Bhubaneswar: Online slot booking mandatory has been made mandatory for land registration in Odisha.
Inspector General of Registration Jyotiprakash Das has written to all officials concerned in this regard with a gazette notification attached to it.
According to the notification, a person will give a certain date on which he/she has to reach Tehsil and Sub-Registrar office after the online slot booking. The sale and purchase agreement of lands will be made during that period.
“If no prior appointment through online booking of slot has been taken, and the citizen has applied in writing with justification for not being able to do so, to the Registering Officer, for acceptance of the Document for Registration on demand, then on acceptance of the reasons by the Registering Officer and subject to availability of any time slot on that day be termed as ‘Tatkal’,” the notification said.
Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Pramila Mallick said that this initiative is first-of-its-kind in India. “This will save people the trouble of running to different offices for the land registration unnecessarily,” she added.
