CHENNAI, FEBRUARY 07, 2019 00:00 IST





Besides providing quick and transparent services, it will check impersonation to a great extent


The Registration Department will start live streaming of registration of documents and marriages on February 15. Work on installation of Internet Protocol (IP) cameras will be completed next week. The recorded video would also be stored in the 575 offices of the Department for one year.

“This will reduce impersonation to a great extent,” said J. Kumaragurubaran, Inspector General of Registration Department.

According to officials, the new system has been conceived with the aim of providing quick and transparent services and providing evidence of document execution by the registrants. This is also expected to curtail the movement of touts in the offices and safeguard against illegal activities during the registration processes. Senior officials would be able to monitor the activities of sub-registrar offices from the headquarters and respective zonal offices.

The proceedings recorded at the time of registration of documents and marriages can be used to prove that the registration is fraudulent and would be permissible as evidence for any enquiry on impersonation or fraudulent registrations.

Copied in DVDs

The project has been designed as a self-revenue generating model. The video and snapshot recorded at the time of registration of a document or marriage will be copied in a DVD and will be given to the registrants on payment of Rs. 50 per DVD.

The vendor, appointed through ELCOT, will complete work on the viewing facility at the office of the Inspector General of Registration and nine Zonal DIG offices. The IP camera operators have been appointed by the identified vendor to work in all sub-registrar offices for preparing and writing the DVDs and maintaining the devices linked to IP cameras. Estimated cost of the project for five years is Rs. 90.33 crore.

All the 575 sub-registrar offices have been provided with three IP cameras. One to capture the registration recordings above the sub-registrar, the second at the entrance of the record room and the third outside the office premises. The facility would capture voice recording in the entire premises with precision.

The recordings will be saved in network video recorder of 12 TB capacity and stored for at least one year and it is programmed to be removed by first in first out method. After completion of the registration process, officials would return the document to the citizen along with DVD pouch in a ‘document preservation cover’.

Senior officials will be able to monitor the activities from the headquarters and zonal offices.
