Tamil Nadu Makes Online Registration Mandatory for First Property Sales
The government of Tamil Nadu has made a new rule about buying land and homes.
Now, when someone buys a plot or a flat for the first time, the paperwork must be done online.
People no longer have to visit a government registration office in person.
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay started this new system at a building called the Secretariat in Chennai.
It is part of a bigger plan to update how the Registration Department works.
Buyers and sellers must make an account on a website called TNREGINET.
They also have to show an ID called Aadhaar and prove who they are with a fingerprint or eye scan.
Government officers must check the documents within 24 hours.
The final papers get special signatures, stamps, and codes so nobody can fake them.
Tamil Nadu made online, presence-less registration mandatory for the first sale of plots and flats.
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay launched the initiative at the Secretariat in Chennai.
The move is the first phase of the Registration Department's transition to the STAR 3.0 ecosystem.
Applicants must create credentials on the TNREGINET portal, upload Aadhaar details, and complete biometric authentication.
Registering officers must process applications within 24 hours; documents carry a digital signature, five-colour endorsement, and QR code to prevent forgery.
