Delays in registering of sale deeds at sub- registrar office

Despite the introduction of the Generic Documents Registration System for registering sale deeds at sub-registrar offices in the state, applicants continue to face significant inconveniences. Numerous complainants assert that they are compelled to pay for appointments in Panaji and Margao and must endure a wait of nearly a month to obtain copies of sale deeds. This issue is particularly pronounced in Mapusa, Panaji, and Margao, where property transactions are most prevalent in Goa.

Applicants have voiced their dissatisfaction with the new system, describing it as a "painful" user experience. They contend that despite significant investments in a digital system, there seems to be minimal benefit for the average person. This has left many in a state of frustration, especially those currently waiting for copies of their sale deeds.

The authorities have acknowledged the challenges faced by their staff in handling the surge in daily requests for document registrations. State Registrar Parag Nagarcenkar disclosed, "Per day, we can register 44 sale deeds, which implies that our staff has to scan 8,000 pages every day." He further noted that the most significant issues appear to be concentrated in the Bardez region.

Efforts to address these ongoing challenges in the document registration system are essential to ensure a smoother and more efficient process for applicants. The digital system, while promising, appears to require further optimization to benefit the common person and streamline property transactions effectively.
