CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government on Monday resumed registration of properties and farmlands in the rural areas and commenced the process for e-appointment for registration of urban properties.

Sources said the revenue officials are reviewing the process for registration in urban areas before actually starting to register properties.

Notably, on July 22, property registration work in the state, whether rural or urban, had been halted for software upgradation.

Haryana deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala, who also holds the charge of revenue department, said the details of registries done on Monday in the rural area are being compiled, while the software for the urban areas is under review and e-appointments have started.

Amidst allegations of scam in property registration without obtaining no-objection certificates from either urban local bodies (ULBs) or the town and country planning (TCP) department, the state government had stopped registering all properties. Seven revenue officials from Gurgaon have been placed under suspension, while several officials of both ULBs and TCP department are under the scanner in four districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat and Jhajjar.
