From today, the Punjab government has introduced the long-awaited "Easy Registration" system in Jalandhar, making property registration easy, quick, and transparent. The new system is completely digital, with an objective to reduce delays, root out corruption, and provide fairness to all citizens.
The new system has two hassle-free options for applicants:
Applicants need to give their WhatsApp number to get updates in real time at each level. Once the document is approved, the link to schedule an appointment at the Sub-Registrar office is sent.
Everything except the biometric/photo verification at the end can be done online. The applicant visits the Sub-Registrar office once, saving them/her multiple visits and excuses for procrastination.
Government-certified service providers (retired Patwaris, attorneys) will help applicants for a set fee of ₹500 (along with ₹50 towards printing), with no chances of overcharging or scope for bribery.
All charges, such as stamp duty and registration fees, are paid online via a consolidated payment gateway—no need to go to banks or deal with cash.
Registration can now be completed in any Sub-Registrar office within the district, not only at the location of the property, bringing in greater flexibility and convenience.
This new system is empowering the citizens, minimizing the reliance on intermediaries, and seeking to eradicate corruption by making the registration of property hassle-free in Jalandhar.
