A registration of sale deeds : New Delhi to adopt Gurgaon design

CHANDIGARH : Delhi will emulate the system of same day delivery of documents after registering sale deeds of immoveable property adopted in Gurgaon. Deputy Commissioner of South- West Delhi Vikas Anand on his visit to Gurgaon on friday afternoon, expressed his keeness of adopting the system in his office as well.
Anand was in Gurgaon to study the system adopted by Gurgaon district administration for registering the sale deeds of immoveable properties and handing over the document to the purchaser on the same day.Mr Anand was quite impressed to see this system and he desired to have a round of the Tehsil office alongwith the Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner P C Meena to gather first hand knowledge of the system. He said that though Delhi also has good registration system in place but whatever good things they could find from elsewhere like Gurgaon can also be incorporated or replicated there. The main aim is to minimize the hardship people faced in getting their day to day works done or getting a document prepared. He was of the view that this system facilitated the people besides maintaining transparency and minimizing the chances of fraud.
Anand said that he had found that in Gurgaon, thumb impressions of seller and buyer of the property were taken through a biometric machine besides printing the photograph of the Sub Registrar (Tehsildar) on the back side of the front page of the document. In Delhi, he said, like here photos of buyers, sellers and witnesses are printed but not of the Tehsildar signing the document. Similarly, on the affidavits also, here, the photo of the applicant is printed on the front side and nobody can get an affidavit prepared in someone other's name.
He saw that how the Deputy Commissioner could monitor the activities going on in the Tehsil office, SDM office and other offices coming under DC office from his office chamber. Mr Meena has got installed CCTV cameras in all the public dealing offices and their Central Unit, that is, the LCD is fitted in DC's chamber on which he can see what is going on where. A LCD has also been installed in the Lobby of the mini secretariat from where even the general public can have a look of those offices. Mr Anand was impressed by this monitoring system and showed his inclination to adopt the same.
Meena apprised his visiting couterpart from New Delhi that all types of Certificates like Caste Certificate, Resident Certificate, Income Certificate, Birth and Death Certificate etc were computerized here in Gurgaon. Anand was told that the staff working in Sub Registrar office was hired under out sourcing policy of the state government, to which he said that they were also going to outsource these posts. He was impressed to know that the state government has made rules to provide certain services to the general public in time bound manner for which time frame has been fixed and if this is not done, the concerned officer is held accountable.
