Registration of non-agri properties gathering momentum

Dept reports ₹126 cr revenue in five days

The Registration and Stamps department continues to register impressive revenues since the process has been resumed from May 31 after the operations were completely halted for about 20 days. The department has reported revenue collection of ₹126.25 crore till Monday through registration of non-agricultural lands since the beginning afresh of the process from May 31. In the process, the department had registered 9,554 documents during the five working days. The revenue on Monday was in excess of ₹14 crore and the department is hopeful that the process will pick up once the restrictions are eased further. “Many documents are registered today for which payments are made in the last 4 days,” a senior official told The Hindu even as the department was in the process of reconciling the State-wide number of documents registered and the revenue generated on Tuesday.
