The Delhi government has introduced a new “Anywhere Registration” policy, allowing property owners to register at any of the 22 sub-registrar offices across the city, regardless of the property’s jurisdiction. Announced by the chief minister’s office, this policy aims to simplify registration, making the process more accessible for residents. By offering flexibility, the Delhi government intends to streamline property transactions citywide.
What is Delhi’s “anywhere registration” policy?
Previously, Delhi residents had to register property transactions at a specific sub-registrar office based on the property’s location. This requirement often led to overcrowded offices in high-demand areas, while others remained underutilized. With the new “Anywhere Registration” policy, these restrictions are now removed. Property buyers and sellers can choose any sub-registrar office in Delhi, promoting a more efficient and convenient process.
Key benefits of the new registration policy
This policy offers several benefits to property owners:
- Greater flexibility: Residents can now make appointments at any of the 22 sub-registrar offices, bypassing location-specific restrictions.
- Reduced waiting time: By distributing the workload among all offices, this policy will help reduce congestion and improve appointment availability.
- Enhanced transparency and reduced corruption: As officials noted, this policy allows the government to track application volumes at each office, addressing issues quickly and minimizing the need for intermediaries.
Transforming Delhi’s property registration
With over 350,000 to 400,000 property-related documents processed each year, the “Anywhere Registration” policy will make a substantial difference citywide. Residents can now register various documents, including sale deeds, leases, power of attorneys, and conveyance deeds, without jurisdictional constraints. This flexibility makes the registration process easier, particularly for those previously burdened by long wait times or pressure from intermediaries.
How to use the new registration policy
To use this policy, residents can make an online appointment at any sub-registrar office, which avoids traditional location restrictions. With the policy’s focus on transparency, property registration becomes simpler for buyers and sellers, making Delhi a unified district for registration.
Officials emphasize that this change will also help them track and address areas needing improvement. Through the “Anywhere Registration” policy, Delhi aims to create a more user-friendly, transparent experience for property owners across the city.
