The plot owner’s Aadhaar, OTP is required for registry in Haryana

GURUGRAM: A prime residential plot in Sushant Lok-1 owned by an 82-year-old doctor from New Delhi was allegedly transferred two times without her consent and acknowledgment. This all has happened because the plot was transferred in the presence of an imposter at the tehsil office. The imposter claimed to be the owner.

This is not the only one case; several cases occurred in the last year. Various such incidents have been reported in the city, where an imposter claims to be the owner and sells the land to another party. The government has now decided to prevent such fraudulent registries with the introduction of several new safety measures in its registry system. These safety measures have been launched earlier this month.

Now, all property details and revenue records will be in the digital form. Furthermore, each property has been assigned a unique identification number in the Haryana Land Records Information System (HALRIS). It is the portal used for registration and record of properties. Besides that, every property ID has been linked with the Aadhaar card and phone numbers of the property owner. After the government received several reports of irregularities in executing registry of plots in illegal colonies, all registries across the state were on hold for a few weeks. Now they have been resumed registries on September 1.

The new system has also removed the manual issue of appointment tokens for registry-related work. Now, one needs to apply online for tokens. While applying for a token, the user will have to fill in the property details and a one-time password (OTP). This OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number of the property owner. The further process will go ahead after submitting the OTP.

“In case some fraud is being done by somebody, the real property owner will be notified with the OTP. Without the OTP, any fraud person can’t proceed with the registry under the new system. This system is to help in preventing fraud and illegal registries,” said district revenue officer (DRO) Basti Ram.

Furthermore even if somehow the fraud person gets the correct OTP, the system will reject the application if the Aadhaar card number doesn’t match the system’s records, he added.

Earlier this process of getting tokens used to be manual. At that time we did not use to have a system in place to match the Aadhaar card number of the applicant with that in the record and check whether the applicant is the real owner or not. Anyone could easily get a token for the registry earlier. Now, only the original owner of the property will be able to get the token. “The system will also check if there is any court case pending over the property and whether the land is owned by the government or under acquisition,” an official said.
