The department of stamps and registration is streamlining all its
offices To check its progress, a delegation from Mysore Grahakara
Parishat recently visited the Mysore (South) Sub-registrar's office
(opposite People's Park) which is presently manned by sub-registrars
M.V. Satheesh and H.T. Shashikala. The senior sub-registrar M.V.
Satheesh showed the delegation around and explained the various facets
of the office streamlining. It was noticed that the documents held by
the office such as various types of deeds (wills, gifts, leases, sales,
partitions, etc.) dealing with property, general powers of attorney,
marriage documents, etc. have been neatly sorted and catalogued so that
they can be retrieved quickly. Records from the year 2003 onwards have
been digitized and can be retrieved almost instantaneously. We were told
that the department is considering a proposal to digitize even records
before 2003 and if it happens, the office will be completely digitized.
Digitization has speeded up considerably the services provided by the
office. For example, "no encumbrance certificates" for the period after
2003 can now be provided within a day.
