Delhi to streamline land registration process; NOC, LSR to be required only in specific cases: CM
Delhi Chief Minister (CM) Rekha Gupta, in a bid to streamline the land registration process in the national capital, has announced that No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and Land Status Reports (LSRs) will no longer be required for most land registration cases. The move is aimed at enhancing ease of living and ease of doing business, the CM said, adding that people often face unnecessary hurdles and delays at the offices of the patwari, tehsildar, SDM and DM in cases related to land and revenue — even when such documentation is not legally required. Now, under the new system, NOCs and LSRs will be required only in specific cases governed by legal provisions — Section 8 of the Delhi Lands (Restrictions on Transfer) Act, 1972, and Section 30 of the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, 1948. In all other instances, permissions from the Revenue department will no longer be necessary. Sub-registrars will register documents strictly in accordance with the Indian Registration Act, 1908, and only on legally prescribed grounds, said officials. Assuring transparency and security in the implementation of this reform, CM Gupta also said: 'A 'Buyer Beware' clause will be enforced, placing the responsibility of verification of land status and ownership on buyers, independently. Land-related information will be regularly updated and made available on official government portals.' To prevent misuse and ensure safeguards against fraud, she said, the government will introduce a range of protective measures so that the lands falling under Gram Sabha, forest areas, acquisition zones or restricted categories remain protected. She also warned of stringent legal action if fraudulent transactions are detected. Additionally, monitoring systems will be strengthened through the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and an integrated Patwari network, Gupta said. 'This reform marks a decisive step towards a transparent, efficient and citizen-friendly land registration regime in Delhi. By eliminating unnecessary paperwork and bureaucratic red tape, we are making governance more accessible and accountable. This will offer significant relief to the public and enhance trust in the administration,' the CM added.
