Chandigarh Govt Set To Launch Aadhaar-Based Verification

Additionally, a similar PAN card authentication process will be introduced. Currently, manual verification of property-related documents is time-consuming and prone to discrepancies. The new system will streamline this by validating documents through UIDAI using thumb impressions in the biometric system. Once biometric authentication is complete, the system will automatically retrieve relevant data from CIDR, making the process faster, more transparent, and secure, reducing fraud and impersonation risks.

Last month, the administration launched several digital services, including the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS), Online Event Permissions System, and Online Certified Copy of Record of Rights at the sub-registrar office. With NGDRS, applicants can book appointments online, minimizing the need for physical visits to the registrar’s office.

The initiative is expected to enhance efficiency, reduce paperwork, and modernise property transactions in Chandigarh. Authorities believe that integrating biometric authentication with property registration will significantly reduce identity fraud and streamline the documentation process. By adopting digital verification methods, the administration aims to provide a secure, transparent, and user-friendly property registration system for residents.
