New rules for property registry have been implemented in Madhya Pradesh from today, making the process of property registration completely digital. With the new software, Sampada 2.0, launched by the Chief Minister, there will no longer be a need to bring witnesses for property registration.
Along with this, the buyer and seller will now be identified through e-KYC, so that the registration process can be completed from home. Earlier it was successfully run as a pilot project in Guna, Harda and Dindori districts, and now it has been implemented in the entire state.
Sampada 2.0: Expansion of digital registry process
The state government of Madhya Pradesh has launched Sampada 2.0 software to make property registration simple and transparent. Through this software, tasks like biometric identification, digital document formatting and mapping of property for registry will be completed automatically. Under this, the need to appear in the sub-registrar office has been eliminated. The identity of both the buyer and the seller will be verified online through e-KYC.
Khandwa’s sub-registrar, Brajkishore Chauhan, said that this new software will benefit the general public, especially the elderly and those who found it difficult to come to the registration office again and again. Along with this, fraudulent activities in the registry process will also be stopped, because through e-KYC, the identification of witnesses will also be completely correct and digital.
Biometric and digital identity: Fraud will be stopped.
The biggest feature of this new software is that biometric identification has been included in the e-KYC process. Due to this, the need for witnesses during registration has been eliminated, and all documents are being formatted digitally in a secure and authentic manner. This will also eliminate the possibility of fraud. Earlier, problems like server down or delay in paperwork of documents were faced, now with the arrival of this software, all these processes will become easier.
The public will get direct benefit
The people of Madhya Pradesh will get direct benefit from the new digital registry system. The time taken in registry work will be reduced and people will not have to visit offices again and again. Along with this, these new rules implemented in all 55 districts will bring transparency and simplicity in the process.
This step of the state government is an important initiative towards Digital India, which will save the time and labour of the people and also control the fraud in property registration.
