As per the directives of CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal, the Revenue Department of Delhi has decided to introduce the ‘Anywhere Registration’ policy. According to this policy, if people want to register their property, they can go to any Sub-Registrar Office in Delhi. Now, individuals will not be restricted to a specific Sub-Registrar Office for property registration. To buy or sell property in Delhi, people need to visit the Sub-Registrar Office. Whether it’s a property transaction or registering the property through other means, one has to go to the Sub-Registrar Office.
Many complaints about the Sub-Registrar Office often reach CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal. One complaint is that in many Sub-Registrar Offices, there are long queues and it takes a long time to book an appointment. On the other hand, some Sub-Registrar Offices do not have excessive crowds. Another complaint that often comes in is of prevalent corruption in many Sub-Registrar Offices. There are middlemen outside the offices who demand money, and people are forced to pay these middlemen to get their registry work done in the same office. To address these issues, the Revenue Department has initiated this new policy.
All Sub-Registrars in Delhi will now function as Joint Sub-Registrars, and their jurisdiction will cover the entire Delhi. So, anyone residing in Delhi can make an online appointment for property registration at any of the 22 Sub-Registrar Offices in Delhi.
Benefits of ‘Anywhere Registration’ Policy-
-> People can register their property in any Sub-Registrar Office in Delhi according to their convenience.
-> Transparency will increase – If people feel that some Sub-Registrar Offices demand bribes, they won’t have to go to those offices.
-> Corruption prevention – People will choose Sub-Registrar Offices where work is done honestly and easily. This opportunity to evaluate our Sub-Registrars will reveal which offices operate with integrity and which ones may not be functioning properly.
For the benefit, convenience, and transparency of the people of Delhi, the Kejriwal government is implementing the ‘Anywhere’ registration policy. The Chief Minister has approved this scheme, and the file has been sent to the Lieutenant Governor for notification.
