100 sub-registrar offices to discontinue working on Saturdays in T.N.
The Tamil Nadu government has announced that 100 sub-registrar offices will stop operating on Saturdays. This move is part of a broader effort to transition toward a 'faceless' digital document registration system.
Why it matters
The shift reflects the ongoing digitization of government services in India, aiming to increase efficiency and reduce the need for physical office visits.
As many as 100 sub-registrar offices in Tamil Nadu, which are presently functioning on Saturdays, will remain shut and working on Saturdays will be discontinued, the Commercial Taxes and Registration department has announced.
State Minister for Commercial Taxes and Registration, D. Lokesh Tamilselvan had noted in the State Assembly during the discussion on Demands for grants for 2026-27 that the 100 sub-registrar offices will be shut on Saturdays as the State government seeks to expand “faceless document registration”.
