Fatehgarh Sahib, December 2:

The Punjab government has made the decision to organize a three-day Awareness Fair in order to provide retirees and family pensioners who failed to complete their E-KYC with another chance.

Sharing this information, District Treasury Officer Ashok Kumar remarked that the Awareness Fair held in November received an amazing response from the beneficiaries.

Appealing to the pensioners, the District Treasury Officer said that just as it is essential to provide the Life Certificate in banks, registration on this portal will enable provisions for monthly pension accounting, data grievance redressal, succession module, etc. He emphasized that even pensioners who have already given their Life Certificates to the banks but have not yet registered on the Pension Seva Portal must do so.

SAYS MOVE AIMED AT ENSURING SIMPLICITY, SPEED AND TRANSPARENCY IN REGISTRATION OF LAND

ANOTHER UNIQUE INITIATIVE AIMED AT REVENUE REFORMS

Fatehgarh Sahib, November 27-

Bhagwant Singh Mann, the chief minister of Punjab, introduced “Easy Registry,” another groundbreaking program, on Thursday to help people throughout the state.

The Chief Minister greeted everyone who had witnessed the start of this momentous shift that will ensure honest governance and totally eradicate corruption. According to him, property registration has been viewed for many years as a difficult and drawn-out procedure that frequently necessitates frequent trips to Sub-Registrar offices, as well as dealing with delays and corruption. According to Bhagwant Singh Mann, there was an additional load and inconvenience because people had to go to the Sub-Registrar office that corresponded to the location of their property.

But according to the Chief Minister, property registration in Punjab has entered a new era of ease, speed, and openness thanks to the “Easy Registry” system. He added that this is the first time any state in India has made such a step toward streamlining property registration and that the “Easy Registry” method will remove needless delays and inconveniences for citizens. According to Bhagwant Singh Mann, this plan will allow any Sub-Registrar office in a district to register assets anywhere in that district.

According to the Chief Minister, citizens can now prepare sale deeds online or through Sewa Kendras for a little cost of Rs 500. They can also call 1076 to make use of this service as part of the “Sarkar Tuhade Dwaar” plan. He added that the Tehsildar will no longer be able to submit pointless objections to property registrations and that complete online submission of paperwork will be achievable in just 48 hours. According to Bhagwant Singh Mann, there will be a set 48-hour period for this, and any objections will be promptly sent to the relevant Deputy Commissioner, who will determine whether or not the objection is legitimate.

The Chief Minister added that citizens will receive updates via WhatsApp regarding each step of the registration procedure and that they can file a complaint straight through WhatsApp if someone demands a bribe. According to Bhagwant Singh Mann, he is quite proud to announce that Deputy Commissioners will now be in charge of making sure that each property registration is finished without a hitch. He stated that a help desk and a cozy waiting space had been added to the Sub-Registrar Office in Mohali for this reason.

According to the Chief Minister, the Sub-Registrar office that had jurisdiction over the property was the only place where previous registration could be completed. People used to be unaware of the status of their registration or any objections filed, he added, but now WhatsApp alerts would keep them updated at every step, from document submission and approval to payment, objections, and final paper preparation. According to Bhagwant Singh Mann, a 48-hour window has been set aside for voicing objections or confirming papers. He added that this technique will also lower the exorbitant fees related to deed registration.

With the assistance of a Sewa Kendra or Sewa helper, anyone can draft their own registration documents using the “Draft My Deed” function, according to the Chief Minister. According to him, citizens won’t have to visit banks again because there won’t be a requirement to present separate transaction evidence. People will no longer have to repeatedly visit government offices to pick up their registration documents, according to Bhagwant Singh Mann.

According to the Chief Minister, they will receive confirmation via WhatsApp once the registration is finished, guaranteeing that they can pick up their deed in one visit. According to him, the state government is constantly striving to implement more citizen-friendly reforms and enhance the effectiveness of Sewa Kendras and Helpline 1076 in order to reduce the need for citizens to visit offices for work. According to Bhagwant Singh, the goal of this significant administrative reform milestone is to greatly facilitate people’s access to services in a hassle-free and seamless manner.
