TN to roll out ‘presenceless' system in property regn
Chennai: Buying an apartment or plot in Tamil Nadu may soon become a presenceless process, with the state registration department preparing a system where neither buyers nor developers will need to visit sub-registrar offices (SROs) for first-sale registrations. In the first phase, the facility will be optional and gradually made mandatory. Officials said the move is aimed at easing congestion at SROs, many of which function from cramped offices with little space or parking for visitors. Every year, about 36 lakh documents are registered in Tamil Nadu, of which 5.5 lakh are Memoranda of Deposit of Title Deed (MOD) and 3.5 lakh are receipt deeds. On average, 26,000 apartments are registered every month, with Chennai topping the list. The state has 582 SROs. Two years ago, presenceless registration was introduced for MODs, receipt deeds, and residential lease deeds (within five years), but it was not mandatory. Currently, only about 30,000 MODs and receipt deeds are done online. Under the proposed system, once the seller and developer complete the online registration, the respective SRO will access the application, verify the details, and clear the documents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

We are sure that this will cut down corruption, delays and save time. However, it won't be mandatory now," said a senior official from the registration department. "We have to integrate Aadhaar-based authentication, including iris and fingerprint verification, into the process. The developers will have to purchase fingerprint and eyeball scanners alone. These aspects are being looked into and discussed," the official added. Teams from Tamil Nadu have studied similar systems in Madhya Pradesh and other states. The department has also held meetings with banks to explore whether MODs and receipt deeds can be mandatorily brought under the presenceless framework. "Only 30,000 MOD and receipt deeds are registered through online mode now," the official said. The proposal, however, has triggered concerns over safety. With multiple complaints of fraudulent registrations and property disputes already pending across the state, many fear that removing physical presence could open the door to manipulation and forgery. "This move will make the entire process faster and far more convenient for buyers. For developers too, it reduces the hassle of coordinating multiple visits to sub-registrar offices. What we need is a robust system with strong safeguards so that trust is maintained," said S Ramprabhu, chairman of the DTCP committee at the Builders Association of India.

Navi Mumbai's civic body becomes first in country to provide property identity cards to citizens
Navi Mumbai: Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner Kailas Shinde launched the 'Property Identity Card' initiative, making Navi Mumbai the first municipal corporation in the country to provide such cards to property holders. According to NMMC, the Property Identity Card will benefit over 3.5 lakh property owners in the city, allowing them to access information such as property number, address, area, and tax details in one place, similar to a PAN card. Property identification cards were distributed to five property owners by Shinde at a function recently. The card enables property owners to view property tax arrears and advance tax amounts, and allows them to make payments directly at civic utility centres by presenting the card. Additionally, online tax payment is facilitated by scanning the QR code on the Property Identity Card, which can also serve as an official property identity, similar to an Aadhaar card, said Shinde. This initiative will streamline property sale and transfer processes, saving property owners time, effort, and expense in contacting the Property Tax Department, said an official. For the convenience of the tech-savvy citizens of Navi Mumbai, which is also known as the city of the educated lot, Shinde is focusing on maximum digitalisation and in that regard, this important property identity card initiative will increase transparency and efficiency in the property tax department.

EPFO Aadhaar UAN linking - What are the latest changes? All you need to know
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced new rules to make it more convenient for its users to link Aadhaar with their Universal Account Number (UAN) and make changes to their personal details. The fresh rules are aimed at speeding up access to provident fund services, reduce paperwork, and ensure timely payouts, especially in sensitive cases like those involving minors, without unnecessary procedural hurdles. Simplified process: If your name, gender and date of birth in both Aadhaar and UAN records match, you can now directly approach your employer. Employer portal: The employer can then complete the Aadhaar seeding through the KYC function on the employer portal. No additional approval: This process no longer requires additional approval from EPFO, speeding up what was previously time consuming as even straightforward matches used to get delayed due to multiple verification layers. The Joint Declaration (JD) mechanism has also been streamlined for cases where the Aadhaar and UAN details do not match, or where a wrong Aadhaar has been linked. Online Rectification: Employers can now submit online JD requests to correct details like name, gender or date of birth. This also applies to cases where a wrong Aadhaar number was linked by mistake. Physical submission: If a company is closed or an employer is unavailable, a member can submit a physical JD form. This form, attested by authorized officials, can be submitted at the Public Relations Officer (PRO) counter, who will then upload it for processing post verification. However, it's important to note that changes to Aadhaar details that have already been verified will not be cleared. No guardianship certificate required: In a major relief for minor beneficiaries, the EPFO no longer requires guardianship certificates for claim settlements to a deceased member's minor children. Direct bank credit: Benefits, including both lump sum settlements and pension amounts, can be directly credited to the child's bank account. PRO assistance: In order to streamline this process, EPFO officials are instructed to help claimants open accounts for minors to ensure timely and hassle-free payouts. An user can easily link their Aadhaar to UAN using a government set up platform, called UMANG mobile app. In order to do so, follow these steps: Access the UMANG app and log in using your MPIN or OTP. Navigate to the "Services" tab and select "EPFO" option. Under the EPFO option, choose "e-KYC services". Select the "Aadhaar Seeding" option. Enter your UAN and then enter the OTP that is sent to the registered mobile number. Enter your Aadhaar details and verify OTP sent to Aadhaar-linked mobile number and email. Once the verification process is over and successful, your Aadhaar will be linked to UAN. While the initial linking can be done within minutes, the actual verification and approval by the authorities can take up to 15 days. Typically, it takes around 3-5 days for the process to complete.
