The Registration Department has instructed Sub-Registrars not to harass registrants by delaying processes for want of trivial details.
Amidst complaints of registration of documents being delayed or transferred to other offices without any information or update to registrants, the Inspector-General (IG) of Registration sent out an advisory to registering authorities to sort out minor issues on the spot instead of deferring the transaction.
Making a specific reference to an instance where the Sale Certificate of a bank was transferred to some other Sub-Registrar office (SRO) without proper intimation and update on follow-up action, which drew resentment and strong condemnation of the Madras High Court, the IG of Registration directed the officials to ensure transparency in administration by informing registrations of the status of their application and reasons for delay, if any.
