CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government has made sweeping changes in the process of registration of property/land sale deeds to plug the loopholes misused in the alleged registries scam, which occurred during the lockdown and covers over 30,000 sale deeds executed without the mandatory no-objection certificates (NoCs).

These land sale deeds were executed without taking NoCs from the town and country planning and urban local bodies departments.

Chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar had last week placed six officials of revenue department, a tehsildar and five naib tehsildars, posted in Gurgaon district under suspension for links to the alleged scam.

The state’s revenue department has now decided to delete the words ‘agriculture class’ and ‘area limit’ in the new registration system for land within control area or

within the limits of urban local bodies. Also, the urban local bodies will allot UID numbers to all properties within their jurisdiction and the seller shall have to clear all liabilities of civic bodies before transfer of plot or property.

Property sale deed registration: DC will be held responsible for any loophole

Most importantly, the registration of sale deeds would be subject to final approval by the deputy commissioners (DCs), who will be held responsible for any misuse or loopholes. The DCs will approve the sale deeds after verifying the process as well the NOCs.
