Registrations of non-farm properties resume today

Hyderabad: Property registrations will resume in Telangana on Friday. After the High Court gave its nod on Thursday, the State government decided to restart the registrations of non-farm properties, which were stopped from September 8 across the State to introduce new registration system through Dharani portal.

Due to some technical glitches, the government could not start the property registrations on Dharani. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao directed Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar to commence the registration activities of non-agricultural properties from Friday in accordance with the court order.

Officials said that the old system would be followed in the registration process. The government incurred nearly Rs 1500 crore revenue loss due to stoppage of the property registrations. The proposal to hike the registration fee as also stamp duty was also put on hold for a while.
