Tamil Nadu Document Writers Protest Government Plans to Privatize Registration Services
Document writers in Tamil Nadu have launched protests and strikes against the State government's plan to privatize the Registration Department's infrastructure through private Managed Service Providers under a five-year contract. They argue this move risks spurious transactions, threatens their livelihoods, and may increase registration costs. The government intends to maintain statutory services under Registrars and Sub-Registrars and has approved Model Registration Hubs allowing registrations across jurisdictions. Document writers warn that privatization and online processes could affect around 15 lakh people involved in registration.
