Paperless registration mandatory for some family arrangement deeds from Nov. 2

As part of the second phase of Anywhere Registration under the STAR (Simplified and Transparent Administration of Registration) 3.0 system, the Tamil Nadu government has accorded administrative sanction for mandating paperless registration of certain documents pertaining to family arrangements from November 2.

A Government Order (G.O.) to this effect was issued by the Commercial Taxes and Registration Department on Wednesday. As per the G.O., settlement deeds, release deeds, partition deeds, and revocation of settlement deeds relating to family arrangements will be registered paperless to ensure citizen convenience and transparency, and to reduce the manual handling of documents.

Under the arrangement, the digitally executed deeds shall be sent to the Sub-Registrar through the online registration facility, along with the required supporting documents.

The Registration Department shall process those documents, and the parties shall thereafter appear before the Sub-Registrar concerned for identification, authentication, and completion of the prescribed registration formalities.
