UP Property Registration New Rules: Property buyers in Uttar Pradesh may receive significant relief. They will no longer be victims of fraud. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is preparing to amend the property registration rules.
UP Property Registration New Rules: Uttar Pradesh may be free from land-related fraud, forgery, and long-drawn court cases. The Yogi government has taken a major decision to change property registration rules across the state. Now, registration will be based on a title-based system, not documents. This means that before any property is sold, the government will verify whether the seller is the actual owner of the land or property. This will reduce fraud and make the buying and selling process more secure than before.
Currently, registration in Uttar Pradesh is conducted solely on the basis of documents provided by the seller and buyer. This often leads to registrations being made using fraudulent documents. People have fraudulently acquired other people’s property. The same land has been sold multiple times. Thousands of such cases have been pending in court for years. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took cognizance of this serious problem and directed the Registration Department to implement a technology and verification-based secure system, which has now resulted in title-based registry.
How will title-based registration change the picture?
The biggest change in title-based registration is that the government will now verify whether the seller has legal ownership of the property before a sale. To do this, records from the Revenue Department, Municipal Corporation, and Registry Department will be linked, so that sub-registrars can immediately see who the actual owner of the land or house is. This will only register transactions where the seller is the actual owner. Only those transactions will be registered where a clean title is available in the seller’s name. This model is already in place in states like Delhi and Haryana and has proven successful in preventing fraud.
Buyers Will Benefit
The new system will make purchasing a home or land more secure than ever before. Buyers will no longer have to rely solely on paperwork, but the government will also conduct a preliminary title verification. This will significantly reduce cases of fraud, cheating, and double registration. Furthermore, clear ownership will significantly reduce legal hassles. This will provide significant relief to first-time home buyers.
