The Inspectorate General of Registration and Stamps department is all set to initiate the digital locker system for e-registration where an individual will be able to save the agreement copy of the property, Index II as well as the receipt in a soft format on the centre’s digital locker from the coming year.
The digital locker system will make it easier for people to store, retrieve and share these documents with other agencies safely. Officials from the IGR department said that the department will be the first to link e-registration with the digital locker.
The Aadhaar-linked DigiLocker is a part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious Digital India scheme, which will enable people to safe-keep their documents such as those related to address, identity, education and property in a paperless format in the repository’s free storage space. The system will enable people and agencies to push these documents into the locker and share them electronically.
IGR officials say that they are closely working with the National Informatics Centre and they would probably have the system rolled out in the coming year. The digilocker system enables department transfer of documents that will save a lot of time and paper work, stated the officials.
The officials said that once the registration is completed using the UIDAI card, they will automatically send the papers to the digital locker and eventually they will be able to retrieve them. “This will reduce the dependence on physical documentation,’’state officials. Apart from leave and license documents, people can also register first sale of flats by developers and MHADA allotment letters.
The department of registration and stamps is gradually making it mandatory for executors of leave and license documents to go in for e-registration at empanelled service providers by doing away with manual registration at its offices. Officials said the Aadhaar-based e-registration will help people file documents at their convenience. However, the only issue being since Aadhaar is not mandatory, they have to wait for the Aadhaar link up to increase.
