyers can expect a smoother experience, with less time spent waiting in long queues.
Increased Transparency and Reduced Corruption
Another key benefit of the “Anywhere Registration” policy is the enhanced transparency it brings to the property registration process. With buyers now able to book appointments and choose their preferred office location, the policy reduces the need for middlemen, making it easier for buyers to complete the process on their own. This transparency also helps minimize the risk of corrupt practices, as buyers have more control over their registration.
A Boost to Honesty and Accountability in Property Registration
One of the primary goals of this new policy is to instill honesty and accountability in Delhi’s property registration system. By empowering property buyers to directly manage their own registration appointments, the policy reduces dependence on intermediaries, allowing for a smoother, more transparent process. This boost in transparency is expected to help maintain integrity in the property registration process.
With these changes, Delhi’s property registration process has taken a significant step towards modernization and user-friendliness.
