In a move to improve public convenience and reduce waiting times for property registration, Haryana Government on Friday announced an expansion of online e-appointment services across all tehsils and sub-tehsils in the state. This expansion will see the number of available e-appointments increase from 100 to 200, with Tatkal e-appointments rising from 10 to 50, except in Gurugram.
An official spokesperson said that in Gurugram district, online e-appointments have been further expanded from 100 to 300, while Tatkal e-appointments have been extended from 10 to 60. This decision takes into account the significant volume of property registration work, the role of income, and the paramount interest of the public. The objective is to alleviate the challenges faced by those seeking to execute property transfer documents, ensuring a smoother and more efficient process, he added.
According to the spokesperson, to ensure the seamless implementation of this decision, all Deputy Commissioners in the state have been directed to communicate this directive to all Sub-Registrars and Joint Sub-Registrars. In addition, information regarding the enhanced e-appointment services will be prominently displayed on notice boards within the Tehsil compounds.
In another development aimed at streamlining property registration processes, Haryana Government has granted authority to Sub-Divisional Officers (Civil) and District Revenue Officers (DRO) to undertake property registration work. Effective immediately, the SDO (Civil) and DRO will be empowered to exercise the functions and responsibilities of sub-registrars and joint sub-registrars. The existing serial numbers of property deeds, presently available in the Tehsil offices of district headquarters, will now be managed and maintained by the SDO (Civil) of the respective district headquarters and the DRO.
