Major reforms proposed to make registration bill 2025 citizen-friendly and digitally secure

1 2 3 Pune: From ensuring digital access in rural areas to establishing a dedicated dispute redressal authority, state property registration officials on Friday proposed key reforms to strengthen the Draft Registration Bill 2025. The suggestions, made during a day-long workshop held in Pune by the department of registration and stamps, aim to make the proposed legislation more citizen-friendly, transparent, and aligned with the Digital India vision, officials said. Central govt sought feedback from all states. The recommendations included setting up offline registration centres and rolling out digital literacy initiatives in remote regions to promote digital inclusion. A major focus was also placed on data privacy, with calls for strict rules around data encryption, third-party sharing, and compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Other important proposals involved bringing greater transparency in the de-registration process by making notices mandatory and establishing an independent Registration Dispute Resolution Authority to handle registration-related complaints in a timely manner. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Officers also underlined the need for strong inter-departmental coordination and emphasised clarity in administrative procedures to match the pace of digital reforms such as Aadhaar-based verification and e-records.

Many of the suggestions were based on field-level experience and aimed at making the Act more functional and responsive to public needs.

The department is set to draw the suggestions from all sub-divisional officers and staff to make this draft more comprehensive. The department is expected to conduct another round of stakeholder discussions before the draft is finalised to be sent to Centre. The Draft Registration Bill 2025, intended to modernise the Registration Act, 1908, is focused on simplifying registration processes through measures such as digital registration, Aadhaar-based ID checks, electronic record keeping, and expanding the list of documents that require compulsory registration. The workshop was attended by all senior officials from the state registration department. State govt is expected to hold additional review meetings before moving ahead with final legislative procedures. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
