The key decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Raghubar Das and was part of 25 agenda that were discussed and approved at the meeting. The decision will go a long way in solving issues pertaining to family assets disputes in State.
Principal Secretary, Cabinet Coordination, Ajay Kumar Singh said, “The Cabinet has given nod to the important decision and people will have to pay just Rs 100 to get their property registered after division of family assets. This will simplify the sale of property; make it transparent and hassle free.” Singh added that of the Rs 100 to be charged, registration and stamp duty will be Rs 50 each and it will be applicable uniformly irrespective of the property size and value.
Sources said that the Cabinet decision will help in curbing crime cases as property dispute is one of the major causes of criminal incidents in State.

Explaining the benefits of the scheme, Singh said, “Earlier if the person is donating land for broadening of road then the person who is donating land has to bear the expenses for registration of land. The amount used to go in State government exchequer now the person can donate the land at a token rate of Rs 10.”
