Tamil Nadu Launches Online Presence-less Registration for First Property Sales
The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, has mandated online, presence-less registration for the first sale of plots and flats to enhance transparency and reduce physical visits to sub-registrar offices. Under the new system, buyers, sellers, and witnesses must upload Aadhaar details and complete biometric verification via the TNREGINET portal. Registrars are required to process applications within 24 hours, with digital signatures and dynamic color endorsements added to documents to prevent forgery. Certified copies will be accessible online for 60 days.
